Berry Extract

Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) is a purplish fruit that grows on palm trees in the Amazon rain forest that is a deep purple colored berry. This berry has a flavor that is a mix between chocolate and berries and has been consumed for centuries by the Brazilians. It is high in nutrients and anti-oxidants and has been touted as the new "superfood". Acai Berry Power 500 is a compound made of the extract of this berry that is said to flush out excess pounds, reduce water bloat and retention and help melt away pounds.

Acai Berry Power 500 has been met with mixed reviews. While the acai berry is a healthy food, that boosts energy and metabolism and Acai Berry Power 500 only contains Acai berry extract, there is little data to support the weight loss, or known side effects. It is an extract form of the berry, so the benefits are not as great as with the whole fruit, and it has not been approved by the FDA, as a weight loss supplement.

The most major downside of many of the reviews of Acai Berry Power 500, is the auto-ship, free trial offers available at numerous websites online. By signing up for the free trial offer, you are automatically entered into an auto-ship program at $89 per bottle, and many people are reporting being signed up for memberships into other programs with a monthly fee, that are listed in the small print, but aren't discovered by most until the additional charges are shown on their credit card statement.

In addition, many people are waiting weeks for a shipment to arrive after being billed, and then encounter non-response when trying to cancel the additional memberships, original free trial and subsequent auto-ship programs and charges. This is definitely a case of "buyer beware".

Part of the claims of Acai Berry Power 500 is "flush out excess pounds", "break up and remove harmful toxins", "have more energy and fight fatique" and "reduce gas and bloating, while flattening your tummy". Acai Berry 500 is a dietary supplement meant to be taken in addition to a balanced low calorie diet and adequate exercise program to burn more calories than you take in, which is the safest and most natural way to lose weight.

While the Acai Berry Power 500 contains anti-oxidants through the acai berry, there are several dietary weight loss products on the market that contain the extract. It is meant to jump start a diet through rapid weight loss, but with the price of $89, there are certainly more affordable methods to achieve a jump start, since anti-oxidants and diuretics are often the reason for quick "water weight" loss, and they can be found naturally in many different foods.

There are products sold over the counter at many natural health stores that contain acai berry extract. The main thing is to carefully research any online purchases and read all the small print on any trial offer to avoid disappointment and extra charges later. While the benefits of eating more anti-oxidants through natural foods such as the acai berry is not disputed, you need to analyze whether Acai Berry Power 500 is right for you, since it is to be used as a supplement to a weight loss diet.

If you have been reading reviews of Acai Berry 500, but aren't convinced, then maybe you should consider investigating other Acai berry supplements like Acai Pure.
