Açaí Berry Oil - Benefits and Uses


Acai Oil -  (Euterpe oleraceae, Arecaceae)




Why is Acai Oil so beneficial?

The Acai fruit does, in fact, contain a truly amazing nutrient profile with a combination of omega-3, omega-6 and omega 9 essential fatty acids that support cellular structure, phytosterols, vitamins such as B1, B2, B3, E, and C, minerals such as phosphorus, calcium, and potassium, and essential amino acids. And as importantly, the Acai fruit is rich in anthocyanins and phenols, which are powerful antioxidants. It is no secret that Vitamin C is essential for helping to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin. Research shows that the content of anthocyanins is reported to be an astounding 10-30 times higher than the anthocyanin content of red wine grapes 
Studies have also shown that the phenols in Acai Berry Oil may help destroy and protect against cancer cell formation. 
The Acai Berry boasts the highest per unit value of antioxidant power (ORAC) of any edible fruit in the world.
