Açaí berries - the superfood of the 21st century

If you need to give your health a little boost, açaí berries are your answer. Native to the Amazon rainforest, these dark purple berries have been consumed for centuries in South America for their energy boosting and antioxidant properties.

Açaí berries contain a high and varied nutrient content; in fact they are so packed with nutrients our body needs every day for optimal health that many people call it a superfood. Each açaí berry is a rich source of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, dietary fibre, protein, phytosterols and a multitude of vitamins and minerals.

A new study has now found that this little but powerful berry may also protect the brain.

Açaí berries may protect your brain

As we age our cells gradually deteriorate and with it so does our brain function. But according to a new study we may be able to protect our brain and keep it healthy for longer by consuming açaí berries. According to the study, the anti-inflammatory effects of the berries protect against age-related neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's - diseases which are associated with inflammation.

Where can you find açaí berries?

The açaí berry is a very perishable fruit and cannot be shipped long distances without comprimising its nutrient content and its effects. For this reason Doctor's Natural açaí supplement is grown and harvested in its native Brazilian forests and immediately freeze dried to ensure maximum preservation of its ingredients.
