Nutrition

The deep, dark wilderness of the tropical Amazon rainforest is home to the richest ecosystem on earth. Here, the soils are fertile with dark organic nutrients and elements, untouched by pesticides or pollution. This is where we find our Açaí palm, growing in dense stands along the banks of the Amazon River. The resilient Açaí tree, known to locals as the tree of life, grows in abundance and it’s from these wild growing Açaí trees that we hand select the freshest fruits to capture the natural essence of the berry in all of our Amazonia's Açaí products.

The Açaí berry is widely regarded by nutritionists as a superfood, being one of the most nutrient-rich whole foods on the planet. It’s like a natural multi-vitamin. Hidden within its lush purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature’s ultimate energy fruit, packed with antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids.

Remember, your natural body is the only thing that can heal, revitalise and energise - we can only aid in this process.

Acai Berries contain one of the richest sources of ANTHOCYANINS ever discovered! Anthocyanins is the compound usually referred to in red wine (it is what makes red wine red, also found in many other foods like purple cabbage, eggplants and blueberries). Amazonia's Purpleberry contains 101 times more anthocyanins level when compared to red grapes (Based on ORAC testing by the Australian Measurement Institute) and if you look at our AMAZONIA Purpleberry you’ll see that its main characteristic is the berry’s very rich dark purple colouring (caused by a high concentration of anthocyanins!).

Blood before taking ACAI BERRIES (showing Erythrocytes aggregation)

These red blood cells are sticking to one another and forming clumps, due to being coated in sticky proteins. This is a sign that there may be inflammation happening in the body. This inflammation could be associated with infection, allergy, toxicity, poor digestion or unhealthy dietary choices.

We can then conclude; Your blood feeds every part of the body's organs, tissue, cells, muscles, and most importantly the BRAIN. So imagine the all round effects of healthy blood.

Laboratory research show that anthocyanins can display a variety of health benefits including;

• Reduces oxidation of LDL cholesterol, reduces blood stickiness (platelet aggregation), dilated blood vessels and improve overall heart function.
• Protect against cancer by inhibiting inflammation, cancerous changes in cells and tumour growths.
• Reduce premature brain aging and enhance memory.
• Helps prevent macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in people of the age of 65."
