Acai Berry??

[Lunachick1]

i did a search on here about them and did not find much about it. As i am sure most of you have seen the advertisements for it i have recently gotten a bottle of the acai berry pills. I havent taken any yet because I have no idea if it might screw me up OR even how many carbs would be in a pill. if any? I will also post this in supplements. but wanted to see if anyone here had any info about them.

any info would be wonderful.

Re: Acai Berry??

I am not sure what these pills are for - are they a supplement?

Is there a list of ingredients or any nutrition info on the bottle?

Acai is a powerful antioxident and energizer. In Brazil it's actually an ice cream flavor. It's also commonly used in juices, smoothies, and the like. The tree is in the palm family and the berry is a drupe (same family as grapes, peaches, cherries). It has protien in it and is about 50% fat plus it's very high in fiber (similar to an avocado). (Although in pill form the fiber is removed)

I'm thinking that like cranberry pills it probably has an incidental <1 carb in the powered pill. This is the only quote I could find

However, acai capsules are a concentrate of the juice in the sense that all the water, fiber, and sugars have been removed.

Well I started the pills last night and today. I am still in ketosis. They say you loose weight with them also. But primarily i want them for the great nutritional value.

thanks so much for looking that up!
