One of the most popular current health supplement trends is the acai berry which is reported to promote weight loss and improved general health. Let’s spend a few minutes talking about acai berries and what health benefits they bring to the table. We will close by going over how you can get great deals on this supplement and get started for almost nothing.

The biggest thing acai berry supplements are good for is supplying your body with antioxidants. You have probably heard of antioxidants before. Their purpose is to neutralize free radicals within your body. Free radicals roam around and cause damage to your body at a cellular level. Antioxidants roam around neutralizing these free radicals. In the process of neutralizing the free radicals, they are consumed. This means you need to continually keep replenishing your supply of antioxidants.

You can get more antioxidants in a couple ways. You can eat fruits and vegetables. Blueberries have traditionally been thought of as being very high in antioxidants. In the last few years, 2 other foods have come into the spotlight because they are even higher in antioxidants. A few years ago, it was discovered that the pomegranate had a very high level of antioxidants and it was touted as the greatest super food known to man. Since then, an even more powerful antioxidant has been found, the acai berry.

The antioxidant level of many foods has been tested and the acai berry has shown itself to have the highest level of any practical food or supplement. The berry is also high in fiber which can help regulate your body and improve overall health and help you lose weight. There are even reports that it acts as an apatite suppressant in some people. To make things better, there aren’t any known acai berry side effects so you should be able to try acai berry supplements without any risk of unwanted side effects.

In many cases, you can try out acai berry supplements for almost free. Many companies have free trial offers where they will ship you some supplements to try and all you have to do is pay for shipping and handling. This cost is usually around $5. You will be signed up for an automatic monthly shipment when you do this which is not free. If you decide not to keep taking them, just cancel and you won’t get any more. This can be a really good way to try several acai berry supplements for free. I have also seen this kind of offer for another up and coming supplement, resveratrol.
