Is There a Reason Not to Get Acai Berry at a Store

13th September, 2009 - Posted by health news - No Comments

Acai berries have become the hottest health supplement in the world. It is one of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet and you can find them at virtually any store that carries vitamins now. The problem with these “affordable” supplements is that there could be a lot of things wrong with them that could lead you to think bad things about acai berries. Below are some things you need to consider when buying acai berry supplements at a store.

Let’s start with acai berry supplements in a bottle. There are two things you need to be concerned with here other than wondering if this is one of the best diet pills for women. If you are shopping at a store like Walmart, you need to know that everything they buy is for profit. This means they often buy large quantities of lower quality products because they are more profitable. I’m not saying quality isn’t considered, but it isn’t the main thing considered when they buy anything. On the other end, you have health food stores. You will find high quality supplements, but you will also find high prices. They don’t buy huge quantities so they can’t get the lowest prices.

The internet will usually offer better deals than you will find at your local health food store and even better than Walmart most of the time. As long as you are dealing with a reputable company, you will get high quality supplements at low prices. You can also get free trials sometimes, but make sure you pay attention to the details of the offer so you don’t get unexpected products.

The other type of acai berry supplement you will often find is juice. There are some reputable companies that do a lot of business with grocery stores so you can get pretty high quality juices. The problem is they are diluted. I recently checked out a couple juices at the grocery store. There was a pure acai berry juice that cost $7 for a 32 ounce bottle and a mixed juice that cost $5 for a 32 ounce bottle. Amazon Thunder, one of the premium pure acai berry juices costs about $30 for a 32 ounce bottle. We have to assume that each provides similar acai berry content per serving and the nutritional labels indicate that they are pretty close. You will find the difference to be in serving size and overall cost of the supplements. The pure acai berry that costs $30 is thick and has a serving size of 1 ounce. Both of the juices from the grocery store have serving sizes of 8 ounces. This means that only get 4 servings per bottle at the grocery store which makes the cost per serving $1.25 and $1.75 compared to a cost per serving of less than $1 for the premium bottle.

The juice blends are usually very good to drink. These tasty drinks are very good and you drink them like any other beverage. However, if you are looking for the health benefits of acai berries, you get a better product and a better deal if you stick with pure acai berry puree from Amazon Thunder.
