Acai berry supplements can be very expensive and difficult to determine which ones are really the best for you. In addition to this, there are lots of various cleansing products out there that include acai berry and while I don’t endorse any particular product i do advise at least looking at the different products out there to see which ones might be appropriate for you if buying the supplements or the juice is simply too difficult or too expensive to do. Never give all of your personal information away on any website that offers these products and make sure you read all the fine print head of time. The reason these products are offered is not only because of the acai berry’s popularity but because the berry is impossible to get outside of where it’s grown which is the Amazon rain forest. The reason for this is because the berry is extremely perishable and goes bad after 24 hours, so people have to get there acai berry fix either through supplementation, frozen purée, or acai juice. The most common means that people get their acai berry is through juice form.

An acai juice cleanse alone is simply not enough, however, when it is used in combination with other juices and smoothies it can be a great addition to a cleansing routine to really help you clean your colon, they’re also really tasty drinks as well. There isn’t any one particular brand that I tend to favor over another, but probably the easiest acai juice you can find is from sambazon. This particular brand of acai juice can be found in most supermarkets and is generally superior in terms of its fatty acid content as well as the very important fiber content which is crucial to an acai juice cleanse. I also recommend the purée from Amazon thunder as well which comes in a bottled form; this too along with the frozen purée that you can get from either company is one of the purest forms and can be mixed in with your juice or smoothie.

The liver is our main detoxifying organ, and because of this a lot of people want to consume different juices and other products to help support and total cleanse this vital organ so it can then do its job as well. For a while the super fruit juice that was touted to do this with pomegranate and while also extremely healthy, it has been commercially superseded by the acai juice. So does a side juice cleanse the liver? No more so than any other fruit or vegetable, however when used in conjunction with other beneficial fruits and vegetable juices it can help synergistically improve the overall blend of juice that you’re taking in improve the potency of the vegetable were juice that you’re taking to cleanse your liver.

The acai berry comes in a lot of different forms, but if you would prefer to stick to a liquor juice form I advise getting the liquid purée which, although not a complete liquid, is also not a solid or a powdered supplement which I believe are inferior forms of acai. And seeing as we cannot actually get the berries themselves because of how perishable they are this might be the best way of getting a side juice into your other juices so that you can help give your liver the nutrition it needs. So does a side juice cleanse liver? That depends on what you consider to be “juice”, while a side juice is not cleanse the liver by itself adding the purée to hear more well established cleansing juices may be an excellent way to get some of the acai berry’s benefits in a form that is most likely to benefit your liver.

Acai juice blends are full of sugar, and rarely is it ever stated on the nutrition facts what the actual percentage of acai juice is in the container. From the research I’ve done the best form should you choose to get acai is in freeze dried powder form. I say this because provided you get it from a reputable company, it’s in the purest state-along with the puree option that you can get it in, next to having the berry itself of course. And the reason most of us outside of Brazil cannot get these amazing berries is because they spoil after 24 hours of being picked and can only be grown in the Amazonian climate, so anyone trying to sell you the whole berries themselves is trying to scam you, don’t buy it.

The acai berry has 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine. However this is not a statement of POTENCY, this is a statement of the VARIETY of different antioxidants and anthocyanins. The biggest acai berry benefits in regards to a total cleanse or partial cleansing are its trace fiber content and its impressive levels of omega fatty acids. Now having said this, the acai is not a significant source of fiber, but you can get a couple grams out of the powder form and if mixed with juice, especially with freshly juiced juice, the enzymes will unlock a lot of what’s beneficial about the acai powder and provide a very effective carrier of the acai nutrients, whereas mixing it with just water or store bought juice would not have this effect due to not having live enzymes.

In regards to the fatty acids it contains all three omega fatty acids but mostly consists of omega 9 which is a monounsaturated fat also known as oleic acid, which the body CAN produce in small quantities. Therefore it is not an essential fatty acid but DOES become so if you body is lacking the other two particularly Omega 3’s and then you would need to get it from your diet. Acai can be an effective addition to a juicing and whole body cleanse regimen if kept in perspective and not solely relied on.  In my next article on acai juice benefits, I will go into more detail about which brands of acai I prefer and why and what you should look for in a acai product for use during a total cleanse.
