Acai: What is it?

Straight from the Amazon rainforests in Brazil, acai (ah-sigh-EE) is a purple berry with the unique taste of berries and chocolate. Growing atop the Amazon palm tree, this energy fruit's benefits are vast. Acai has established a reputation among athletes and health experts alike to strengthen immunity, fight diseases such as cancer, and combat the effects of aging. The acai berry has quickly become one of natures top antioxidants.

Amazon Thunder™ Acai

Established by husband and wife team, Amazon Thunder prides itself on excellence. You will find nothing less in our products. Our acai is 100% organic and processed and refined in quality controlled IMO organic certified facilities in Brazil. We then import it to USDA organic certified facilities in the United States for individual packaging. We guarantee only the highest quality certified organic acai products.

Amazon Thunder™  acai is unique from other acai in the market. It is the only acai concentrate with no added sugar. Sugar causes inflammation, so adding sugar would work against the the anti-inflammatory benefits of acai. Another reason our acai is unique is that we do not add caffeine to our acai.

Acai: Natures Super Fruit

Acai has proven to be one of natures most nutritious and powerful fruits. Although there are other antioxidant wellness fruits like Goji, Noni and Mangosteen, none of them can compete with acai. Acai has more benefits than these fruits because it contains things they do not, such as Omega 3, 6, and 9. And, most of these fruits, come from China refineries where they are sprayed with harsh chemicals and preservatives. China has no organic program and the lowest form of quality control.

Amazon Thunder™ contains:

• Essential Fatty Acids, Omegas 3, 6 and 9: It is important to include these "good" fats in our diet. Our bodies do not make large quantities of these fats even though they are essential for our vital functions. They help to build the structure of cell membranes and synthesize prostaglandin, lecithin, and melanin. They also help to maintain low levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. They stabilize our hearts rhythm, clean the arteries, and normalize arterial pressure. These fats regulate the hormone prostaglandin as well. Prostaglandin cleanses the blood vessel walls and stops the formation of blood clots. Omega 9 helps to reduce arterioscleroses and balances the glucose by reducing our resistance to insulin. These essential fatty acids also help to improve our immune system.

• Anthocyanins and Polyphenols (Antioxidants): Anthocyanins and Polyphenols prevent oxidation cell damage caused by "free radical" molecules. "Free radical" molecules split important cells, including proteins, which damages membranes and causes mutations in our DNA. When this happens, it opens the door for the growth of cancer, loss of mental capacity and memory, early aging, and poor health.

• Essential Amino Acid: This essential amino acid increases strength and resistance by helping with muscle regeneration.

• Sterols (beta-sitosterol): The formula of sterols is like the formula of cholesterol. Because of this, it helps the body resist absorbing cholesterol. It has been used to lower the bloods cholesterol level's and diminish prostate problems as well as control type II diabetes. It is also known to strengthen the immune system and have an anti-mutagenic effect.

• Vitamins A and C: These vitamins are found in nature and are classified as an antioxidant vitamin. They strengthen our immune system, benefit our skin, increase our eyesight and help to form red blood cells. Without vitamin A, you will have blurry vision, weak nails, loss of hair, and dry skin. Without vitamin C, your defenses will be weakened, you will experience premature aging, slower healing processes, and inflammation.
