They seem like a fad fruit to me. They’re probably the same nutritionally as pomegranates or blueberries, which are other fad fruits. But if your question is choosing between juice or fruit, go with the fruit. It usually has more fiber.

Acai is actually one of the most nutritous fruits on the planet. They even have more antioxidants than blueberries.

I used the acai berry supplements to help me when I needed to lose some weight and it worked quite effectively.
Now I wasn’t overly over weight but I needed/wanted to lose 15 lbs. I’m a busy person and knew that I could only fit in an exercise program 3 times a week where I would jog 3miles. 3 Miles of jogging/walking only equals about 400-500 calories burned, this is great, but my biggest vice is my mid afternoon snacking habit, so that 3pm bag of doritios could easily blow my jogging plans to help me lose weight, so I needed something to help me.
I can’t remember where I read that the acai berry was good at curbing appetitte so I took advantage of the free trial bottle offer full well knowing that I was going to have to pay for susequent bottles, but for me I only needed to use the supplements temporarily.
They worked great at curbing my mid afternoon office snacking urges and along with some diet and exercise I was able to lose the weight.
Now could I have done it without the product, ya probably, but it was easier for me at least to do it this way, and I found that after a couple months once I did lose my weight a side benefit was I got used to not snacking mid afternoon, and so in the end the acai berry not only helped me lose the weight but it also made it easier to curb an old urge which helped me keep the weight off..
I know it’s a long drawn out story but not sure how else to discribe it. I got my acai berry supplements from the site below, but there are many other sites you could get them as well, its really up to you, but this was my experience with the stuff

If it is a good quality acai berry product, then yes, it is worth it. Acai is the best known antioxidant fruit that is known on the planet. The antioxidants in acai help to cleanse your body. The natural lipids in acai help to give you more energy and stamina. The fiber in acai helps digestion and fat loss.
I’ve been using acai berry products for a couple of months now and I’ve noticed that yes they do work. I used them when I wanted to trim off about 15lbs.
I knew that diet and exercise alone would help achieve that goal alone but I needed something to help me with my mid afternoon snacking urges. This is where I found the acai berry really helped me.
It helped to curb those mid afternoon urges which meant when I went out jogging later that night I wasn’t just jogging to work off that bag of Doritios I snacked on around 3pm instead I was actually working off the weight I wanted..
After a couple months I now no longer needed the supplements and can manage my weight more easily, so I found that yes they really did help speed up my weight loss goals when I used them along with a diet and exercise program, as the berries gave me more energy and helped to curb my appetite
I got my free trial bottle from the site below

I’ve been using Acai for over seven years back when only a tiny Brazilian cafe in Berkeley California sold it here in Northern California and find it more of a food than a supplement. If you like the taste of the juice then wonderful as it is very delicious but if you desire Acai’s full benefits then I highly recommend bypassing the juice which is almost always Acai in a very diluted form and purchasing the berry pulp in frozen form from Sambazon, the first and still the most reliable importer of Acai. I don’t take meds nor do I have diet issues but eaten as whole food, Acai should be very beneficial to your body as it contains not only one of the strongest antioxidants alongside Pomegranate and Aronia berries but Acai contains omega fatty acids which are healers and brain food.
I would caution against taking it in a dried supplement form, though I only say that because there is no data available on how it might interact with meds just in case you may be taking any or if it even is effective as a capusule. My experience with the supplement is that it is similar to taking grape seed extract or cranberry capsules; benign but beneficial. Pomegranate and Acai are fine together but ideally you should space out your consumption of any antioxidants throughout the day so they are absorbed steadily. For instance, eat a little bit of acai with each meal instead of one package or bottle a day at a single sitting.
Foods that have tended to conflict with absorption of antioxidants are usually high in Vitamin A (liver, organ meats) ,VERY high in acidity like grapefruit juice or dairy product based. Acai is one of the best foods you can put in your body and it should be much more mainstream than it currently is. Unlike many other super foods it’s affordable!

Acai berries are amazingly good for you. Here’s why:
They are very, very high in antioxidants. Antioxidants help your body fight off free radicals. Free radicals are extremely damaging to your body and can even cause cancer and other diseases. Acai berries are reported to have the highest antioxidant score of all fruits and veggies.
They’ve got essential fatty acids which your body needs to function normally. It also promotes healthy skin.
They also have a lot of other vitamins and minerals that you need to be healthy.
Acai berries help you to look better, sleep better, digest your food better, and think more clearly. Acai also helps your body cleanse which is so important these days because we are all bombarded with chemicals and other toxins.
To answer your question about acai/pomegranate juice: That mixture is just fine because pomegranates are also high in antioxidants and other nutrients that do your body good. Rather than focusing on just one antioxidant food, it’s an excellent idea to get antioxidants from a variety of foods. Where one source is lacking, another source may be able to supply that lack. Eating a variety of foods will help you to cover all the bases nutritionally.
The key is to avoid juices or supplements that are full of sugar and fillers. Read the labels to make sure it’s pure. I’m including a link to help you learn more about how acai berries can benefit your body. This page also give you ideas for how to use acai and tells you what to look for and what to avoid in brands so that you make sure you’re getting the best possible product. Well, hope that helps!
