Acai is a fruit from the Amazon rain forest that is taking the United States and the world by storm! Acai fruit has more antioxidants than blueberry's and pomegranates as well as many other great nutrients such as Omega fats, protein, and fiber.
Sambazon is working with many organic growers in the Amazon region to bring you the highest quality Acai on earth! Dr.
Perricone's one of Oprahs closest friends rated the Acai the number superfood in the world! The fatty acid in açaí is much like that of olive oil, and is full of monounsaturated oleic acid.
Oleic acid is very important to your health for a number of reasons.
It helps omega-3 oils penetrate the cell together they help make cell membranes more supple.
By keeping the cell membrane supple, all hormones, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors function more efficiently.
This is important because high insulin levels create an inflammatory state, and we know, inflammation causes aging.
Sambazon was started in 2000 by a group of surfers from California believe it or not.
While on a surfing trip to Brazil they discovered the Acai fruit.
They were amazed by the energy it provided and the wonderful taste.
Over 10,000 people in the rain forest help them harvest a sustainable crop of Acai that is also certified organic.
By doing this they give the the people there a incentive to grow and protect the land for generations to come.
They are also a fair trade program which helps the low income family's of the rain forest support their families.
They are helping those families as well as helping people lead healthier lives by making such a great product.
