Amazing Acai
Unlock a wealth of health and beauty benefits with Acai (ah-sigh-ee). 
This small, deep purple Amazonian berry is being hailed by health and beauty gurus such as Dr. Nicholas Perricone as a premier source of anti-aging antioxidants - more potent than other conventional fruits, such as blueberries and even the mighty pomegranate.
While you won’t find the berry sold at your local grocery store, you can pick up a jar of Sambazon Pure Acai powder at Whole Foods Market.
At only 19 calories a scoop, acai also contains a healthy dose of Omega 3, 6 and 9 plus amino acids and fiber. And, unlike blueberries, grapes or pomegranates, a serving of acai has 0 grams of sugar. Add a scoop to smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt.
Taste? There really is none to speak of, maybe just a hint of chocolate flavor (never a bad thing). 
Or, give Sambazon “pulp packs” a try. In the frozen foods section (again, at the glorious Whole Foods), these individually portioned packs are perfect for slipping into a blender. Add milk, and some protein powder, hit blend and voila, a perfect breakfast or post-workout delight.
Do beware that lurking in close vicinity to the 100% acai pulpy packs are Sambazon and other acai products that have been blended with other juices. While these products still contain antioxidants, they have a higher sugar content and less of the coveted acai.
If you are among the truly nutritionally lazy (no shame, no shame) go for Sambazon’s Powercapsule. Your daily dose of the Amazon in an easy to swallow capsule.
People, there is a reason those Brazilians look so damn good in those teeny bikinis. Acai??? Maybe . . . But what I do know, is that Acai can help you look and feel your best, and that makes it one supplement that is truly hot.

That’s wonderful, although it’s not that available in most places. I think it will soon be out of stock if people will discover it’s health benefits.

Availability is a factor, indeed. Soon, probably more people will demand for it and its supply will surely increase. Thanks for sharing this wonderful info.

You can order acai from Vitamin Shoppe. Also, check Whole Foods, Vitamin Cottage or Wild Oats.
Just beware of products that contain acai but also added sugar - there are lots of cereals and juices hitting shelves that have acai but also sugar (bah humbug!)
