Acai capsule
Powdered Acai berries are sometimes
delivered in capsule form. A typical Acai Capsule contains 500
milligrams of powdered Acai berry pulp, NOT including the seed,
with ideally only the water removed from the berry for maximum
health value.
One benefit of taking Acai capsules over
acai juice is that the powdered version of an acai berry
contains very few calories, so dieters often prefer them over
the juice form.
However, it is a sad fact that the powdered
form of Acai berries will lose around 50% to 65% of the
nutrients and antioxidants of properly prepared Acai berry
juice, simply because they and the Omega 3, 6, & 9 fatty
acids all existed in the Seed of the Acai berry... So no
capsule unless it says that they have specifically included the
Seed on the label, is any better for you than eating the frozen
pulp itself.
A good 'Rio Bowl' in the morning, made of
100 grams of frozen Acai pulp, is effectively 20
TIMES as healthful to you as one of these
capsules.
