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.
