Acai berry side effects
Acai berries are fruit, not drugs, so the
side effects of ingesting too many Acai berries or acai berry
juice is negligible.
Acai berries do have large amounts of
Vitamins such as Vitamin C (in Flavonid form) and Vitamin E, so
vitamin overdoses still apply. Common 'side effects' of a
vitamin overdose such as Vitamin C is a messy stool or acidic
taste in the mouth.
Antioxidants, which Acai berries are most
famous for, cannot be taken to overdose. Dr. Andrew Schauss,
the world's leading expert on acai berries, says that our
bodies work better the more Antioxidants we take in, but at the
level of 6,000 ORAC TE per gram of antioxidants our body can't
use any more in a given day and our liver then flushes the
overage out... just like when you drink too much
water your veins don't fill up with water instead of
blood... It's simply regulated. So there is no way to overdose
on antioxidants at all.
In Dr. Schauss' recent study on a fruit
juice blend containing Acai berry juice, he found in blood
samples that the Antioxidant compounds from the Acai
were very strong during the first two hours after
ingesting them... After the send hour they fell of rapidly, so
it appears that ingesting Acai juice every 3 hours
would be ideal up to an intake of 6,000 TE per gram
daily.
Basically, the more Acai berries you add to
your diet, the healthier you should become!
