You need to do some digging around for information and reviews on the products before you make a final decision on what to buy. Here are the things to look for:
- First and foremost, read the terms of conditions before purchasing. Free trials are a way that many people feel they have been scammed with. What happens is someone who hasn’t read the terms and conditions will sign up for a free trial of acai supplements, then not realize that they need to cancel within a set period of time. The window of time closes, and they are billed $127 or whatever the costs for a year supply (non-refundable). So the moral of the story, be sure to read the terms and conditions, and if you are not happy with the product and want to discontinue, cancel within the allowed time.
- Certified organic ingredients – Make sure the ingredients used in the acai product are all organic. The berries should be free of pesticides and hormones.
- Acai berries are sensitive fruits, if they are not processed within 24 hours of being picked they start to quickly lose their valuable nutrients.
- Acai berries require a certain type of freezing to remain fresh. They must be freeze died and not spray died. This way the best quality possible is ensure.
- Watch for filler products. Some vendors, to use as little of the expensive acai berry as possible, will use fillers to pack the supplements. This can include toerh fruit. Watch out for this, as you’re not getting as high of a quality product from these.
And lastly, remember that not all the acai products out there are equal. You should always check the ingredients and serving size of each product. One product we know of offers 1500mg of Acai per serving, while another popular one only offers 150mg. To get the best benefits of acai, you want to consume 1000mg per day.
