The Brazilian
Beauty Secret

Acai, (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) also known as the “beauty berry,” is a superfruit from the jungles of the Brazilian rainforest. The Acai berry is one of the world’s most interesting and unique foods—it is also one of the healthiest. Chocked full of antioxidants, amino acids (protein), and essential fatty acids, the tiny purple Acai berry packs a nutritional punch rarely seen in the natural world. In fact, many experts consider Acai to be the world’s complete natural food.

To the people of South America and the Brazilian Amazonian region, the Acai berry has been a staple and critical medicinal berry to thousands of people for centuries. The historical use of the Acai berry dates back over a thousand years and its therapeutic food value was well-known to the earliest Brazilian natives. There are many legends that pertain to the Acai’s incredible healing and sustaining powers, and Acai remains a popular health and energy food in Brazil today. Brazilians often consider the Acai berry to be the “Viagra of the Amazon,” referring to its ability to help support and sustain sexual energy in the body.

The Acai berry is an age-old Brazilian beauty secret. Acai not only helps support healthy hair, skin and nails, but it also is known to support healthy aging and longevity. It’s no wonder that today, the Acai berry continues to be an essential part of the daily diets of the beautiful people of Brazil, and it seems that the rest of the world is finally catching on to nature’s powerful beauty secret.
