Acai, Antioxidant-rich, Energy Booster
Acai,
often referred to as a
“super
fruit”, grows in the
Amazon rainforest where it is commonly used in the local
diet because of its high nutritional value and also because
it is an excellent source of energy.
This rich purple fruit, with concentrations of antioxidants
higher than red wine, helps to slow down our body’s aging
process and maintain good cardiovascular health. Acai is
also an excellent source of calcium, iron, phosphorus,
vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin C, vitamin E and
essential fatty acids. In addition, Acai is rich in fibers
aiding in keeping a healthy GI tract.
Acai is especially popular
in Brazil where it is recognized as a good
energy
booster before or after intense exercise.
Due
to its many flavor and nutritional benefits, it is an
excellent choice for applications in the food, beverage and
supplement markets.
PLT offers the
highest standardized Acai extract, 10% phenolics and
dehydrated acai pulp.
