| I am always skeptical about the "newest, greatest" product of the day. However, this product does live up to the hype. When I first opened the canister it looked and smelled pretty close to dirt. I immediately looked for the size of the scoop hoping it wasn't huge because I really couldn't imagine drinking this stuff! After finding a rather small scoop, approx. 1/2 tsp. size, I mustered enough courage to taste it. Not bad. Not much of a taste, chalky with a hint of dirt, but I figured in a smoothie I could deal with it. Well, it is UNNOTICABLE in my smoothies, oatmeal and yogurt..(Woot, Woot, Woot!!!) Can't taste Acai at all, but WOW what a feeling! I am a deep tissue massage therapist and by the end of the day I would be ready for the couch and a book...now I don't feel exhausted and I am much less sore after a long day. My joints seem less stiff, no bloat after lunch, no pain in my wrists. I only take one scoop a day and that seems to work for me. I am recommending this to my clients. I don't usually do that, but I really like this product. I am also allergic to seafood so I don't eat fish and this product provides me with 30mg of Omega 3, 500mg of Omega 6 and 1200mg of Omega 9. No sugar and 1g Carbo. All Natural. Put in BLENDER for best results...mixing with a spoon doesn't work at all. |

This product is phenomenal! I will address some of the criticisms briefly:
1. Come on folks, use your imagination regarding taste. There are many obvious ways that one can consume this powder that all but negates it' unusual taste. Some have been mentioned by other reviewers. The smoothie with frozen fruit and Jay Rob's Protein Powder (strawberry for me :) tatstes great. Throw in some honey and a scoop of Salba and your arteries will thank you!
2.This powder has fat soluble components in it namely as omega fatty acids. For this reason, much of it is not that water soluble. Unless you would like the company to process the heck out of the stuff, you just learn to deal with it. i put 2 scoops in Green or white tea and have come to enjoy the very organic experience of drinking down the organic berry pulp floating on the surface:) Add some honey if your programing for the taste of sugar will not allow you to get used to it as is. It might help to consider what this stuff is doing inside of you while you drink it!
3. Acai is a super-food for sure. Please do not evaluate the quality of this product against outrageous marketing claims created for the sole purpose of sales. Some of these outrageous claims do Acai a great disservice! I can say without question that regular consumption of this powder will have a multitude of health benefits. Some will be perceived and others may not. Realistic expectations are key. I have a great sense of energy, clarity, and peace when I ingest this product. I often will add some authentic guarana powder from the Amazon and my energy levels are phenomenal for the better part of an entire day. The other things you consume and how you take care of yourself will all predict how immediately you will respond to this product. One thing is for sure, it is IMO, the purest most native form of Acai available and I have tried and researched them all. Give this product a try. Teach your kids to develop a method of enjoying this product. It will have a dramatic impact on the health of your family for years to come:) |

| This country has gone crazy for Acai. This product is great. A "thunder" scoop in your morning smoothie and you are off to conquer the world. Highly recommended. |

I tried this product and thought it was horrible - at first. Mixed it with Greek yogurt and almost gagged. Tasted like dried paint. Then I read the serving suggestions and noticed that "a shot" was an option. So, I tried it as a "shot" with a chaser of water. Wasn't too happy with the taste - again, at first. Kept it up as my Rosacia was appearing less and less and my complexion was getting more clear. I am very happy to say that the mask is gone, no more red face, and the taste has gotten to be something I look forward to! (My hairdresser has actually asked for my secret complexion recipe) Amazing. Kind of like going from regular soda to diet. I'm now doing two to three "shots" per day, and my energy is way up, clarity of thought is better, mask is GONE, and I have actually lost a modicum (sp?) of belly fat. Not the amount that the advertisements talk about in the ads, but at least it's gotten me to look less bloated.
Do the shots. So much faster and better. Why mix and dilute? I do recommend this. Nothing worked for me before. I love it! |
Great!!!!!

This product is great. 3 days after my first use, I've experience more energy and I sleep better at night. I have constant pain in my legs, back and shoulders and that has also gone away. People these results where in just 3 days of taking the product!!!! Try it you have nothing to loose.
About the flavor. Yes, it's not pleasing but if you mix it with yogurt (I use Activia strawberry flavor) you will not notice the powder is even there. |
