The health benefits and sweet flavour of the acai berry are at last available as a super snack for busy and active Australians wherever they may be located.

One particular area of the population who stand to gain from the berry is those involved in sports. They will be pleased to discover that the acai is a natural and tasty alternative to the protein drinks and bars they normally consume to help them with training, competitions and workouts.

Other people too can benefit from this energizing berry. Since vegetarians, vegans, and dieters may eat little or no meat, eggs and/or dairy, acai is a natural substitute containing the proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that their diets sometimes lack.

So what exactly is it that makes this berry so special? The answer to that question is in the contents of the berry, which many people say act as a remedy to numerous ailments and problems with health. The berry consists of Vitamins B1, B2, B3, C and E as well as iron, ORAC, calcium, potassium, protein, phosphorus, fiber, phytosterols, sterols, fatty acids Omega 6 and 9, fatty acids of an unsaturated nature, anthocyanin and polyphenols.

The berry is healthier than blueberries, eggs and pomegranates and those consuming it will feel the benefit by way of relief with arthritis, body cleansing, and reduction of heart, digestion, inflammation, immunity and skin problems. As well as a general feeling of well being, there is also likely to be a rise in energy and stamina levels.

Since it doesn't contain any cholesterol it can help reduce and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. It also benefits certain arthritis and inflammation problems. And, during cold winter months, it can prevent flu, viruses, and other illnesses. It is also good for stress, strengthening the heart and helping ward off heart disease - ideal for students and professionals.

The above mentioned facts are probably the reason that many athletes and celebrities in Australia are now devoted to the acai berry and speak highly of the remarkable way in which this little gem has affected their performance and their daily lives.

World Surfing Champion, Layne Beachley, states that Amazon Power Acai "offers the best sustenance" for her surfing competitions and her training workouts. The berry is light and easily digested yet she remains satisfied the whole day long. The sweet flavour of the berry, and the fact that the contents are natural, appeals greatly to her. Also to help with her many food allergies and restricted diet, the Amazon Power Acai has the necessary antioxidants, nutrients, proteins and vitamins she needs to replace on a regular basis.

Chris Friend, Pro Junior Surfer and Runner-up ISA Amateur World Champion, also speaks very highly of Amazon Power Acai and says it gives him power to train and "surf at 100% intensity." It is his regular good tasting breakfast food, and he snacks on the berry during the day too.

Acai is available all over the world these days and more and more people who are conscious of their health are taking acai on a regular basis. The fruit itself is similar to a sweet blueberry, with a hint of chocolate in the taste. As a juice, a puree, a powder, in capsule form, or simply as the berry itself, it will give an energy boost whilst at the same time helping to alleviate many health concerns.
