Acai is found to be a rich source of organic vegetable protein that does not produce cholesterol during its digestion. This vegetable protein is easily processed and transported to your muscles when compared to animal protein. (like what can be found in dairy products or meat). Besides its outstanding content of protein and unsaturated lipids, acai is also rich in carbohydrates which provide your body with the necessary energy while working or practicing any kind of sport. Because of this, you can commonly find acai in Brazilian gyms, sports clubs and beaches.
According to medical research studies conducted on the acai berries, and cited below, their analysis reveals:
Medical research has found that there are lots of antioxidants that contribute to fighting premature aging.
Acai berry's proanthoctanidine ingredients are as much as 30 times the amount of anthocyaninc (the antioxidants that are purple in color) Red wine per litre. (1)
Even though the French eat a lot of fat, they have a lower occurrence of cardiovascular ailments than the western countries. This factor is because their consumption of red wine. (5)
A healthier heart and cardiovascular system as well as a healthy digestive system, can be promoted through the use of acai berries. This is caused by the combination of phytosterols, monounsaturated fats (the healthy ones), and dietary fiber .
An extremely good source of fiber. Two grams of dietary fiber is included in each serving of Acai berry preoducts. Fiber helps a person to have healthy digestion. Research studies indicate soluble fibers may assist in reducing blood cholesterol, while the insoluble fibers may assist in lowering the risk of developing certain types of cancers. (5)
The combination of trace minerals and essential amino acid complex are vital to proper muscle regeneration and contraction.
In addition the fluid and energy replacement, Acai berry is known to give a complete nutritional profile containing all minerals, vitamins, and essential fatty acids. (omega 3, 6 and 9).
Olive
oil has the resemblance in the ratio of fatty acids like in
acai berries. As per the studies this is found to be a factor
that contributes to the lesser incidences of heart disease occuring
in Mediterranean populations. (1,5)
Acai Berries has plant sterols which includes beta-sitosterol. Today, sterols are being used to treat associated benign prostate dyperplasia. (6) These plant sterols are also known to assist in cholesterol control, and act as precursors to various substances important to the body. (7)

OMEGA FATTY ACIDS;(Omega 9, Omega 6, and Omega 3). These mono-saturated
essential fatty acids help lower LDL (harmful cholesterol) while maintaining HDL (beneficial
cholesterol). This unique ratio resembles the same combination as olive oil. Omega fatty acids combat heart disease by increasing healthy cell development. Omega fatty acids are essential for healthy nervous system development and regeneration. They help rapidly repair and rejuvenate muscles after intense exercise.
AMINO ACIDS; the Acai berry contains an almost perfect essential amino acid complex. This is vital for proper muscle contraction and regeneration, and for endurance, strength, sustained energy and muscle development.
NATURAL VITAMIN E; to protect against aging.
THEOBROMINE; acts as a bronchial dilator to help open air passage ways in the lungs. This increased air capacity helps in oxygen intake, which increases endurance, strength, and athletic performance.
PHOTOSTEROLS; These complex compounds of plant cell membranes are used to treat symptoms associated with BPH, (benign prostate hyperplasia). Photosterols also help promote a healthy cardiovascular system and contributes to a healthy digestive tract.
ANTI-OXIDANTS; Acai is rich in antocyanins, an essential anti-oxidizer that helps combat premature aging. In fact, acai has 10 –30 times more anthocyanins (purple colored anti-oxidants) that a glass of red wine.
