Manufacturers of the supplements have suggested that in addition to its value as an anti-oxidant, acai berry can help increase energy, improve libido, aid digestion, clear skin infections, detoxify the body, reduce cholesterol, help heart function and improve sleep. However, the main marketing claim is that acai supplements assist in weight loss. While reputable research does not deny the value of the berry as a nutritional product, the extent of the supplement's claims have yet to be verified.
Due to the fact that most of the world's supply of acai berries are grown near the banks of the Amazon, supply is limited and therefore the cost of the fruit is high. One ounce of frozen acai pulp can cost between 50 cents and one dollar, or around 30 cents per pound higher than frozen blueberry pulp.
