Amazon Thunder açai is the originator of the world's purest açai berry products and, until recently, blueberries assumed the star role in many morning “smoothies” due to their great taste, high fiber content, and ability to battle disease and aging. Move over blueberries because Amazon Thunder açai is here! We are the producer of the world's most powerful açai berry formulas!

A recent import from Brazil, açai (ah-sigh-EE) berry is quickly taking over other fruits as the new superfood of choice. Açai berry is the fruit from a special palm tree that grows in the Amazon River rainforest and tastes like a cross between blueberries and chocolate. It has been a staple for the Amazonian Indians who have lived there for hundreds of years, and they call the tree that bears this small purple fruit “the Tree of Life.” The fruit contains a large pit, so it is necessary to crush the skins and puree them in order to extract the juice. This thick puree was traditionally used as a sauce to put over grains and fruit, or it was mixed with water and sugar to create an energetic beverage. Today, everyone from gourmet chefs to health food nuts are hooked on this luscious purple puree, and its availability is increasing rapidly.

Açai berry's health benefits are astounding, and scientists are touting the açai fruit's high level of proteins, fiber, vitamin E, minerals, and important essential fatty enzymes. Açai berry’s antioxidant concentration surpasses even that of blueberries, and it is also an important, natural cholesterol fighter. Additional studies on açai have also discovered that it strengthens the immune system, fights infection, protects the heart, and can control prostate enlargement.

All of this adds up to quite a few reasons why to incorporate this newfound superfood into your daily routine.
