Acai Scam 1 - Acai Content

The first scam related to acai berries to look out for is the concentration of Acai you actually get in the product you are buying.

As the popularity of acai has grown so have the quantity of products on the market, sadly these acai products are not all of top quality.

The main problem is in its pure form acai is genuinely beneficial but many of the acai products come with filler ingredients, these filler ingredients are supposedly added to boost the 'fat burning' or 'weight loss' effects of the product. In reality there is very little proof of this.

Some examples of filler ingredients can be green tea extract, caffeine, yerba and guarana. Now these ingredients do have health implications but there are a couple of issues here.

1/ There are far cheaper products on the market with these ingredients available seperately but the price of the product you get is higher because of the acai content.

2/ The products focus on acai and the miracle fat loss, detox and weight loss but in reality the dosage has been reduced to such an extent that these effects are greatly diminished.

3/ A lot of products list the ingredients but not the concentrations.


In short, 100% pure acai is all that will do.
