Supermarkets and Health Food Stores:
Unless you live near the Amazon it’s unlikely you are going to be able to buy Acai berries directly. The berry does not hold up well to transport, so it is most often sold as Acai pulp, Acai juice, or Acai berry supplements. Most Whole Foods stores carry Genesis brand Acai Juice, which is ok, but at $40 for a bottle of the Juice is really expensive. They also sometimes have the Sambazon frozen Acai pulp, which is a good product. But the Sambazon “acai” juice is mostly Apple and some other juices, and doesn’t even taste good. So far, all other products found in supermarkets and health food stores are overprocessed, watered down juices or low quality (heat processed) pills and powders.
Online Stores:
AcaiBerrySite is the BBB Certified Official store and the best place to order such Acai Berry products online. They are one of the very few online sellers you can trust (read about the Acai Scams below). Acaiberrysite stocks Acai Zone, Amazon Thunder, Sambazon and all the top quality brands of Acai Products at the lowest prices we have been able to find.
Pills, Powders, Juice, or ???
Whether you are interested in the acai berry diet, or just for overall health, my favorite way get all the benefits of Acai is through the Acai Puree , which has more of the Omega fats and fiber and I think tastes great. Acai Juice is the second best as far as benefits. But for those on the go like myself a pill (or capsule) is the quick and easy way to take acai.
Some things to consider:
- Is the product FREEZE-DRIED Acai? Acai has become so popular that many companies are pumping out products that are very low in quality. It is very important that the berries are freeze-dried. Other processes use heat to remove the water, which destroys the antioxidants and other nutritional benefits. For more info on processing the acai berries
- Is the main ingredient actually Acai? Many products only contain a small amount of Acai, but claim to be “Acai juice”. While most Acai drinks will contain other fruits in the mixture, you must make sure that the main ingredient is actually Acai. If you’re not careful you could end up buying an overpriced bottle of grape juice. For more info on finding a quality Acai Juice.
When a product gets as popular as Acai has, you need to be careful that you don’t get ripped off, like the Acai Berry Scams mentioned above. This is why I suggest buying acai from trusted vendors like Acaiberrysite.com. The other suppliers of top quality Acai products are Acai Roots and Sambazon, although you will pay more and their product line is not as complete.
For Acai powders, pills, or capsules, it is very important to look for 100% freeze-dried Acai ONLY. For Acai Juice, it’s a little more tricky. You want as high a concentration of the acai berries in the finished product. But even some of the top suppliers of Acai products mix their Acai with other juices.

if i was to use this supplement and exercice 4 times a week how much weight could i possibly lose in 6 weeks?
Keisha,
Acai will not force weight loss, and will not magically allow you to lose more weight than you would otherwise. It does make it easier to lose weight.
Most experts believe it is safe to lose no more than 2 pounds per week. More than that and it is just water weight of muscle.
I got by bottle yesterday of acai berry detox and on the back it says that its got green tea extract, acai berry (equivalent to 500mg from extract) caffeine anhydrous……..reading on the internet it says the best results come from the pure 100 per cent acai berry……..i am currently using my acai berry detox with life cleanse taking 2 pills a day….but i am worried that because my bottle does not state anything of 100 per cent i am in for a slow ride…….will these two bottles still give me good resuts? has any1 tried these bottles? i know results vary but from approx when did u start seeing results ? (weight loss) ? thanks…steve u seem really helpful
Mike,
100% pure acai berry is usually a freeze-dried, quality product and retains most of the nutritious properties. Other methods of processing will destroy much of the nutrition. So, the pure, freeze-dried acai berry is better for you IMO.
Adding green tea, caffeine, and other ingredients MAY help with fat burning and hunger suppressing. But is probably not as “healthy” over the long term.
And be aware that often those products that have added ingredients for fat burning and detox often start off with Acai that IS NOT FREEZE-DRIED. This is done to save cost. So you are getting something made for fat burning, but has little benefit from the Acai itself and is really a cheap imitation.
Is kinda confusing, but hope that helps.
can u take acai berry when breasfeeding
and does it really helps you loose weight?
Saundra – according to everything I’ve read, a 100% pure Acai berry product is nothing more than a very nutritious fruit, and has virtually NO side effects, so is safe for pregnant women.
I would stay away from anything that has added ingredients, which are often added to increase fat burning, but may not be safe for you.
Hey there, I am very interested in the Acai Berries. I am an art student and works a lot to pay my tuition and living fees. I do not need to lose a lot of weight since everyone says I am average. What I need a lot is energy to work, study and playing sports. I could not play sports as much I would like to because of the part times that wore me out. Will Acai berries give me more energy since everyone is just talking about weight loss.
Notime – Yes, increased energy is one of the benefits that people talk about with Acai. Check out this page that talks about it.
