Analyzing Antioxidant Superstar Superfruits, Goji versus Acai.

Comparing Antioxidant Superstar Superfruits, Goji versus Acai.

This is an examination or comparison of the various superfruits on the market.
First let’s examine the Acai berry. It has become quite popular largely because of the health drink Monavie.
Acai is rated as one of the most potent antioxidant containing fruits in the world. Acai has 10 times the antioxidant level of grapes and twice that of blueberries. Acai also has up to 30 times the Anthocyanins of red wine. So it has quite an impressive resume. Check out Pure3x Designer Energy Drink with Acai

Acai’s ORAC has been rated as being fairly high, fresh acai berries (100 grams) have an excellent ORAC antioxidant score of about 5500.  But, freeze dried acai (100 grams) have moved off the chart, scoring at over 70,000.  These totals conclude you would need to eat 100 grams or about 3 1/2 ounces of fresh acai berries to get to 5500.  And eating 1 gram of freeze dried acai gives you an ORAC score of 700 per gram. Freeze dried is obviously very concentrated.

The amazing attributes of Acai include more energy, anti-aging, improved sleep and strong heart health, just to name a few.

Plus you have probably seen ads for Acai Berry weight loss products.
All the evidence points to these being a scam.  While we know of the value of the Acai berry as an antioxidant and in other health areas, we cannot find any research indicating drinking acai berry juice or using acai supplements will produce any kind of noticeable weight loss.

Next, let us turn to the benefits of the goji berry which, is absolutely abundant in healthful benefits.  Traditional Chinese Medicine herbalists make claims that goji is the most potent adaptogen available today, which means it enables the body to adapt to changes and stress.  A few of the commonly reported benefits of adaptogens include: increased and enhanced  sleep patterns, extra energy, clear mental thinking and focus.  Goji is also a valuable antioxidant and booster of the immune system.  The Asians speak of goji as an adaptogen with nothing but reverence.

The goji berry is often referred to as a tonic, which means that it helps to maintain tone in the vital organs. Some herbs are identified in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as liver tonics, and some as kidney tonics.  But the goji berry is held in such esteem that it is identified as a super-tonic, which means it aides in the balance and homeostasis of the entire body.
