Acai Berry Supplement: Scam or Not a Scam?

top-acai-berryThe Acai Berry supplements has been featured on some of the top talk shows on the television. Shows like Oprah, Rachel Ray along with a number of big profile celebrities have endorsed this wonderful fruit form the Amazon Rain Forest. So does this little purple fruit really work or is it just one of the biggest scams out there today? Yes and no is the correct answer to that question. Let me try to be a little clearer on that.


First these acai berry supplements do work. They can aid in helping us to lose weight, help our blood circulation, increase the libido, and a myriad of other health benefits of acai berry.  So the scam part does not have to do with the acai berry itself. I myself, have been taking it for a year and a half and love the stuff. I have seen many of the health benefits with it. The problem comes from unscrupulous companies that suck a person in to a monthly subscription that is ridiculously hard to get out of.


Not very many of the companies that sell acai berry supplements do this but then it only takes a couple of Read the rest of this entry »

The Best Acai Berry to Buy For the Money

By Becky Kay

best-acai-berry-to-buyWith the rise in popularity of the acai berry comes a rise in the demand of the product produced by many new up and coming companies. However, since the acai berry is only found in the Amazon Rain Forest it tends to be rather costly for a months supply. So what is the best acai berry to buy that won’t break the bank?

Well, for starters the price range for acai products will range for $19.95 on up to over $100 just for a months supply. Now we also need to remember that we get what we pay for. Many times the least expensive is also the most poorly made and we need to be careful with it. However, many times the most expensive is just trying to capitalize on the new fad diet scheme. Some of the more expensive acai products are also tied in to multi-level-marketing companies who also charge more so that they can pay their representatives. Sometimes, if not always, the MLM companies are really selling the profit making aspect rather than the product itself. Of course they have to be careful because the law says they must sell the product not the opportunity. Understand that more expensive is not always better but less expensive is not always the best acai berry to buy either.

I started out taking a MLM product and I really liked what the product did for me so I wanted to continue to take acai berry I just did not want to keep spending that much money just to line someone else’s pocket. Therefore, I started searching for a mid-range product that would give me the same benefit and one that I could auto ship so I did not have to renew every month. After all I knew that I would be taking it daily and would need the supplement.

The product I found was priced fairly and I could get it shipped monthly. My next step was to make sure that there were no complaints on the product itself or the company. I could find none and I have to say if there are complaints you can usually find them on the net. So my final decision would be on how easy would it be to stop the auto ship should I decide to stop it.  This would be my deciding factor. What I found was very pleasing. I simply purchased my product using PayPal’s subscription payment plan. This would allow me to go into my PayPal account and stop the subscription whenever I wanted to do so. No mess no fuss.

I decided that Acai Berry Select was the best acai berry to buy and I am pretty happy with my choice.
