Acai berry has achieved phenomenal success; it's an internet sensation, a supreme example of marketing over substance. It is a berry from Brazil and it provides a huge portion of the local population's diet. On a totally unfounded pretext it is now extremely heavily marketed on the internet. Unfortunately it does not provide massive weight loss; it's just a fruit and that is it. Yes it's good for you because it has a host of natural ingredients but massive weight loss will not follow.
Many of the large manufacturers and marketers are now being taken to task by several agencies, including the Attorney General in Connecticut for making false claims and bad marketing practice.
Several large companies have been using fake blog sites to get people to sign up for free trials. Sounds good until you find out that they first take your credit card number to pay for postage and packing and then you are automatically sent more berry product on a recurring basis until you cancel. Complaints include being unable to cancel quickly if at all, and the free trial not arriving until just before the first real payment being taken.
You don't get something for nothing, never have, never will. The problem is we believe that pills will solve all our ills. Headache pills, cold remedies, pharmaceutical cures for almost anything so why not a pill for weight loss. So again and again and again new super supplements appear in the form of pills, juices, teas and again and again people buy them.
No matter what the wonder supplement, if you really are determined to try it, keep your credit card in your pocket until you have done some research. Go to authoritative sites, look for scientific tests, and ask people like biochemists or medical herbalists for their expert advice. Save yourself a lot of money as the chances are that your credit card will stay in your pocket.
And just as a side note, every proper, single test so far done on any weight loss product has involved participants going on a diet and exercising.
So that's it. If you want to add anti-oxidants and eat an extract that is good for you by all means purchase acai berry. Or you could just buy fruit, berries and vegetables from your local grocer and save yourself a shed load of money.
