The Perricone Promise & Acai Nutrition




Acai has been proven to be a natural superfood for health and weight loss properties. Dr. Perricone did not call it the world's # 1 super food for nothing. Studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acids.

ANTIOXIDANTS: are substances (i.e., vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients) known for their ability to counteract the oxidation process in the body. By helping maintain the integrity of your cells, antioxidants play an important role in supporting your good health.
PHYTONUTRIENTS: are naturally occurring plant nutrients found in vegetables and fruit. Especially desirable for their beneficial contribution to overall health, some studies suggest that phytonutrients help support a healthy immune system.

HEALTHY FATS: (monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and plant sterols) in the right amount are important for the role they play in supporting your body’s efforts to maintain a healthy heart and cardiovascular system. In addition to being a source of energy, fats are necessary or proper body function and help support the health of your hair and skin.

AMINO ACIDS: are the building blocks of protein. They can be linked together in a number of sequences to form a variety of proteins with unique functions in the body. Protein is vital to the formation of body tissue and cells.

VITAMINS AND MINERALS: are essential for your proper growth and development, and are required for certain metabolic reactions in the body.

COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES: play a number of important roles in the body, including the storage and transport of energy.
DIETARY FIBER: comes in two forms—soluble and insoluble; both forms have long been established as a significant boon to digestive system health.
