Almost everybody has head of the acai berry.  It has become one of the most popular, yet controversial, health supplements in Australia and around the world.  Honestly, there are reasons that it is popular as well as reasons for controversy.  Stick with me and I will try to help you sort things out.

The acai berry comes from the rain forests of South America.  It grows on the acai palm and has been eaten by the local people for hundreds of years.  It has recently become popular after being featured in numerous weight loss books and on talk shows and news programs.

The main reason the acai berry is talked about is because of its high antioxidant content.  It has more than the blueberry and the pomegranate which have long been considered the king of antioxidants.  It also has healthy doses of dietary fiber and omega fatty acids.

The biggest controversy surrounding acai berries has to do with the weight loss supplements that are promoted on fake blogs.  You will see pictures of a person (usually woman) who claims to have lost a ton of weight using free trials of acai berry and colon cleanse products.

First of all, these sites are junk and you should stay away from them.  If a website lies to you, you shouldn't trust anything they have presented.

Second, free trials are not free.  You will be signed up for automatic shipments that are not free after your trial period ends.  You can cancel this at any time, but many people don't pay attention then get hit with surprise charges for supplements they didn't realize they ordered.

You can easily protect yourself by paying attention to what you are doing.  If you get a free trial, make sure you cancel if you don't want more.  If you don't want to worry about recurring shipments, just buy the supplements and skip the free trial.  Most companies would rather you just buy the supplements up front and offer you great deals like Buy 3 Get 2 Free.

Just pay attention to what you are doing and everything will be ok.  Don't let a few bad apples keep you from enjoying the benefits of acai berries.

If you are in Australia, you have access to most of the popular supplements.  Two of the most popular pure acai berry supplements are Amazon Thunder and Cloudnine.  Two of the most popular weight loss supplements with acai berry are Acai Burn (now called Acai Slim) and Acai Power Blast.  All of these supplements ship to Australia.
