Acai Berries

[Annkor26]

I started taking this as a supplement last week. I'ts pronounced "ah-sah-EE" and is from Brazil. What I'm wondering is whether anyone else on the board takes this and what kind of results you are getting.

The reason I'm asking is that I have Type 2 Diabetes and high blood pressure. My doctor has a penchant for prescribing expensive name brands from big pharma and I'm getting increasingly reluctant to take her advice. She changed a couple of the meds I take and I started this supplement about the same time. I feel way better, but is it the supplement or the new meds?

I have never heard of this berry but have you done a web search for it? It's possible that it has been imported and that you could grow it yourself......I have about 6-8 plants that are rare here in states so maybe if you look hard enough......

I've read a bit about it. It's from the Amazon area and is still pretty new, so it may not be available in plant form right now.

It's being called a "Superfood" because it apparently has just about everything in it. Antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, is an almost perfect protein, and some other thing similar to red grapes.

But I will look and see if plants are available!
