decadent ingredients from around the globe. Here's just a
sampling...
Amazonian Acai Berries: The small, brilliantly purple berry of the famed Acai palm tree (native to the Amazonian rainforest) is bursting with essential fatty acids (Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9), vitamin C and polyphenols. Acai components have a beneficial effect on cell repair and regeneration, and lipid balance. Acai berries have been christened the #1 “super food” by Dr. Nicholas Perricone, and recent studies have revealed that acai berries possess 10x the antioxidant level of red grapes. If you’re searching for the most potent weapon in the antioxidant/anti—aging arsenal, look no further than acai.
