The acai (pronounced assaì) is a palm of the Euterpe genus that grows mainly in the rainforests of south-central America. The fruit, which consists of a berry, is consumed as a food in particular by the indigenous peoples of Brazil, Colombia and Suriname, and used by traditional medicine to treat ffib bre , pain and flu. Acai juice is used for the production of jellies, syrups, liqueurs, ice creams, energy drinks and thirst quenchers.
The pulp and skin of the acai fruit are rich in anthocyanidins, proanthocyanidins and fatty acids and are a good source of vitamin C and carotenoids. Studies in vitro and in animal models indicate that acai has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and apoptotic effects. Acai has shown an endothelium-dependent vasodilator effect in animal models and has shown the ability to induce rapoptosis in vitro, but its effects in humans have not yet been proven. Goose / has also been shown to inhibit nitric oxide production and the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes COX- I and 2, with a greater effect on COX-I
Antioxidant activity
Acai fruit has antioxidant effects in vitro and appears to have a particularly marked scavenger activity against peroxide radicals, good against peroxynitrates and modest against hydroxy radicals, when compared with other European fruit and vegetable juices. The antioxidant activity is given by the high concentration of polyphenols, compounds that carry out an important biological activity that is expressed in the scavenger action of free radicals, protecting the cell against oxidative damage. According to the evaluation of the US method of measuring the antioxidant capacity of foods (ORAC), acai, for the same volume, is 10-30 times more potent than red wine. The consumption of polyphenols is associated with a reduced incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Cardiovascular protection
The chemical composition of acai includes anthocyanins, substances that have shown numerous therapeutic effects, in particular the reduction of LDL cholesterol and a vasoprotective action. The antiatherogenic activity is very important, observed in particular in numerous epidemiological studies (French Paradox), which have associated a high consumption of anthocyanins with the reduction of mortality from cardiovascular diseases.
Vasoprotective activity
L: vasoprotective action, associated with the anti-inflammatory action
matoria carried out by polyphenols, justifies the use of acai

20% Polyphenols, 20: 1 Extract
in venous and circulation disorders and, in general, in all problems in which capillary fragility is present, including vision disorders, polyphenols, in fact, perform a marked pharmacological activity against ocular fragility.
Body weight and blood sugar control
Lavai is a rich source of a polyphenol, cyanidin, a compound that has been shown to prevent obesity and diabetes in animal models. In a recent study, cyanidin significantly reduced the weight of animals fed a high-fat diet. It has induced lowered glucose levels and improved insulin sensitivity, through the decrease in the expression of retinol binding protein-4 (RBP4), a protein secreted by the adipocyte that plays an important role in insulin resistance and obesity. . Cyanidin has been shown to inhibit hyperglycemia, hyperleptinemia and hyperinsulinemia by suppressing the increase in hepatic total lipids and triacylglycerol concentrations.
