Is the Acai berry
any good for IBS?

It looks like the new wonder-food on the block is the Acai berry.

Amazon Rain Forest

Pronounced ah-sigh-ee, Acai berries (or Acia / Akia) originate from the Amazon rain forest and are brimming with antioxidants and nutrients.

With 10 times the antioxidants of red grapes, and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine, manufacturers of Acia berries products are claiming some pretty substantial health benefits from these little fellows, including:

• Better energy

The list of benefits they provide is much longer and looks impressive, but I only have one question on my mind; Is the Acia berry any good for IBS?

My conclusion: Most probably yes.


Newcomer
As Acia berry products are relatively new on the market, specific IBS research information is fairly limited. However I did find several reports from people suffering from IBS-C that Acai berries had helped them considerably.

Despite there being limited 'independent' information out there, reading between the lines and looking at the scientific data, the Acia berry does certainly top the charts regarding antioxidant potency and the general agreement is that your health will benefit positively from taking the product.

Again, as with all natural supplements and remedies, the results of taking an Acai berry product will vary and affect different people in different ways, from no significant difference at all, to perhaps a full-blown life-changing cure?

So, What are Acia Berries?
Acia Berries are about the size of a grape and are a deep purple colour.

They are among the highest antioxidant fruits in the world and have about 10 times the antioxidant level of grapes and twice that of blueberries. There is a great explanation all about antioxidants on our friend's website (here). They are also packed full of amino acids and essential fatty acids. They taste like a mixture of berries and have a pleasant chocolate aftertaste.

The Acia berry is mainly seed. Only about 10% of it is actually usable.

1) As a puree pulp juice
this can be taken just like a cough mixture on a daily basis,

3) As a freeze dried powder
this can be eaten straight, made into a tea or sprinkled on food such as yogurt
