Default ACAI ?????

Anyone takes this ?, what sort, what have you found from taking it ?
I started taking it some 3 weeks ago, after speaking to a freind, and purely from the effects that have been seen in me by others, 6 other people are now on it.
I have found 90% of my joint arthritis joint pain has gone, my weight has gone down a lot,(I do have surplus adipose tissue), I am calmer, more easy going, more relaxed, my dry skin condition has vanished 100%, despite having it 20+ years, ALL my chest pains have gone, performance in the gym has gone up, recovery time is about 1/3 of what it was, but the biggest thing is my breathing is MUCH slower and MUCH shallower, joint mobility has improved beyond all recognition.
I take 20ml pure concentrate each morning, drink ACAI juice, from waitrose, haven't found it anywhere else, and take triple strength tabs 2 a day, 3000MG in total.
My mum has MS, and since started on just the juice, one glass a day has no more constipation(a result of the mdeication), sleeps much better, and is feeling much better.
A army mate, a captain who fears the bft(basic fitness test) each year due to dodgy knees has seen knees improve massively, another has lost their tremors they used to suffer from for the last 5 years, DR's could do nothing as did not know why it was happening, a host of other health benefits too.
I write this, in the hope it will help someone, nothing to lose by giving it a go, much to gain, , it is not advised for under 18's, after speaking to a retired surgeon commander(Navy) who is now head of a hosp AE dept, says there is no reason why it can't be taken by under 18's, if it is the pure sort, a lot of crap ones contain caffiene.
ACAI is a berry that grows only in the area around the amazon in brazilian rainforests, much planting of this bush is now being done.
Available mail order, ebay Holland & Barret etc.
Sorry it's long winded, but it is worth it.

I'm also very sceptical, and have tried loads of stuff, none of which did much, apart from ACAI and ephydrine hydrochloride, but that had many many bad side effects.
I have nothing to gain by writing about stuff that doesn't or hasn't worked for me, which is why until I found something that did work for me excellently did I write.
I would assume that if it did not work for someone, then they must have been pretty good health wise to start with, my diet was crap, is now excellnet, I just don't want crap anymore, and this is not anything consciously that I have tried to do, it's just happened.
Not for one minute saying it's for everyone, was for me, but gf found no benefit from it, it also makes you poo twice the amount each time you go, I have noticed.
The first lot I got contained caffiene, so got a better lot afterwards, another one dubbed "super food" is MACQUI, the heading super food has been used by the medical profession, who are more sceptical than most, but every blind trial has had massive success, there has to date been not one single case of any negative efect, it is only a NATURAL FRUIT after all, animals eat it also.

Well any fruit that you put into your diet if its as bad as yours sounded is probably a good thing.

I suspect if you swapped the ACAI for apple juice and changed the rest of your diet the same as you have you would have seen the same effects, so its more an indirect effect than a direct one by the sounds of it, but im sure you couldnt give a fuck either way providing what you are doing is working for you

AS you say chip it works for me, I did try diet chages etc, stuck right to them, also did gym 2 hrs day 5 days week, just couldn't shift it.
The beauty of this stuff is there is no effort, other than the gym.

It's been known about for years, and has been used for years by some.
The only advice I can give is get some that is freeze dried, and made up of mainly pure ACAI, ie not with certain other bits added esp caffeine is a fave thing to add, there will be other bits but this can't be avoided as the capsule is made of somethin to start with.
The cheapest best most convenient place I found is Holland & Barret, I use,
ACAI 1500mg, has triple strength on a yellow banner on top edge of label, is a green bottle, showing what looks like blackberries on the front, 120 tablets in these.
I also take ACAI superfruitjuice, again from same shop but made by Ransom, a red colour bottle, it is made up from Red Grape, Lycopene, Resveratrol.
Acai and the other things listed are anti oxidants, they get rid of all the poisenous things entering the body, or try to anyway, they must have amazing fat burning properties as the blind test done with 500 people, no one knew which they were on, all were picked at random, but after 2 years the people on acai showed a 98% success rate ranging from mild to amazing improvement, the people were all ages(16+) all types of health.
I tried it on recommendation from a friend, who like myself used to take blue dianabol(anabolic steroid), did wonders for him.
I think the worse you are health wise the more you will potentially gain, as have more that can be gained.
The acai superfruitjuice cost Ł7.95 a bottle which lasts for 3 weeks, on it's own don't know how succesful as I take the tablets as well.
My sas dr tells me there was a big feature on it a few months back in some mdeical journal, and he's giving it a try, as he's not that healthy now, but had a hard life!!

I totally agree, apparently it is due to the speed at which it degrades after picking.

Hi,
I felt benefit/differences the next day, I was practising shitting like it was a olympic sport, and I was no1!!
Had a few tummy niggles for around 3-4 days, but best benefit was after about 48 hrs, when I stopped feeling hungry all the time, but masses of energy had the 3 o'clock blue before this, repeated blood tests showed nothing untoward.
I use ACAI 1500MG tabs, two a day, with 20ml of ACAI super fruit juice from H&B.
I would gladly pay twice the price due to the benefits I've noticed myself.
Very important do make sure you eat, don't skimp.
My mum now has me get ACAI drink from Waitrose, and swears by it, at least 6-7 people have started on this since I have and only one reports no effect positive or otherwise, but she's very fit anyway, as a workout freak, has ace diet etc etc, all others reported benefits such that they are encouraging others, and still continue to take themselves.
