This is the product that someone at the gym was telling me about. Loaded with vitamins is right. But can it do all these things? Googling brings up lots of opinions. Has anyone else tried this stuff? It does taste good though.

If you follow the nutrition fanbois, you'll see that they have a new "wonderfood" every coupla years.

What ever happened to royal jelly and bee pollen?

What ever happened to super blue-green spirolina?

What ever happened to grape seed extract?

Acai Berries are probably good for you for the very same reasons that other berries are good for you - color. As a rule of thumb, colorful foods have more nutrition than non-colorful foods.

But, is this stuff the absolute "nectar of the gods"? The track record seems to suggest otherwise.

So true. But it tastes good, a bit like prune juice on ice. Well it is packed with vitamins; don't have to buy a huge variety of fruits; so will try for month or so, and see if my energy etc increases :)

WHOA! It's also $45/btl. For $45, you can buy yourself some prune juice, a bag of ice, some lower-priced acai juice, plus some strawberries, blueberries and blackberries!

True. I am to get a free bottle, with one purchase. So maybe I will try. Wanna sell me some swamp property?
