Over the last few weeks you can’t turn on a TV, read the Washington Post or even browse Twitter without hearing about the controversial little acai berry. Is it the real deal or is it all hype? I think the answer is not so black and white. First off, this is a hot new health product. People are buying all sorts of products that claim to help with weight loss and overall health. Now, research shows that their ARE proven health benefits of acai including destroying some type of cancer cells.  However, we’ve all seen the misleading sites that promise that consuming this berry, in some form, will be sole answer to all your weight loss problems. Gimme a break.

First off, let’s be clear – the only way you loose weight is if you expend more calories than you consume. That is usually accomplished through a combination of diet and exercise. Can we, as intelligent people, agree on that? That said, there are things that can aid in this process. One of our advertisers on the Advaliant Platform, Ultragreen Products, makes products that we believe to be the real deal. 

Since I’m just a snarky blogger, I thought I’d quote an actual scientist. Dr. Rene Reed, a member of the Ultragreen Products research team, says:

 ”Simply put, the Acai Berry is a superior anti-oxidant that helps to protect cells against damage from free-radicals. When someone is losing weight, fat oxidizes, releasing free-radicals that can severely damage the body. To maintain good health, anyone losing weight should ensure they are getting good quality anti-oxidants as part of their weight management program.”

Ultragreen has also released a video that outlines more of their research.

Do you have to believe what we’re saying just because I showed you a quote and a video from a company that sells acai products? Of course not. You have to be a responsible adult, have some accountability for your actions and do some research. Only then can you decide if you think that acai products will work for you.

I can tell you that as far as science, integrity and trust goes, Ultragreen Products are the real deal. If you’re a publisher on our platform, you can continue to market this product with the piece of mind and confidence that it doesn’t fall into the same bucket as some of the misleading products we’ve all been hearing about.
