Açaí fights premature aging

Organic açaí is rich in polyphenols, especially anthocyanins, which have a high antioxidant power. They are, therefore, essential in combating the action of free radicals, responsible for premature aging and the appearance of degenerative diseases in the nervous system.

By having this antioxidant action, acai also contributes to an improvement in the appearance of the skin.

Açaí lowers cholesterol levels

PBecause it is rich in omega 6 and 9, açaí contributes to the reduction of bad cholesterol (LDL) and to an improvement of good cholesterol (HDL). Regular consumption of organic açaí reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Açaí berry controls blood pressure

The high concentration of anthocyanins, the substance that gives the purple pigmentation to the açaí, favors a kind of relaxation of the blood vessels. This is reflected in greater control over blood pressure, avoiding hypertension.
