Acai is a small purple berry from the Brazilian Amazon which is widely regarded as one of the most nutritious and powerful foods on Earth – full of antioxidants, healthy omega fats, amino acids and dietary fibre. The NHS recommends eating 5 servings of fruit or vegetables every day. Two capsules of Rainforest Foods acai berry capsules are equivalent to a single serving and are a great way to supplement a healthy diet.
Why purchase acai berry capsules?
1) They're Organic
The debate over the relative merits of organic and non-organic foods is ongoing. However, there is widespread evidence that certain organic foods have a better nutritional profile than their non-organic counterparts. Specifically, more vitamins and minerals and less harmful substances such as pesticides and herbicides. Organic farming is also less harmful to the environment, resulting in improved biodiversity, reduced energy usage (approximately 27% less than non-organic) and less environmental pollution from herbicides and pesticides.
2) Soil Association Certification
Acai Berry Capsules are certified by the Soil Association. The certification process includes verifying where our organic products are sourced from, how they are processed, how they are packaged and the information on our labels and packaging. Through its stringent controls, the Soil Association is able to guarantee the organic integrity of the products that it certifies. This ensures that all Soil Association certified products are 100% organic. Rainforest Foods acai berry capsules are the first acai berry capsules to meet the demanding requirements of the Soil Association.
3) Quality of ingredients
Sambazon acai berry powder is one of the best sources of acai berry available and we only use Sambazon acai berry powder in our acai products. This is exactly the same acai berry powder that Sambazon sells under its own brand name and that they use in their own capsules. It is more expensive than other acai berry powders, but we believe the quality of their acai powder justifies this completely. Sambazon's acai berry powder is freeze dried. This offers the best nutritional preservation of all the processing methods.
4) Quality of manufacturing
We source our acai berry powder directly from Sambazon and then have the powder encapsulated in the UK by a leading pharmaceutical manufacturing company that is organically certified and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) registered. This GMP standard means that their facilities and procedures are regularly audited by an independent body to ensure the highest quality standards. The GMP registration is only awarded after a rigorous inspection by the Medicine & Health Care Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). The MHRA (www.mhra.gov.uk) is the government agency that is responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices work, and are acceptably safe.
