The Amazon reveals one of its secrets. The acai is the Brazilian wonder fruit with an 'off the scale' antioxidant level.  Packed full of minerals, oils and nutrients, this berry, when combined with Resveratrol is the strongest supplement of this range on the market. Only Biotivia protects the fruit from oxidation by a patented Active Packaging system and by adding Green Tea Extract.

The Acai palm has been used by the Riebeirihnos, the Amazons ‘river dwellers', for hundreds of years to alleviate pains. In fact it has been the key ingredient in many of their herbal remedies and native medicines.

Acai is cultivated deep within the forests and always no further than 25ft (8 metres) away from the river banks. This is because the tidal water feeds the Acai plant twice a day with rich minerals and other nutrients from the mighty Amazon.

The berry itself is mainly seed, but the 10% which is pulp has been found to contain a huge amount of protein, fibre, vitamin A, calcium and iron. The Acai berry also has a great amount of antioxidant power.

An astounding fact regarding Acai relates to Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, or ORAC value. This is the method of measuring levels of anti-oxidants in foods to determine the nutritional benefits. Recently a study proved that Acai has an ORAC score five times more than another famous superfood: the blueberry.

The ‘Dark Drupe', as Acai has been dubbed, has to be processed within 24 hours of picking as it quickly loses its health benefits and nutritional properties. This is done by freeze drying the fruit into a powder, which 'locks in' the nutritional properties and health promoting lipid oils. Once the powder is made into a supplement it must be protected from oxidation. Otherwise the shelf life in measured in weeks.

Biotivia solved this challenge by use of a patented oxygen scavenging system which captures the oxygen which enters the bottle when a capsule is retrieved.
