    Modern day snake oil and a complete waste of money. The general rule is that if it is legally sold as a weight loss supplement it probably doesn't do *kitten*.

    So is eating blueberries.

    Please don't buy into supplements like these because you may be desperate to lose weight. Here's a REAL unbiased review on them:

    Acai is a great antioxidant which if you've been pumping your body full of junk for the last who knows how long it will help your body flush along with eating well & hydrating. It's about as powerful as eating blueberries or taking acidopholus, does the same thing basically. It's not a diet or magic pill. It won't make or help you lose weight. It will however help you providing you're helping it. If you eat clean (or relatively so), do strength training & cardio your body will thank you the right way & you'll reap the long term benefits.
