Describe
Product description：
- Anthocyanins: Acai Berry Extract is rich in anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants. These compounds are responsible for the deep purple color of the acai berries and play a crucial role in neutralizing free radicals in the body. Free radicals can cause oxidative stress, which is linked to various health problems, including premature aging and chronic diseases.
- Polyphenols: In addition to anthocyanins, the extract contains a variety of polyphenol compounds. Polyphenols contribute to the overall antioxidant and anti - inflammatory properties of the extract. They have been associated with potential health benefits, such as reducing inflammation, improving heart health, and protecting against certain types of cancer.
- Omega Fatty Acids: Acai berries are a good source of omega - 3, omega - 6, and omega - 9 fatty acids. These healthy fats are important for maintaining the integrity of cell membranes, supporting brain function, and reducing inflammation in the body. The extract contains these essential fatty acids, which can be beneficial for overall health and well - being.
