I have been taking one to two capsules of Super ACAI-1200 (MaritzMayer Laborities) daily for over 6 months and have had no side effects at all. No cramps, dizziness, diarrhea, etc. I am 54 and go to the gym 5 days a week and find that it gives me loads of energy instead of burning out later in the day. I eat regularly (five to six meals spaced out through the day). I do not eat red meat as I find that it makes me feel bloated and lazy. I have not seen any weight loss (I am at my ideal weight) but my body fat % has dropped accordingly due to the cardio that I do. If anything, it has given me a lot more get up and go! I also find that my appetite has really increased (who doesn’t love to eat?) I also just recently had a full medical checkup and the doctor told me that I was in great shape. Am I an exception to all of the problems associated with the acai berry?

Look i hate to be a negative person but theres some things i have to say, when i was searching for information on this subject, and i still am. I came across al these articles by different people that tried this and they were all very simmilar it was as if some one wrote the article and then changed minor details to make several articles from the original and all of them had one thing in common they all used those colon clensers and it was this that led me to believe that there is more to this than meets the eye. I am a fan of those shows that investigate products to see if they are real or not and every colon clenser they used proved to do nothing or little at all they even had a colon doctor(sorry i can’t remember what they call them) run test on these and he admitted there just a waste of money. And the last thing i have to say we unfortunatly live in a world were everything has a negative side effect and a berry that lets you lose weight without exercising, increases your energy, enhances your metabolisim and gives you a better nights sleep must have one hell of a cost, i mean what kind of strain does this put on your body, the worst part is we won’t now until 5 to 20 years has passed and we can see what long term side effects appear

Hi, I started Acai approx 60 days ago. No side effects for first two weeks , then Stupid head aches . After third week i noticed increase in bowel movements , and (SHA) , next moderate diareha for a few days an now on toilet every 2 hours. Just started doing research and found Acai may be the cause. I have been taking 500 mg twice a day. I will stop for a while and may try 500 a day an see what happens. I have noticed a reduce in appetite but have not lost weight, Started taking for the improved circulation and benifits to the heart.

Started taking acai berry freeze dried for about 1 month with no side affects at all,Then started taking a stronger acai berry not freeze dried and again no side affects until recently,Found i was getting very tierd and had heart burn,stomach cramps and a gassy feeling,Still taking them and still getting the problems but its nothing i cant handle,Only continuing because i workout a lot and the acai berry helps you get ripped,Really started to notice my physique get better since taking them but will just have to put up with the side affects,i find i you drink a couple of pints of beer the gassy feeling goes away{believe it or not} Anyway creatine gives you the same side affects as acai berry,But i do recomend taking these if you workout,Take freeze dried acai berry if you dont want the side affects.

I just stopped using the Acai power berry cleanse I got at GNC due to side effects similar to what I’ve been seeing on this site. I used this product for a total of 6 days. The first couple of days were uneventful (no side effects and no trips to the bathroom at all). Around day three I noticed extreme dizziness, shaking and disorientation. It felt like I was having a panic attack. I tried to stick with it thinking there must be a benefit to this, but continued to have episodes like this for the next 4 days (still don’t feel quite right today after stopping yesterday). I did find the dizziness became even worse if I tried drinking a sip of anything with caffeine or when I tried having an alcoholic beverage with dinner one night. I guess this concept kind of makes sense, but not to the extreme I was feeling. It was terrible. I sometimes even felt worse after eating even though I made a real effort to eat even more healthy than usual through this process (I am normally a healthy eater anyway). The long and short of it…the side effects and experienceing even fewer bathroom trips than normal were not worth it for me.

This is due to the body getting rid of the toxins, sometimes the tongue turns a bit white and there is a metallic taste. Just means she’s cleansing a bit better than everyone else!

This is a great article. I’m never fond of ‘FREE’ stuff because there is always a catch. I’ve been contemplating trying acai for months now. I tried the Lemon diet/cleanse and it was great for the cleanse but I missed food so much and it made me feel so nauseous. So I think after reading this article and everyone’s review I’m going to try the acai pill from GNC just to cleanse not for weight loss. I believe that the only way to TRULY lose weight is to eat healthy, cut out refined sugars and junk food and exercise. I just recently changed my diet and do not eat out anymore. You won’t believe then change in my skin and softness and my attitude and my energy levels. I don’t eat greasy foods nor sugar loaded foods anymore. I don’t eat high sodium products nor anything canned. I eat a cucumber a day and it has helped keep me regular and really has improved my skin and I don’t have bags under my eyes anymore, nor acne. I have lost body weight and my BMI has lowered. I’m 28 and about 5′5, 158lbs and I feel great.

I have seizure disorder, I take prescription meds for that. Would Acai Berry interrupt with the controlled seizure activity? Is it safe for me?

hey! I am 18 years old and I weigh about 118 lbs. I go to the gym about once a week for about 3 hours and do cardio, and since I have school, its hard to go more, but i want to get a flat and toned stomach. Do you think it would be alright for me to try the Acai Berries? And if so, what kind? (juice,pills,etc). Thanks!
