Acai berry

[flagdaytwins]

Does anyone else take Acai supplements? Dr. Oz, on Oprah, recommended the Acai berry -- highest form of omega 3 and I think fiber known to man. It comes in pill form and can be found at Wal-Mart.

I have been sleeping like a rock -- and I just discovered that could be one of the (awesome!) side effects. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this!

My SIL's salon is selling a drink with acai berries. It was expensive at 27$ a bottle but they tell you only to drink a small amount at one time. She has been trying it so I will have to ask her how she is sleeping and I will get back to you. She said it's supposed to help you lose weight.

Would love to hear more reports. I can't seem to sleep through the night lately. I wake up every two hours or so Needless to say, I'm getting grumpy

Been looking for some kinda solution other than buying a bottle of Nyquil

I don't know about the sleeping, but I do know in the morning after having a shot I felt much more alert and awake through the day. I would not be sleepy in the afternoon either. I like the taste of the bottled stuff.

Ohh, I think I need to get me some of this Acai berry stuff. Where do you all get it? I think I might have seen some at Costco????

My sister used it for a while and it raised her blood sugar quite a bit, her MD told her not to use it, she tried to give me the bottle and I declined. Her friend sold the stuff, it was kind of one of the pryamid things (like Amway) I think, they tried to talk her into selling it right away.

This old lady going through menopause hasn't slept good in over 4 years. I am going right now to Sam's Club. I know that tylenol pm everyday can't be good for me!!

MonaVie is a direct sales product and you have to buy it through a consulant. People swear by it and it sounds like a great product. I want to try it for a month but the cost of $100+/month has kept me away. We don't have that in our budget. I've tried it and liked the taste, it was a little bit tart and it's kind of "chewy" but I liked it. The consultant told me some people don't care for it until they mix it with a juice or something.

They have a website, monavie.com. You can find out more info there.

Is there anyway besides direct sales where you can find Acai Berry that works as good as monavie? I don't want to spend too much money if it doesn't work.

Just got back from Sam's Club and Costco and really didn't come up with anything other than one drink at Sam's. BUT, acai was in the middle of the list of ingredients. Wasn't sure if that product had enough acai berry.

I would prefer getting through a store rather than a "dealer" of sorts. Guess I will try Whole Foods before deciding what to do.

Besides the price - any side effects?

My godmother's boss got her into this product. Despite taking it daily, she's had the flu and a few colds so far this year. Don't waste your money.

It would be a nice little extra to all tnhe other benefits

 

[Twende]

My son and DH swear by MonaVie.

We are looking into selling it also!

I tried the acai berry drink from GNC. It was the most horrible stuff I ever tasted. we all bought it at work since it was cheeper then Mona Vi. anyhow it didnt really do anything for me or anyone else for that matter.
but ambien does..

Is this the same as the MonaVie?

 

[rparmfamily]

Isn't monavie the one where you try to get everyone to sign up and there's something in it for you?

I buy this:http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=4951 online, and it's delicious. I have a couple oz in a glass of sparkling water almost every day. I haven't noticed any difference in my sleep but I didn't get sick this year when everybody else did. You don't have to join a club to buy it and it tastes really good. It's probably not a miracle, but I like it and I remember to use it unlike all these vitamins I have sitting around.
