Acai Berry and Pregnancy
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 | acai supplement | 1 Comment
Ok. First things first. The usual disclaimer since acai and pregnancy can be a very delicate topic. Please know that whatever is on this article/website is written only for informational purposes. You are advised to consult your doctor for medical advice.
With that done and over with, here’s information regarding acai pregnancy concerns.
Are acai pills ok during pregnancy?
Acai pills are basically dietary supplements – a natural one at that. If you make sure you’re buying 100% acai capsules, it’s just like taking a very healthy fruit- which is what it really is.
When I was pregnant, I remember being told by my doctor to take folic acid (Vitamin B9) during the first three months (I didn’t know about acai yet at that time). And then multivitamin supplement afterwards.
Truth to the matter is, one of acai’s nutritious component is folic acid itself. So, you can see that the nutrients can be good for you.
There is a BIG BUT to this however.
Some acai pills are not exactly made only of acai. Depending on where you buy them from, they can also contain caffeine, maltodextrin, animal products and/or other . This is where the problem comes in. Many of the acai pills that claim to cleanse your colon or make you lose weight will very likely have some added ingredients in them. And that’s where you have to be very careful.
My advice is if you do buy acai while pregnant or breastfeeding choose a supplement that only has 100% acai.
Does Acai have any side effects while I’m trying to conceive?
As far as I know, there are no known side effects of taking acai.
Warning When You Purchase Acai Capsules – Even The Better Business Bureau Is Warning You Now
Monday, January 5th, 2009 | acai supplement | No Comments
I´ve made this statement over and over again. And in case some of you haven´t read it yet on this website, it´s something you need to know.
Be very careful when you buy acai capsules. Be a thousand times more careful when you buy them from companies who have free acai offers. Even the Better Business Bureau is now after these companies. More and more people have reported that they have been scammed out of their money by these free acai offers.
So how exactly does this scam operate?
This acai scam is about taking money from unknowing buyers. What most buyers don´t know is that there is a fine print in every one of these free offers. Once you give them your credit card number for the shipping and handling fees, you are also authorizing them to charge your credit card every month thereafter. For how much? Usually for $90 for a 30 capsule bottle!
And the list of customer complaints doesn´t stop there. Many have reported that when they found out about the devious way these companies operate, they immediately called them to say they didn´t want to purchase acai capsules any more. But guess what? This was very difficult to do. The telephone numbers they were given were sometimes non-existent or if they were correct, customer support doesn´t answer them at all. Some companies even provided the telephone number of a competition!
Because of these complaints, I strongly advice against these free acai berry offers. If you want to buy acai vitamins and other acai products, check out this list of reputable companies.
