ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO USING THE ACAI BERRY?

Possible ‘side effects’ is one of the foremost concerns when considering to try a new diet, a new supplement or even a new lifestyle. It is just right to be extra critical when health is on the line.

Fortunately, as Acai berry is an all natural supplement, it does not have adverse side effects to one’s health. The following are more of manifestations of how acai berry really works rather than unwanted side effects.

1. There might be slight changes in bowel movement, usually more obvious with the intake of acai berry juice or fresh acai berries as it is a natural detoxifying agent. It aids in proper digestion and colon cleansing.
2. Weight loss is not always a desirable effect for everybody although most take acai berry to aid in losing weight. Since acai berry aids in digestion, the unwanted storage of fats is prevented. So if it’s not your aim to lose more weight, an increase in calorie intake must be added to the diet or acai berry must be taken purely as a supplement rather than a weight loss aid.
3. Acai berry has theobromine which has a stimulating effect. It boost energy levels and provides a revitalizing effect. Therefore, in the same way it’s not advisable to take a cup of coffee a few hours before sleeping, avoid taking acai berry before bedtime. If you don’t react well with stimulants like coffee and cola drinks, try not to take large doses as it might give you palpitations or might cause slight insomnia.

Acai berry does not have any contradictions with other medications and/or supplements. It can be safely integrated into one’s diet and be taken alongside existing vitamins. You don’t have to worry about Acai berry cancelling out or distorting the effects of necessary medication prescribed by your physician.

Acai berry is not a wonder drug because it is not a drug at all. It has not been pharmaceutically processed with unnatural components that pose harmful long term effects on the body as the human body is not built to process and totally get rid of artificial ingredients.

If you are worried about the minimal side effects of Acai berry, it is best to ask yourself the following questions so you will be guided on the proper dosage applicable to your concern:

1. Why am I taking acai berry? Is it primarily for weight loss?
2. Have I shown any intolerance or negative reactions to regular everyday stimulants like coffee and other berry juices?
3. What is a comfortable bowel movement schedule for me?

With the proper attitude and the right diet, Acai berry can do wonders for your health.
