     Organic Acai, your way!
     What is the strength of organic products?

Acai - a berry, which grows in the Amazon rainforest, - became a sensational discovery in recent years. It is known that South American Indians use it to get rid of various health problems. For indigenous peoples of the Amazon, berries of acai palm tree make up almost half of the daily diet.

They are purple, have almost perfectly spherical shape and are slightly smaller than a grape. Acai palm tree produces two crops of berries a year, and their flavor is reminiscent mixture of red wine and chocolate.

Modern science has also begun a series of studies aimed at understanding the positive effects of acai on human health. It turned out that acai berries - it is a storehouse of vitamins. They contain large amounts of vitamins B1, B2 and niacin, vitamins C and E, as well as valuable minerals: iron, potassium, phosphorus, calcium. Acai berries also contain amino acids and essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6. They are characterized by a high content of protein and low sugar content.

The most outstanding features of this berry are its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential. Antioxidants are necessary for us in order to prevent the development of oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

Free radicals accumulate in the body as a result of smoking, stress, use of drugs, alcohol and chemically contaminated food; they can easily damage DNA, cell walls, important proteins and enzymes. They cause oxidation of lipid molecules in the cell membranes that provokes the development of various diseases including cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, type 2 diabetes, inflammatory diseases and mental abnormalities.

Antioxidants may prevent this process. Unfortunately, statistics show that most people do not eat enough fruits and vegetables, thus depriving themselves of one of the most important sources of antioxidants.

Acai berries contain very powerful antioxidants. Indicator ORAC, which determines the ability of absorption of free radicals, in acai is 15 times higher than in apples, and more than 10 times higher than in cranberries. Acai berries contain 30 times more antioxidants than red grapes, and 100 times more than green tea!

Acai contains several types of antioxidants. Dark purple color of berry is related to the presence of anthocyanins, which help to reduce high blood pressure and may reduce the risk of heart attack in women.

Ellagic acid contained in the berries can prevent degradation of collagen and inflammatory processes in the skin cells induced ultraviolet, which lead to wrinkling.

Acai also contains significant amounts of phytosterols, which help reduce cholesterol levels and prevent cancer.

Acai began its triumphal march around the world as a drug to help lose weight, and its merits in this area remain unsurpassed. Unfortunately, obesity is not already a problem only in developed countries. Now the poorer, developing countries are also faced with this. According to WHO, over the next 2 years, obesity becomes a problem of 1.5 billion people.

Obesity increases the risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, problems with the musculoskeletal system, hormonal disorders, infertility. Metabolic syndrome is a set of syndromes that include high levels of insulin, impaired glucose tolerance, high blood pressure, elevated levels of triglycerides and cholesterol.

Acai has a regulatory effect on blood sugar levels, which is the key to success with any diet for weight loss, as this helps to avoid sudden attacks of hunger. According to information received, in the use of acai within one month, levels of cholesterol and fats in the blood are reduced, so it can be successfully used in the fight against metabolic syndrome X.

Acai, thanks to its unique nutritional value, has a beneficial effect on the exterior, figure and beauty, supports cardiovascular, digestive and nervous systems, and also increases the body's resistance, normalizes energy metabolism and improves vision.

Longitudinal studies have confirmed the presence of other positive qualities of this berry. For example, it has a positive effect on the musculoskeletal system and reduces pain in the shoulders, hips and knees.

According to the results of a preliminary research, acai slows down the multiplication of leukemia cells. This berry can also be useful in the diagnosis. Thanks to the high content of paramagnetic ions (iron, manganese, copper), acai can be used as a contrast agent with MPT surveys.

Unfortunately, the acai berries are rapidly losing their nutritional value - it is preserved only within 24 hours after collecting the berries, so immediately after harvest berries are processed into juice, puree or powder. Liquid supplement Organic Acai saves the health improving power of this unique berry.

CaliVita Organic Acai is a new product that has recently appeared in our network. It contains 100% juice only the acai berries, not diluted by juices of other, cheaper fruits.

Berries are used in the manufacture of a dietary supplement "CaliVita Organic Acai", obtained from ecological farms and meet all the strict criteria of organic farming, which means the absence of any chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers or processing aids.

This makes them richer in nutrients, and also provides a natural exterior, flavor and an intense aroma.

Studies spent by researchers from the University of Newcastle (England), have shown that plants grown on organic farms, contain more of the vitamins and antioxidants needed to support the physiological functions of the body. In addition, organic products have a higher content of minerals, such as, for example, iron and zinc.

Scientists from the University of California found in tomatoes grown on eco-technology, a 2-fold higher content of flavonoids; and in organic cabbage - 30% more of vitamin C. As is well known, flavonoids, as well as vitamin C, reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Why is this happening? In organic farming, it is significantly reduced use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals to accelerate the growth and development of plants, so the ripening process takes longer, which means that the plant has time to accumulate in its cells more vitamins and minerals.

In addition, natural ways to grow the crop are saving the soil and are environmentally friendly.

Interest in organic food, in recent years, increasing, and few years ago, scientists have conducted research on the effect of the transition to organic products. Participants of the experiment indicated that they have decreased the number of health problems. And at the same time, researchers have found that in the blood of the subjects became more immune cells responsible for the state of anti-virus protection.

Scientists from New Zealand reported that college students, who for 3 years were fed exclusively on organic food, are less likely to sick colds and cough, and recovered faster; them less likely to have a sports injury, fewer problems with skin and teeth.

Another plus is the use of organic products - it is their effect on the composition of breast milk. When used in organic food, content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in breast milk increased, including omega-3 fats.

This is very important as ensuring the mother's body with sufficient fatty acids is necessary for the normal development of neurological and psychiatric sphere of the child, since the formation of the fetus, as well as the ability to coordinate, vision and immune system.

In addition to the organic products that are already on the list of CaliVita - Organic Noni and SambuRex, - the family of our organic products are now supplemented with - Organic Acai, rich in valuable nutrients that provide powerful antioxidant support for your entire family.
