Acai Berry Pure 400mg 150 Capsules - DISCONTINUED

Hello, there are no known side effects to taking Acai Berry Pure 500mg 120 Capsules - the capsules contain 100% Acai Berry Extract 500mg each capsule, and the rest of the ingredients (Rice Flour, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide & Vegetarian Friendly Capsules) are for the capsule itself. Our Acai is one of only ones that is manufactured in the UK in FDA/EPA registered labs.

You should be fine, yes. However, as with any supplements, when already taking a prescription medicine you should check with your GP. Thanks

Hi, as with any supplement if you are on any medication you should always check with your GP first. Thanks

Hi Leah - you should not take any supplements at all at your age. I am afraid there are no shortcuts and you have to start eating a good balanced diet and start exericising. When you do this I promise the fat will begin to go. You should speak to your parents about this if possible and talk to them about how you want to change. Maybe your diet at home is not great? Or maybe you are eating some things you shouldn't away from home? We don't know of course but at your age you need to talk to your mum or dad about this and get their support to change your lifestyle and diet to make these changes naturally and safely. You have got to believe in yourself - you CAN do this I promise - but you do need the support of your parent/s. Kindest Regards, Andrew - Peak Nutrition

You can yes but make sure you take plenty of water at the same time. Drinking lots of water throughout the day will REALLY help the products give you the best results. Kind regards

It doesn't really matter to be honest - just take with a small glass of water - that's what counts. Thanks

Our pure Acai Berry (no.1 seller in the UK!!) does not contain any product that is NOT suitable for vegetarians - there is no gelatine. Thanks

2 to 4 caps a day is normal. Many thanks

Please order online or over the phone and select CHEQUE/POSTAL ORDER as the payment option. You can then either send cash (use a recorded delivery method please) or go to your local post office and get a Postal Order made out to Peak Nutrition and send that - this is far more secure and is as good as cash and we will send the goods out immediately upon receipt. Kind regards

Hi, you would need to check with your healthcare professional before taking any supplement I'm afraid as, as usual, no specific tests have been done on nursing mothers of pregnant women. Many thanks

Hi, it all depends on where you live and how much you spend. Yes, we do take postal orders. The cost for 1 bottle delivered to UK is £21 - the cost for 2 bottles delivered is £40 but that includes a free Fat Analyser worth £10. The cost for 3 bottles delivered is £53 so it gets cheaper the more you buy. Thanks

Hi, may I suggest you read our article on losing weight effectively? It's all down to diet and how you split your carbs, proteins and fats, coupled with your existing body fat of course. We do have an offer with the Acai Berry that if you buy 2 you get a free fat analyser so that would help too!

We could not recommend anyone under the age of 18 use any of our supplements without discussing it with their doctor or parents first. Thanks

It is true BUT you still have to take in less calories than your body needs. To work out how many calories you need is not easy - it all depends on your build, fat percentage etc. There are many calorie calculators on the web that will help you with that but you really need to know your body fat percentage to get an accurate figure. Thanks

500mg in total. Thanks

No, though as with ANY supplement we suggest you are at least 16 unless medically advised otherwise. Thanks

Hi Acai Extreme is better for weight loss without a doubt. It's just that it has so many more ingredients in it to help with weight loss. However, it's a fairly new product so there is not as many customer reviews as yet.

Sorry no, my fault - I was getting mixed up with Inner Cleanse. The best way for Acai Berry is 2 in the morning with breakfast. If you wish to take an additional 2 a day then take with your evening meal. Many thanks

Best with water around breakfast time. Thanks

Hmm, tricky this one. I personally would say 4 tablets for the first month and then drop to 2 a day thereafter. Also, you have to watch the calories too of course - keep to what is the max allowed (or less). For fat loss you need to aim for 200 calories LESS than your maintenance requirement. So, if you require 1800 cals a day to maintain your current weight drop your daily intake to 1600 calories. Thanks

You can take with a normal food intake yes though normal should be the normal amount of calories required for someone of your gender, age and size. So, if you take in around 1500-1800 calories a day for a woman that should be fine. Of course, if you take with a proper balanced calorie controlled diet then the effects will be even better. Thanks

It is perfectly safe to take it just with water but it won't affect it if you take it after food.

You should be fine however as you are taking prescription medicine you should always check with your Dr before you take ANY supplement. Thanks

This product is manufactured in the UK I can assure you. The ingredients come from Brazil.

Hi, absolutely not, no. That is called auto-ship and not something we do. It is "popular" in the USA with some unscrupulous companies that actually keep sending you and charging you even though you cancel. We would never do that. We do offer a"reminder" service that is optional and is simply an email to remind you after a set period of time that you may wish to purchase again - but we never never never send goods unless you place an order with us. Finally, our Acai Berry is MADE IN THE UK, not China or Russia or somewhere else that is hard to control. Ours is made in UK labs to conform to UK standards. Hope all that helps! Thanks

Not our pure Acai Berry product, no. However, our Acai Extreme product does contain Chromium along with other great ingredients to make it a real Acai Burn beater! You can read more here:

Oh yes, no problem at all. Good combination! Thanks

Acai Extreme without a doubt is the best product for helping you with your goals. However, and this is important as we have to try and ensure everyone has the right expectations - you need to watch the diet whatever supplement you take and whatever exercise to partake in. I have lost 2.5 stone this year and I used diet, exercise AND supplements. I had help from an online personal trainer and he used to say to me "Remember, you can't outrun your mouth!!" - He normally said this to me as I said I would have that treat and make up for it with more exercise! So, losing weight begins in the kitchen. Also, what you eat and the 3 main food groups is also important.

It's 100% Acai Berry Extract. 500mg in each capsule. The rest of the ingredients are for the capsule itself. Our Acai is one of only ones that is manufactured in the UK in FDA/EPA registered labs.

This depends on the individual AND what you are eating and how much you are eating. You need to be eating 200 cals a day less than what you need to lose weight. Exercise is less important - it's more about what goes in to be honest. Take a look at our article here that give loads of information about how to work out your ideal calories per day and what you should be eating and how it should be split between the different food groups:
http://www.peak-nutrition.co.uk/news/article/129-how_to_lose_weight_properly

Thanks

Yes, totally!

Hi, Acai Berry just contains pure Acai Berry. It contains another couple of inactive ingredients that make up the capsule but that's it.

We also sell Acai Extreme which is a combination of Acai Berry, Guarana, Green Tea Extract, Acetyl L-Carnitine and Chromium Polynicotinate. As for whether it's suitable if you are a diabetic you would need to check with your GP.

However, our Pure Acai Berry does not contain anything like Acai Burn. If you are after an Acai Burn type product then I would suggest Acai Extreme instead. Thanks

You are fine to take together, yes. I would take in the AM and the PM. So, some around breakfast and some around evening meal time. Thanks

Hi, we are not aware of any reported side effects of using Acai Berry. However, as with all medical conditions you should always check with your Dr before taking any supplement to make sure. Thanks

Hi, it is so hard to say how long it will take to lose a stone and a half - it all depends on how heavy you are now, what kind of body fat % you have now and what kind of calories you are going to drop to coupled with the amount and type of exercise you intend to start doing. I have just lost 1 stone and it has taken me 7 weeks. I do strength training 3 times a week for an hour and I am on a 2000 calorie a day diet which I stick to - it's a high protein diet and I avoid carbs as much as possible on non-workout days. I am still losing weight and think that given another 4 weeks I will be down to my target 12 and a half stone. The strength training is really helping too but it is adding weight in the way of muscles so I am measuring my body fat every 2 weeks as well - down from 28% to 19% so far so very happy with that - I am a lot leaner than I was. And YES, I have been using Acai Berry too and I really feel it has helped with energy and fat burn. If you let me know more about you I can chat via email - having gone (going) through it too!!

Hi, no, not really - it is a great anti-oxidant and it has been reported that it can help metabolise fat better. To build lean muscle mass there is a host of products out there but, in my opinion, there is nothing better than a high protein diet to do this and supplements are good for post work out only. That's my personal opinion (been strength training for several weeks now and feel great!!). Cheers

Hi, we get asked this a lot. Acai Berry has been shown, in some studies, to help increase the break down of fat during the metabolic process. However, just taking Acai Berry (or any product) will not make the kilos just fall off - you still need to watch what you eat. Personally, I say it's easier to diet than exercise - after all - you can't 'outrun your mouth' - i.e. if you eat badly it doesn't matter how much exercise you do - you will still put on weight. So, watch the saturated fats and the sugars (sweets/chocs/simple carbs like white bread) and eat lots of vegetables! Usual stuff really - if you do this then the Acai Berry may well help to speed up the whole process. Obviously, you need to check with your Dr before starting any new diet or exercise regimen - we have to say that for legal reasons! Good luck.

Yes it is - except ours is better quality and made in the UK not China!

Acai Berry has been used for years for it's anti-aging properties. However, as for treating acne (if that's your problem) I don't really know - I can't say I've seen evidence to support this. Some people claim it has detox properties that can help with skin care but I have not seen proof of this. Thanks

Hi, if you are dieting properly AND doing all the running then I would say it is likely that you are putting on weight - muscle mass - which is good! You need to check your body fat percentage at a gym or with accurate scales - NOT your BMI - that is pretty useless figure in my opinion - but your body fat percentage. Also, if you are running 10 miles a day 6 days a week - that sounds excessive to me unless you are training for a half marathon! If you are doing that much exercise your really MUST ensure you are eating correctly - probably 5 or 6 times a day - properly balanced between good fats (non saturated), complex carbs (wholemeals/wholegrains) and lots of protein. I apologise in advance if I am 'teaching granny to suck eggs' so to speak but based on your exercise regime you have to ensure you eat sufficiently otherwise your body will simply eat muscle instead of fat AND do it's best to lay on fat as it goes into starvation mode! You may want to consider cutting down the cardio a bit and maybe doing light weights instead 2/3 times a week. However, ensure you eat regularly and often with a good balance and of high protein (fish, lean meats, dairy, nuts etc. etc) to ensure you give your body the building blocks to build muscle and burn fat. If you feed your muscles properly then your body will burn fat to provide the additional energy needed to keep up with all your exercise.

As for whether Acia Berry will help you or not - it's a good product, true and has helped many people. However, in your case, with all your exercise - 10 miles a day - wow! - I would look at what you eat - I have a feeling you may not be eating enough so your body is eating itself!!

If you wish to supplement your diet I would personally suggest CLA to help build lean muscle and maybe Flaxseed for extra protein.

You can find our CLA product here. Alternatively you may want to consider a combination of CLA and Green Tea - we have a great one here. Finally, for extra protein and fibre you can't go wrong with Flaxseed. If you don't want to add to meals yourself then you can take a supplement. Again, we have a strong 1000mg Flaxseed supplement here.

No it doesn't. However, do sell a really strong green tea extract - you can click here to see the Green Tea Extract product. We also have a Green Tea + CLA product that combines green tea with CLA - a great combination. You can see the Green Tea and CLA product here. We are thinking of doing a combination offer of the Acai Berry and Green Tea Extract soon though. Many thanks

You can certainly open them though I'm not too sure about the tea-making capabilities! However, you could certainly break them open and mix them with a yoghurt or juice for example. Kind regards

Hi, we are not allowed to comment once way or the other since you are taking a prescription medicine - all we can do is ask you to talk to your GP about this.

Hi, I think green tea is an excellent supplement to take, as well as Acai Berry, yes. Both are marvelous anti-oxidants.

Give them a go - if anything they may well help to be honest. Many users report decrease of gas/wind and a decrease in the bloating of the stomach that can cause discomfort. Some report that the anti-oxidant properties of Acai Berry also help remove the toxins associated with IBS too. Others report a reduction and relief of constipation too. It's a great product and no reason it's one of our best sellers to be honest! Thanks

Hi, the key to a losing weight is, yes - I know everyone hears this - is a good balanced diet and exercise. If you eat 1600 cals a day it actually sounds not enough to be honest. Of course it all depends on your basal metabolic rate, your height, build etc. However, 1600 cals a day sounds light as average for a woman is around 2000 cals a day. If you avoid saturated fats and watch the empty carbs (chocolate bars, white bread etc) then you should naturally lose weight. However, research suggests that you should eat a diet that is split quite evenly between good fats and amino acids, complex carbs (wholemeal bread/grains etc) and protein (fish/lean meat etc). If you can do exercise 3 or 4 times a week AND ensure you eat regularly throughout the day (e.g. breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, evening snack) your basal metabolic calorie consumption will increase. However, if you snack as well as eat 3 meals a day you must ensure you snack with foods like nuts (not salted/roasted) fruit, oats. If you do weights 3 times a week (light weights) for 20-30 minutes then increase your protein consumption too with more lean meats and fish and nuts and wholegrains. As for Acai Berry - some reports suggest an increase in the basal calorific consumption when taken. Personally I like the antioxidant effects of Acai Berry and how it's classed as a super food - it's just good for you! Good luck and let us know how you get on!

There is the 500mg of Acai Berry in each capsule and most of it is the Acai Berry. There is a tiny amount of fillers and the capsule itself of course. The capsules are vegetarian friendly gelatin too! Kind regards

If you are breastfeeding or pregnant please consult with your healthcare professional before taking any supplement of any kind - it is always best to be on the safe side. Thanks

There are none that we are aware of or that have been reported to us. Acai Berry has proven very effective and safe for all our customers. Kind regards

Hi, no our Acai Berry does not contain Green Tea though we have several products that do contain Green Tea including a pure Green Tea supplement and one that also contains CLA. As for any interaction between Warfarin and not - well, we are not aware of any interactions between the 2. However, as with all supplements, Acai Berry included, if you are taking prescription medicine or suffer from a medical condition you should check with your GP or health care professional before taking. Thanks

Hi, everyone reacts in different ways of course and some people being to feel the benefits very quickly - others take longer. I would say you need to give it at least a couple of weeks to be honest before the ACai Berry kicks in properly. However, on average, I would say 6 weeks before many people start seeing results with Acai Berry. Thanks

Hi, that is a very difficult question to answer so here goes!
The fatty acid ratio of Acai resembles that of olive oil, which is
thought to be a contributing factor to the low incidence of heart
disease in Mediterranean populations (1, 5),

60% Oleic (Omega 9) a monounsaturated, essential fatty acid, helps
lower LDL (harmful cholesterol) while maintaining HDL, (beneficial
cholesterol) levels (5).

12% Linoleic (Omega 6) a polyunsaturated, essential fatty acid, has
been found to lower both LDL and HL levels (5).

Fatty acids aid in the transport and absorption of fat-soluble
vitamins ice. Vitamins A, E, D, and K(3).

Acai contains valuable phytosterols

Sterols are components of plant cell membranes providing numerous
benefits to the human body, namely the reduction of blood plasma
cholesterol (5)

Sterols are currently being used to treat symptoms associated with BP.

Hi, as with any supplement, whether it be vitamin C or Acai Berry (it doesn't matter) we cannot suggest you take alongside a prescription drug without checking with your GP first. If you are suffering from any existing medical condition you should also seek medical advice before taking Acai Berry or any other herbal supplement or vitamin or mineral tablet. Sorry we can't be more specific but for legal reasons we are not allowed to!

We suggest a dosage of 2 to 4 capsules a day for our Acai Berry supplement. 2 is fine for most people but you can take upto 4 a day if you wish. Our Acai Berry is one of the strongest on the market ANd one of the cheapeast Acai Berry supplements in the UK. Our Acai Berry is also made in the UK too and many of the ones you find at the 'larger retailers' are actually made in China - I know where I'd rather purchase from!! Many thanks
