 Please inform yourself before purchasing any "superfood" June 5, 2010
E.B. (Miami, Fl)
Please do a little research before you spend money on any products making weight loss and antioxidant claims.
Simple Wikipedia search:
Marketers of these (açaí berry-based)products make unfounded claims that açaí and its antioxidant qualities provide a variety of health benefits, none of which has scientific confirmation to date. Quackwatch noted that "açaí juice has only middling levels of antioxidants--less than that of Concord grape, blueberry, and black cherry juices, but more than cranberry, orange, and apple juices."
Other than perhaps the placebo effect açaí is as beneficial as pears, to name a fruit.

You probably already know the benefits of the Acai fruit. They are definitely available in this product. I mix mine with yogurt and honey every morning. I have more energy and lower blood pressure. The only negative to this particular product is the packaging. The ziploc bag doesn't last very long so I ended up putting a clip on it to keep it closed.

I don't know if I;m losing weight because of the product or my daily exercise...anyhow I will recommend it, since I use it mostly as a shake during the night...by the way I need to mix it with bananas and some other fruits to avoid the natural awful taste

I would like to ask the other customers who are subscribing if they find problems getting their products on time.
After we complained about the amount of Acai Powder being underweight. Indeed it weighed slightly over 4lbs, the problem was corrected, but then that was the last shipping we got. You all out there might want to really find out if you are indeed getting your 8lbs of the product. Navitas Naturals Organic Acai Powder Amazon Superfruit, 8 Ounce Pouch
 Beware many reports of toxic effects from Navitas October 9, 2009

Confirmed Goji Berry causing severe nausia cramping and intestinal pain.
I was introduced to goji berries during the summer as a friend I met had just opened a raw food cafe. His food NEVER (I mean never) gave me any problems it was all delicious and much of it was cacao and goji berries. He has very selective about his sources and does not trust many companies out there.(His Goji comes from Sunfood)
When I returned home from Alaska I decided to try more superfoods and bought a trail mix by Navitas that was Goji, Cacao Nibs, and Cashews. That day I had a green shake for breakfast and a banana for a snack then just a pinch of Goji Berries afterwards. Within the hour I was writhing in pain and couldn't imagine what it was.
This pain is severe. I wanted to die. It lasted about twelve hours. Including vomiting and diarrhea
Next day I had a big green salad for lunch and then feeling better grabbed another SMALL pinch of goji and within 20 minutes I was in the exact same pain. I knew then it was the goji and instantly typed "goji stomach ache" into google and found threads verifying it.
I called my friend and told him about my reaction and he asked me if it was Navitas. I didn't recall and didn't have the bag on me but he said he bet 100% it was them. He had similar reaction to their product and did hydrogen peroxide tests and found them to be rancid. Got home and verified his assertion.
Again, I never had this problem before eating Goji from Sunfood, but this Navitas is killing me.
BEWARE: Detox can be painful enough even on a quality Goji berry. You should start with very small amounts and I would recommend trying alternate brands NOT navitas.
