Featured Claims

The Acai team has discovered that ACAI BERRY CLEANS claims to harness the antioxidant powers of açai to get rid of excess waste and toxic buildup from the colon.

Specifically, this formulation may claim to promote the following benefits:
-Loss Weight Fast and in a safe way.
-Boost your Energy Levels.
-Eliminate Constipation.
-Improve your memory and mental focus.

Ingredient Claims

ACAI BURN does not disclose the details of their pills, all they know and claim is that açai berries (ultra-rich in antioxidants, vitamins and Omega-3 fatty acids) are among the world’s most nutritious foods. Even though the University of Florida studies suggest that açai berries may trigger the self-destruction of leukemia cells tested in vitro, there is no clinical proof that acai can cleanse the body of waste.

Website Claims

Why ACAI BERRY (CLEANSE) is the most recommend product to loss weight and feel young. Acai Berry come from rain forest of Brazil. It was presented for Oprah and Rachel Ray. The Doctor Nicholas Perricone call Acai Berry the Super food because you not only going to loss weight you are going to get your body detoxify, because acai berry has more antioxidant than any other plant of the world.Lifestyle Claims

Quotes from such elite media sources as ABC, CNN and CBS reiterate the powerful healing properties of this remarkable rainforest fruit. Angelie Joe and Brad Pitts are pictured on the site as if they are endorsers of the product. We doubt that they specially endorse this specific however. We’d like to see it in writing.

Pros

Cons

ACAI BERRY CLEANSE invites first-time users to try the product free of charge for 2 weeks, plus $4.95 for shipping and handling. That sounds great but there is a BIG CATCH to this “FREE” offer. By ordering your free trial of ACAI Super Cleanse, you agree to the terms of service, which require cancellation within seven days in order to avoid a monthly charge of $120.00 to your credit card. You will incur an additional monthly charge $49.95 20 days after your order and every 30th day thereafter until you cancel!

In addition to providing açai’s known health benefits, this particular product claims, without proof, to turn back the clock on years of poor eating habits by flushing excess waste from your colon to alleviate bloating and constipation, and may even reduce the risk of colon cancer.

Furthermore, by signing up for this offer, you automatically enroll in a 14 day trial of Acai Burn. Failure to cancel the Power Burn subscription will result in an additional charge of $120.00 15 days after the trial begins, and again every month thereafter. What happened to “FREE”?

Buyer Beware!

Always check the Terms of Service carefully (see below) on any website for a detailed explanation of their privacy policy, terms of sevice and cancellation policy. You may discover that some acai berry pill companies may actually sell your personal and credit card information to other companies!
