Acai Berry 100:1 Extract 200mg | 20,000mg QCE | Antioxidant Support

A 100:1 extract means 100g of raw dried acai berry is processed to produce 1g of concentrated extract. Each 200mg capsule therefore contains the concentrated equivalent of 20,000mg (20g) of raw acai berry, expressed as QCE (Quantity Crude Equivalent) the Health Canada standard for expressing concentrated herbal extract potency. A standard 200mg raw acai powder capsule contains only 200mg of berry. This formula delivers 100 times the equivalent in the same capsule size by concentrating the bioactive anthocyanin and polyphenol compounds.

Anthocyanins are water soluble flavonoid pigments responsible for the deep purple colour of acai berries and the primary antioxidant compounds in the fruit. They neutralize free radicals unstable molecules generated by normal metabolism, UV exposure, and environmental stressors that can damage cells, proteins, and DNA through oxidative stress. Acai berries have been measured to have among the highest oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) values of any fruit studied, with anthocyanins as the primary contributor to this activity.

Acai (Euterpe oleracea) is a palm fruit native to the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, naturally rich in anthocyanins and polyphenols the flavonoid pigments responsible for its deep purple colour and antioxidant activity. Acai berry extract is used for antioxidant support, helping protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

Acai berry's anthocyanins and polyphenols neutralize free radicals through hydrogen atom donation and electron transfer mechanisms, reducing oxidative stress in cells and tissues. The 100:1 concentrated extract delivers a high density of these antioxidant compounds per capsule compared to raw acai powder, providing consistent daily antioxidant support. Consistent daily use as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle supports ongoing cellular antioxidant defence.

Acai berry powder is made from freeze dried whole acai fruit it contains the full spectrum of fruit compounds at the natural concentration found in the raw berry. Acai berry extract (100:1) is produced by concentrating the active anthocyanin and polyphenol compounds from 100g of dried berry into 1g of extract, providing a significantly higher concentration of antioxidant compounds per capsule. Extract is preferred when a consistent, high-potency dose of acai's active antioxidant compounds is the goal.

Acai berries have been measured to have among the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values of any fruit studied significantly higher than blueberries, pomegranates, and cranberries on a per-gram basis. This is primarily due to their exceptionally high anthocyanin content. The 100:1 concentrated extract further amplifies this antioxidant density per capsule compared to raw fruit or powder.

Discontinue use if hypersensitivity or allergic reaction occurs known to occur with acai or plants of the Arecaceae (palm) family. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Individuals with known allergies to palm family plants should consult a healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children.
