Pure Acai berry is popular among health food enthusiasts because it is high in many important vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, Omega-3 fatty acids, and anthocyanin. Anthocyanins are a class of phytochemicals found in red wine believed to contribute to the “French paradox”.

Acai has 33 times more anthocyanins than red wine.
