The acai berry is a fruit like an orange or blueberry and contains allergens caused by pollen.  Acai Berry can be harmful to a person who has food allergies who may experience an allergic reaction.

Acai berries grow wild in trees in the Amazon and the natives harvest the berry and have been enjoying the health benefits of the acai berry for hundreds of years.  A large portion of their diet is acai berries, approximately 40%.  Acai may not be safe for everyone, but no more dangerous than any other fruit.

If someone has pollen allergies or known hypersensitivity to fruit or similar berries they should contact their doctor prior to taken an acai berry supplement.  A major area of concern with acai supplements is the quality and type of processing of the acai berries.  Many supplement companies add fillers, maltodextrin, caffeine, artificial coloring which can cause side effects.  Be sure to research your acai supplement before you purchase.  The first step in researching an acai supplement is to see what is listed on the Supplement Facts on the label.

The best acai for you and your body is a pure freeze dried organic acai berry.  Pure acai supplements like Perfect Acai may help as a powerful anti-inflammatory, increase energy and increase your immune system.
