[What is Acai berry]

The south American Acai palm(Euterpe oleracea)-known as the tree of life in Brazil-provides a small berry which is growing in fame, particularly following recent studies by well-known herbalists and naturopaths that have categorised it as a “superfood”. Acai berries are extremely rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. The acai berry is also famous for its capacity to support dieting, protect the skin, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and prevent the development of certain types of cancer.

[Function]

While there are many different berry and fruit juices on the market, Acai contains the most complete array of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. Acai contains Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin),

Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin C, Vitamin E (tocopherol), iron, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. It also contains the essential fatty acids Omega 6 and Omega 9, all the essential amino acids, and more protein than an average egg.

One of the best known fat burners available, raspberry ketone, is a natural substance that gives red raspberries their powerful aroma. Raspberry ketones cause the fat within cells to break down more effectively, helping the body burn fat faster. They also increase levels of adiponectin, a hormone that helps to regulate fat metabolism. Raising adiponectin levels helps people lose weight and lower the risk of many diseases like diabetes. The molecular structure of raspberry ketones is similar to the two well-known fat burning compounds, capsasin and synephrine.

Scientific studies have been performed to assess raspberry ketones as a weight loss aid in lab animals. Raspberry ketone supplements given to animals on a high-fat diet prevented the animals from gaining weight. The liver and visceral fat (“belly fat”) that surrounds organs was also less fatty, according to the paper published in the medical journal Life Sciences.

Another study showed raspberry ketones increased the breakdown of fat molecules within fat cells. The paper was published in the journal Planta Medica and reported that raspberry ketones stimulated fat cells to secrete more adiponectin (the fat regulating hormone).

Raspberry ketones cause changes in body fat and overall weight, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration categorizes raspberry ketones as safe to use. In extremely high doses, a side effect of raspberry ketones can be inflammation, heart palpitations, and shakiness. Raspberry ketones may also interact with medicines such as those that regulate heart rate, cholesterol, and hormones. They can also lower blood sugar levels, so people taking drugs for diabetes should be monitored closely when taking raspberry ketones.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states, “During the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States and rates remain high. More than one-third of U.S. adults and approximately 17% of children and adolescents aged 2—19 years are obese. CDC estimates 97 million Americans are dangerously overweight. The agency reports this is the second leading cause of preventable death following smoking.

As the health and wellness trend drives the U.S. food industry, savvy food scientists are looking to sweeten their products naturally with minimal caloric contribution. This is where Steviva Ingredients can help. Steviva offers a solution with Steviva Blend stevia sweetener.

Steviva Blend, is a low calorie blend of natural sweeteners for use as a drop in replacement for sucrose or table sugar. The basis of this blend is a proprietary mixture of FDA approved steviol glycosides that are optimized to reduce bitterness. Flavor purity is enhanced by our unique method of water extraction of these glycosides from the leaves of the South American plant, Stevia rebaudiana. To this residual free extract, Erysweet erythritol, a natural sugar alcohol produced by fermentation, is added to provide bulk to the blend, but more importantly, it rounds the sweetness profile with a slight cooling property. The temporal effect is similar to sucrose. Sweetness is clean and non-lingering. Texture is equivalent to standard particle sugar. Its color is bright white and naturally non-caking.
