Ingredient in focus РA̤ai Berry
Açai (pronounced in the manner of a Martial Artist running towards you with Nunchucks, AH-sci-EE) berries contain powerful anti-oxidants and have been used effectively in supplements for a couple of years now. When lab tested on Human blood cells the extract did brilliant housework on those ageing free radicals. This is not massively surprising as these bonnie berries contain the highest concentration of anti-oxidants of any fruit or vegetable tested to date (source).
Skincare companies such as DDF, Kiehl’s and Jergens Naturals have busied themselves bringing out ranges to harness these brilliant attributes, but so far there is as yet NO scientific evidence that topical application has any positive effects.
Until an independent study has been commissioned, stick to popping it in pill or liquid supplement form, when it comes down to it that is the best way to make sure every cell in your body is feeling the benefits anyway. alexia inge
