Acai Burn Overview
The whole tone of the very lengthy Acai Burn website is over-the-top and exaggerated. The first statement made on the site is actually a warning – it cautions users that its product is not for those who simply want to lose a ‘few measly pounds’. The site goes on to say that Acai Burn is Hollywood’s hottest diet and shows a random photo of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, supposedly to illustrate the point.
There are some good parts of the site such as the explanation of the benefits of the acai berry, a Brazilian product widely touted as a ‘superfood’. Dr. Perricone, the author of the Perricone Prescription which uses the superfoods in its diet is mentioned a couple of times along with the news sources that have also discussed the wonders of the fruit.
Most of the Acai Burn website is repetitive, focusing more on the wonderful results of losing weight such as being able to ‘make your friends jealous’ and finally be able to wear a bikini without worrying. Although the site is bright and attractive, the design is very messy and unorganized. However, the site does feature a reasonably good FAQ section, shows a ‘calendar’ to demonstrate how the product works week by week and explains how, in their opinion, Acai Berry is superior to other ‘fad’ diets on the market.
Details Of Acai Burn
There is no actual product label shown for Acai Burn and the full ingredients are not listed. However, it does state that the capsules do contain some substances that are often found to aid weight loss – garcinia cambogia, chromium, gymnema sylvestre and green tea, in addition to acai berry. In clinical trials the combination of these ingredients, which are likely in a proprietary blend, were found to cause users to lose up to 4.5 times more weight than those not using the product. It is stated that diet and exercise were also part of the study, and it is obvious that the manufacturers recommend a healthy lifestyle as they include diet and exercise tips on the site.
The instructions for taking Acai Burn are 1 capsule twice a day before the morning and afternoon meal. Because the instructions warn against taking the product close to bedtime it can be assumed that there is a certain amount of caffeine contained in the blend, apart from what is found in the green tea extract.

Acai Burn – The Bottom Line
Although the acai berry has a good reputation among health professionals, there are simply too many questionable aspects of Acai Burn to be able to recommend it. For example, the user may be told that according to the data entered regarding their height and weight, they were a suitable candidate for trying the product, when no actually information has been given!
Despite this, the makers of Acai Burn do provide the customer with more facts about their product than some other brands, but without seeing a full ingredient list, it is impossible to know exactly how well it would perform. Unfortunately this may just be a case of another company taking advantage of the acai berry hype.
