AcaiBurn
AcaiBurn Overview
The first statement made on the AcaiBurn site is a warning – it cautions users that its product is not for those who simply want to lose a ‘few measly pounds’. In fact the whole tone of the very lengthy AcaiBurn website is over-the-top and exaggerated, even saying that AcaiBurn is Hollywood’s hottest diet and showing a random photo of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, supposedly to illustrate the point.
Most of the AcaiBurn website is repetitive, and focuses more on the ‘wonderful’ results of losing weight such as being able to ‘make your friends jealous’ and finally being able to wear a bikini without worrying. There are some good parts of the site such as the explanation of the benefits of the nutritious acai berry, a Brazilian product widely touted as a ‘superfood’. Dr. Perricone, the author of the Perricone Prescription which is based on the superfoods, is mentioned a couple of times along with the news sources that have also discussed the wonders of the fruit. Neither of these are actual endorsements of AcaiBurn however.
Although the site is bright and attractive, the design is very messy and unorganized. It 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 AcaiBurn
The AcaiBurn website does state that the capsules contain some substances that are often listed in weight loss products – 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. Unfortunately there is no actual product label shown for AcaiBurn and the full ingredients are not listed.
The instructions for taking AcaiBurn are 1 capsule twice a day before the morning and afternoon meal. It is likely that the product contains an amount of caffeine, aside from that in the green tea extract as it is advised that the capsules are not taken within 5 hours of bedtime.
AcaiBurn Advantages
- A FAQ section is featured on the site

- Acai berry is known to be a ‘superfood’ with many health benefits
- The acai berries used in AcaiBurn are certified
- The product is offered for a 14-day free trial

AcaiBurn Disadvantages
- The tone of the website is extremely exaggerated
- There is no evidence that AcaiBurn is used or endorsed by Hollywood celebrities
- The 14-day trial offer enrols the customer into the auto-shipping program
- 14 days is not adequate time to properly judge the product
- AcaiBurn may contain large amounts of caffeine
- The exact ingredient amounts are not known
- The company uses questionable sales tactics (i.e. stating that the customer must order within a few minutes to be eligible for the free offer)
- AcaiBurn costs $59.95 and is not available in retail stores
The Bottom Line
The makers of AcaiBurn 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.
Although the acai berry has a good reputation among health professionals, there are simply too many questionable aspects of AcaiBurn 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 are a suitable candidate for trying the product, when no actually information has been given!
Unfortunately this may just be a case of another company taking advantage of the ‘buzz’ surrounding acai berry and superfoods.
