Minerals

Acai is a superfood rich in minerals: potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron. Athletes know that all these minerals and trace elements are essential for boosting energy.

Omegas

Fibers

Acai acts as a real appetite suppressant and without making you feel guilty since acai only contains 70kcal per 100 grams. Its fiber provides a feeling of satiety for several hours.

Vitamins

Not forgetting vitamins C, E, B1, B2 and B3 for even more energy!

Acai is very low in sugar and has a glycemic index close to zero. However, it has a high fat content, which sets it apart from other fruits. These healthy fats have many benefits and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
