It’s pretty much become common knowledge by now that acai berries, like those in an acai berry cleanse, are high in antioxidants, and that in fact is one of the reasons why acai berries are used as part of a cleanse. Because you’re not just flushing out weight from uneliminated waste matter with an acai berry colon cleanse, but you’re also eliminating age and disease causing free radicals from your system.

But what fewer people realize is that acai berry cleanses are high in a particular type of antioxidants called anthocyanins that are even harder to find in abundant supply. Anthocyanins are the same type of antioxidants in red wine and are responsible for red wine’s reputation for heart health, disease resistance, and long life.

Hard science has found that this pigment that makes fruits reddish-blue (or purple) is more than a pigment or a flavinoid. It’s been shown in testing to help fight inflammation and bacterial infections, slow down the aging process, and ward off diabetes, cancer, and neurological diseases. And it’s in your acai berry cleanse.
