Concerned about reports of acai berry cleanse scams circulating the internet, a scientific laboratory decided to do some acai berry trial testing of its own in order to form its own, more informed opinion on the product.

Specifically, the company tested for acai berry cleanse side effects. The side effects most commonly reported in users of health supplements, weight loss supplements, and colon cleanse supplements come from the presence of heavy metals and pesticides containing chlorine, along with caffeine and “undeclared stimulants”. So they tested six differe acai berry colon cleanses for those elements.

None contained heavy metals or chlorine-containing pesticides. The only things they noted were that some contained caffeine, though all announced that on the label, and that users of acai berry colon cleanse supplements with laxatives in them should be aware of that fact and prepared for its potential potency.

All in all, that sounds like a pretty good and qualified reports on the lack of anything but positive acai berry cleanse side effects.

Many acai berry cleanse products contain more than just acai berries themselves (which are provided in the form of either acai berry extract or the freeze-dried pulp and skin of pure acai berries).

Some acai berry cleanse products, for example, contain either greet tea or white tea extract. Both of these extracts boost the energy-providing benefits of the acai berry products containing them, as well as the health benefits supported by the antioxidants which both acai berries and these teas contain. People using acai berry cleanse products for their anti-aging properties will be thankful for the extra antioxidants that green tea and white tea provide, and people using acai berry cleanse products for their weight loss properties will be grateful for the ways that the extra energy green tea and white tea both provide (through caffeine) aid them in carrying out their weight loss program.

Still other acai berry products contain other herbs, minerals, and naturally occurring elements that have also been found to support the body’s systems in various ways. Among those extra ingredients you may find in the ingredients labels on the acai berry products you come across are: chromium polynicotinate, a mineral lacking in most Americans that helps regulate sugar levels, metabolize carbs, and increase energy levels; garcinia cambogia, a fruit that aids in losing weight by suppressing the appetite and burning fats; gymnema sylvestre, a type of plant known to help normalize the body’s blood sugar levels.

Read the labels on the acai berry products you’re considering buying carefully to see if they contain only acai berry extract or freeze-dried acai berry pulp and skin, or whether they may also contain some of these health and wellness enhancing boosters too.
