Has anybody tried Amazon Thunder? Any insights? And where did you buy NOW Acai juice, and Genesis? Amazon Thunder also has a powder form and they list the ORAC values on it.

Www.amazonthunder.com

I agree with another poster who is thinking about coming up with a new supplement called dehydrated water. It could be big.
Is it re-constituted by adding water?

********Update********
I have finished my research and decided against the products I wrote about in an earlier post. The Acai 100 is made from the skin, pulp and pit of the berry. The pit has no nutritive value and comprises over 90% of the Acai Berry. This means that over 90% of Acai100 is from the pit and has no value. The Acai juice from NOW is made from freeze dried skin and pulp, but it is blended with other juices. It has more Acai than Monavie, which also uses the pit. I bought it at vitaminlife .com and it tastes very good, but it is not what I am looking for. There is no juice on the market that suits my needs, i.e. 100% Acai made from only the skin and pulp of the berry. I have concluded that a powder made from the freeze-dried puree of the skin and pulp is the only acceptable product . There are many powders available but my research has shown that only one product meets my criteria and is available at a reasonable price.
After buying some, I find that it has everything I'm looking for.
Thanks......Mike

You become a member and if you choose to sell you sign up people to be a member and they buy directly from the company at a member rate, not from another member.
You do not have to become a member to buy the product. But if you want to buy it for a better price than you become a member.
Not much different than joining a co-op, costco, sams club or any other chain that offers memberships so you can buy at a discounted price.

I guess it's really catching on. V8 Juice now has an Acai Mixed Berry juice blend which is much more affordable:

I saw some Tropicana juice in the store that had acai in it. I started to buy it but it was too expensive IMO.

Does acai have more antioxidants than pomegranate?

I eat the dark chocolaterave nuggets. You get super high natural acai berry unlike pills, I've lost weight, it makes me not crave sweets, and it's been nearly a miracle for me.

I take Super Fruits from Nature's Plus ~$19.00 for a bottle of 60 - take one a day.

Has 130 mg Acai, 130 mg Goji, 90 mg Pomegranate, 50 mg Mangosteen, 50 mg Noni. I notice my energy seems higher and just feel overall better when I take it and eat healthy!

Too expensive.
I think Genesis is the best brand for goji and acai.
