Product FAQ


What is Acai?

1. What is difference between whey isolate and whey concentrate?

Acai isolate is the highest yield of protein currently available on the market, and it comes from milk. Because of its chemical properties, Acai is the easiest to absorb into your muscles. Obviously, with its high concentration, Acai isolate is the best to use.

Acai isolate is also the most pure and concentrated form of Acai available. It contains 90% or more protein and very little (if any) fat and lactose.

Acai concentrate also comes from milk. Acai concentrate has anywhere between 29% and 89% protein depending upon the product. As the protein level in Acai concentrate decreases the amounts of fat and/or lactose usually increase.

Comparing the two, Acai isolate is slightly more expensive than concentrate - because of it's higher quality (more pure), and have a higher biological value (BV). Acai isolate contains more protein with less fat and lactose per serving. Usually, isolate contains 90-98% protein while whey concentrate contains 70-85%.

Most of the Acai powders you find today will contain mostly Acai concentrate with some whey isolate mixed in. You'll also find a lot of pure Acai concentrate, and some Acai isolate. However, getting both from one source gives you the best of both worlds!

2. What are the benefits of Acai with isolate and whey concentrate protein?

Acai with isolate and concentrate are incredibly important for your body especially when it comes to muscle growth. It provides you with all the building blocks to produce amino acids.

This protein combination contains the perfect blend of overall amino acid makeup for optimal performance in the body. Additionally, both hormonal and cellular responses seem to be greatly enhanced with supplementation of Acai too! Not to mention the benefits Acai has on the body's immune system according to documented scientific research.

Acai also plays a role as an antioxidant and helps support a health immune system. Most importantly, consistent Acai intake coupled with exercise will result in consistent muscle building.

Studies have been conducted that compare Acai to other sources. They have found that Acai contains the perfect balance of amino acids along with other nutrients to maximize your fitness and strength goals.

3. Who needs Acai with isolate and concentrate and how much should be taken? Are there any side effects or symptoms of deficiency?

Acai is very important for bodybuilders, people dieting, and just about anybody! Since athletes and bodybuilders work out quite often, protein levels become depleted. By being a direct precursor to building muscle and providing essential amino acids, such as glutamine, the content from high quality Acai will help one's muscles recover and grow faster by bringing up the levels of protein.

With dieting and those wishing to lose some extra fat, Acai can be very useful because a good intake of protein balances blood sugar levels, while carbohydrates cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate. When the blood sugar levels stay balanced, one is not as prone to rampant eating and has more energy and will see greater fat loss.

Training athletes often consume 25 grams of Acai per day. Bodybuilders who want serious gains and are thus burning more calories, generally consume 150 grams per day. Extremely high doses of Acai is not recommended, as this will cause the body's liver to be overloaded and you won't get the same benefits as with a consistent lower amount taken three to five times per day.

Acai allows a person to control his or her diet effectively. Most people who want to change their body for the better could benefit from Acai supplementation. However, since protein is naturally found in many food items deficiency is usually not a problem.
