Resveratrol is a great anti-aging health supplement. I believe it is a lot healthier than the so called superfruit Acai Berry.

Science Versus Hype – Resveratrol Versus Acai

There is a great hype that Acai Berry can help you to loose weight and stop aging, but do you realize that Acai is just a freeze dried berry and not a hidden chemical that has been extracted from a plant?

Resveratrol has so much more to offer than Acai berry. Both supplements have great ORAC values and are definitely a greeat source of anti-oxidants, but Resveratrol has many other health benefits.

Resveratrol Health Benefits vs. Acai Berry

• it can help you to live longer by activating the sirtris gene
• resveratrol is actively increasing your metabolism
• athlets report that they can run longer distances in a shorter time
• resveratrol prevents that free radicals interact with your healthy cells
• it will help you to lose more weight than a simple acai berry extract or green tea
• neuro protection is another health benefit

Acai Berry on the other hand is a simple fruit. It is one of the best supplements you can add to your daily to get your daily dose of anti-oxidants, but Resveratrol provides a similar amount of them, so why bother?

Resveratrol Orac Values

The ORAC value of trans-resveratrol is estimated to be about 3000 per 100mg. The recommended dosage is 500mg per day, so that would make it a ORAC value of 15,000.

Acai on the other hand has a ORAC score of 5000-6000.

In comparison: Per 100 grams

• Apples ORAC value (218)
• Bananas (221)
• blueberries (2,400)
• Acai scores a 5,500 ORAC value

Conclusion?

Resveratrol has much more to offer. It is currently actively used to treat inflammation, joint pains, colon cancer and other diseases. Acai is just another hype that you should avoid.
