How does Perfect Acai compare to other Acai products?
We understand there are a number of Acai supplements and products on the market. In this article
we will examine how Perfect Acai™ compares to the other Acai supplements.
Is there really that big a difference between Acai supplements?
Yes! As we discuss in the getting Acai out of the Amazon article, Acai is very perishable. Within
24 hours of being picked, the Acai berry will begin to turn rancid. If you want an Acai supplement that maintains the nutritional
benefits of the Acai berry it must be freeze dried within 24 hours of being picked.
An Acai supplement can only be as good as its Acai. We know this sounds like a riddle, but we have seen numerous Acai supplements
in beautiful jars, with lovely graphics and well designed web sites. These companies spare no expense when it comes to marketing
their products, but they do NOT use Sambazon Freeze Dried Acai. They use cheap and inferior Acai 4:1 Extracts and Spray Dried Acai.
All the marketing and graphics in the world can not make up for using inferior Acai.
Perfect Acai™ uses only 100% Pure Sambazon Organic Freeze Dried Acai.

Why is Perfect Acai™ so expensive?
Some people look at Perfect Acai™ and think it is expensive. They look around and see that some other Acai supplements
are selling for $15. The problem is "the $15 Acai Supplement" is never made with Sambazon Freeze Dried Acai. Cheap Acai supplements
are often made with Acai Extract (4:1) or Spray Dried Acai. As we discuss in the "Are all Acai Supplements
Equal" article there are lots of tricks to make cheap and ineffective Acai.
The whole process of freeze drying Acai berries within 24 hours of picking them is expensive. Sambazon has built facilities in Brazil
to ensure the fresh Acai berries can be freeze dried within hours of being picked. In addition, Sambazon is a Fair Trade certified
company - meaning they pay a fair wage to the people of the Amazon, a wage they can live on. It is not uncommon for Sambazon to pay
twice the market price for Acai to ensure the local growers can live on their wages. Remember, the idea is to have Acai as a sustainable
food source and it is only sustainable if the locals can make a fair living harvesting Acai.
In the end, which is the better deal - a $15 Acai Supplement that has no nutritional value or a $39 Acai Supplement that packs all
the nutrition of fresh picked Acai berries?
Why is Perfect Acai™ so affordable?
Interestingly, we get this question too. If you know something about Acai, and know the importance of only buying Sambazon Acai, you
may wonder how Perfect Acai™ can be so cheap! Look around in Whole Foods or online and you will see most companies sell
60 capsules of Sambazon Acai for more than we sell 120 capsules.
How can we offer such a good deal on Sambazon Acai? We keep things simple. We buy the Acai direct from Sambazon and put it in capsules, bottle
it and label it. No middle men, no multi level marketing, no extra layers to add costs. We also do not spend much money on advertising.
We rely on word of mouth from our educated clients to sell our products. With Perfect Acai - you are just paying for the best
Acai that money can buy - nothing else.
How does Perfect Acai™ compare to a 4:1 Acai Extract?
As we discuss in our "Are All Acai Supplements Equal" article, the whole idea of an extract for
Acai makes very little sense. The whole Acai Berry contains nutrients, so you don't want to just extract one element of the Acai
berry. Perfect Acai™ is NOT an extract - it uses 100% freeze dried acai so it captures all the nutrients of the Acai berry.
To make things more confusing (don't you just love confusion?) - many companies use the term "extract" incorrectly. Some companies
say that their 4:1 Extract means that 4 grams of Acai pulp are used to make 1 gram of Acai powder. The correct term for this would be
a concentrate - not extract.
While MOST companies use a 4 to 1 concentrate of Acai pulp to Acai powder, Perfect Acai™ uses a 6 to 1 concentrate of Acai pulp
to powder. Gram per gram, 50% more Acai is used to make Perfect Acai™ than 4:1 Acai powders.
What about Product X, how does it compare to Perfect Acai™?
There are too many Acai products on the market to do a direct comparison with each product. Instead, we ask that you ask
these questions when looking at an Acai supplement:
- Does it use 100% Pure Sambazon Organic Freeze Dried Acai?
- Does it use Veggie Capsules?
- Does it provide 120 capsules, with 500mg of Pure Sambazon Acai per capsule?
- Do they offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee - return an empty bottle and get your money back?
- Is the Acai Fair Trade Certified?
- Is the Acai Certified Organic?
- Does the Acai test out an ORAC value of 34,000 per 100 grams?
If you answered No to any of the above questions, the product is not at the same quality as Perfect Acai.
What about all the Acai juices on the market, how do they compare?
If you have searched the web for Acai you have no doubt come across many Acai juice blends. While there are some quality
juice products (Sambazon makes one) - the majority contain a number of other fruits and just a small trace of Acai. If you
read the labels carefully, you will see you are paying a lot for an "acai juice" that contains very little Acai.
The other thing you will notice is the vast majority of Acai juice sites are Multi Level Marketing (MLM) operations. This is
the deal where you buy
some Acai juice and then try to get all your friends to buy so you can all retire and live on some island.
While some MLM programs are legitimate, we just don't feel these MLM Acai websites provide useful and unbiased information.
Why should I believe you when you say Sambazon is the highest quality Acai?
We spend a lot of time stressing the fact that Perfect Acai is made only with Sambazon Organic Freeze Dried Acai.
In our article on Sambazon we go over why we believe Sambazon is the best source
for quality Acai.
Still, there are many companies out there claiming to have organic, freeze dried quality Acai. While these companies make grand
claims on their website, can they claim any of the following:
- Featured in the New York Times?
- Featured in the Wall Street Journal?
- Featured in Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Bon Appetit, Business 2.0, Gourmet - not to mention ABC News, NBC News and many local news programs?
- Won the Secretary of State's 2006 Award for Corporate Excellence (ACE)?
- Has been praised by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice?
- Selected by Dr. Perricone as the premier source for purchasing acai?
If you find a company that can make all of the above claims, and it not called Sambazon, will send you a free year supply
of Perfect Acai!
While others may make big claims, Sambazon is the only company that can lay claim to all the above statements. Read our
Sambazon article and
The Media Loves Acai articles for backup to all the above claims.
What if despite everything you say I still don't like the Perfect Acai™?
Just return it and get your money back. Unlike many of our competitors, we offer a full money back guarantee. Try a bottle of
Perfect Acai™, if you are not happy just return the empty bottle for a full refund (only shipping is non-refundable). Simply put,
if you're not happy - we are not happy.
Look closely at our competitors "money back guarantee". The fine print will often explain "only unopened bottles may be returned".
Some also charge a 20% restocking fees. In our opinion, if you are selling a quality Acai supplement you should have no problem
offering a real money back guarantee.
Recap:
We know you have many choices when it comes to Acai supplements. With Perfect Acai™ you get a product that
is made with 100% Pure Sambazon Organic Freeze Dried Acai and nothing else. Perfect Acai™ does not not engage in
splashy and expensive ad campaigns, so the price for the Acai is very reasonable. If you are interested in trying Acai, we
hope you will give Perfect Acai™ a try.
