We have just returned from 4 days at the Natural Products Expo East (NPEE) show in Boston. What is the Natural Products Expo East you ask…
NPEE is a trade show that showcases all the latest products in the Natural and Organic world. Everything from supplements, foods and personal care items – if it is a natural product, you can be pretty sure it will be at NPEE. In all, more than 21,000 industry members, including retailers, journalists, pioneers and entrepreneurs, explored more than 1500 booths to find the leading natural products of tomorrow.
What Were the New Trends in Natural?
By walking the aisles and attending all the educational seminars we discovered two things. First, we learned about new products and research in the world of supplements and foods. Second, we learned that walking and talking to over 1500 vendors is exhausting! Since you probably do not care much about our second discovery, we will focus on the first.
Sometimes I really wish things were exactly as you would expect them to be. How easy life would be if you could buy Acai capsules and find out that… wait for it… they actually had pure acai berry inside. Of course, if things were this clear then you wouldn’t need us to spill all the industry secrets!
Hey, Who Put Those Fillers in My Acai Capsules?
If you look closely at the “other ingredients” listed on most Acai supplements you will see things like magnesium stearate, rice, silica and a few other things you can’t pronounce. These ingredients are called fillers or flowing agents.
Flowing agents are things that allow the Acai to run more quickly through the encapsulation machines. This allows a manufacturer to produce more bottles in a shorter time.
Fillers are just that… fillers. Some consultants figured out that consumers like to see their capsules full to the top. So, what do you do if you have just 300mg of Acai but the capsule holds 500mg? You fill it with fillers.
How do Fillers or Flowing Agents Help Me?
They don’t! Fillers and flowing agents allow manufacturers to produce Acai products at a faster speed and lower cost – there is absolutely no benefit to you the consumer.
How Do I Get Acai Capsules with Just Acai?
While 95% of the industry uses fillers and flowing agents, you can still find a few pure Acai products – they have nothing but Acai in the capsules. We of course love the Perfect Acai – 100% Organic Acai in a capsule. No fillers, no flowing agents, no acai seeds – just real freeze dried Acai.
If you want to shop around and find pure Acai in a capsule then you need to study the Supplement Facts panel on the Acai supplement. You want to look carefully at the “Other Ingredients” and make sure nothing is listed there. You also want to avoid any “proprietary formulas”.
I know it sounds simple, but if you want pure Acai in a capsule – just check and make sure the only ingredient listed on the supplement is Acai!

Most Acai Berry Free Trial Scams scream out that you can try Acai for free… just enter your credit card to pay for shipping.
