What is the name of the acai berry supplement Oprah and Dr. Oz recommend?
Nichole S asked:
I didn’t see the episode when Oprah and Dr. Oz endorsed a brand. I’ve done some research and found there are over ten different ones on the shelves, not counting the ones shown on the tv at 4 a.m. Where can I get the one they raved about on the show.

It’s called Acai. They didn’t recommend any particular brand, just the fruit itself, even though there are many scam companies online that are fraudulently using their names to help move their product. I would recommend getting a name brand that you recognize the first time just to make sure you won’t get taken… if you like it, then you can do some research to make sure you get the best deal as far as brand and cost. If you aren’t sure where to start, I can offer some of the brands that should be in your local health food store that would be high quality.
You can get it from any health food store (GNC, Whole Foods, etc) and many other places, but I would be careful about online ads for it (and the “free trials” are hardly ever free since they have to get you to pay for it somehow). Unfortunately, Acai is one of a few high powered antioxidants that are fads right now and when there is a fad, there are always people and companies that take advantage of that popularity and sell their own piece of it. The unfortunate part is that too many of those people/companies make baseless claims in order to sell their product faster and for higher prices.
It’s best to get a product like this from a company that you know and/or trust. If you’d like, I can also point out a few companies out there if you can’t find any in your local area. Good luck and I hope I helped!

It is overwhelming to decide a brand – I buy a bottled liquid form at Costco that is sold in the pharmacy area. You are in luck because beginning on Sept. 14, Dr. Oz will host his own television show! I am really looking forward to this.
Hopefully, he will re-address the Acai Berry issue.

I work at Costco and have heard, during the samples, “This is the supplement suggested by Oprah,” and I’m pretty sure this is the one that was being talked about.

Maybe you’re speaking of Mangosteen. If so the best product is XanGo. It has the whole mangosteen fruit in it along with other fruits. There is also a recipe you make using the juice that helps you lose weight. I drink it for energy and migraines. My sister drinks it for inflammation. My other sister drinks it for cramps and regulation for her periods. A pastor at church drinks it to help with her lupus symptoms. I could go on and on. XanGo juice is good for many things. Try it. It tastes good too. Good luck.

Acai supplements are a scam, they do nothing for weight loss and have no more nutritional value then blueberries or cranberries. The Internet and YA is awash with acai scams.
Oprah does not support acai products, and in fact:
“Oprah Winfrey sues over use of her name with health claims –
Talk-show host accuses marketers of illegally using her name to peddle supplements”
