A recent study carried out by the USDA’s National Center on Aging has suggested that extracts from acai may help to protect the brain as we age by assisting the microglia defense cells in cleaning up the degraded brain cells.
This mechanism is called autophagy and it takes the toxic proteins and recycles them. As people age, this system declines but the research suggests that the potent extracts of acai can help to enhance the process, leading to healthier cognitive function.
Açai berries have been used by the Riebeirihnos, the Amazons ‘river dwellers for hundreds of years and has been shown to have powerful antioxidant properties thanks to the high level of anthocyanins, which are part of the flavanoid family.
The results presented in San Diego indicated that extracted fractions of the açai pulp protected against the release of pro-inflammatory compounds including COX-2 and TNF-alpha. The researchers commented that: “These results suggest that açai may contribute to ‘health span’ in aging, as it is able to combat some of the inflammatory and oxidative mediators of aging at the cellular level.”
James Betz, founder and CEO of bioceutical firm, Biotvia, said: “Its great to see more studies that investigate the healing potential of naturally occurring products. I think in this day and age more people are looking for traditional remedies rather than prescription medicines as they are proving just as effective in some instances. We have been producing herbal supplements for nearly 20 years that have a solid background in combating illnesses and maladies and have released Acai Bio Edge with the aim of giving your body the much needed antioxidant boost it requires, especially after all the seasons festivities and the over indulgence that comes with it.”
