No doubt you’ve heard the buzz surrounding acai berry tablets and acai berry juice. This popular “superfood” called acai has been featured on Oprah, the Today Show, and several other programs. Acai berries contain a host of nutrients such as antioxidants, fiber, and omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids. But which is more beneficial, the capsules or the juice?
From a health standpoint, the pills are probably more beneficial than the juices. Like most fruit juice products, acai berry juice is often sold as a juice blend. MonaVie, for example, is actually a blend of nineteen different fruit juices. Consequently, you don’t really know how much acai you’re getting. Juices also tend to be watered down and may contain added sugar or other undesired ingredients. Be sure to read the labels on all fruit juices, as many of them surprisingly contain very little juice.
By contrast, acai berry tablets are created through a much more precise process that results in a purer product. The acai berries are freeze-dried and then processed into a fine powder that can be encapsulated or compressed into a tablet. However, this powder is not the same as “acai berry powder” that is yet another form of acai. The loose powders that you can buy in bags are made from acai berry extract, not the freeze-dried berries. So if you want to get the most acai for your money, the tablets are the way to go.
Other reasons for choosing tablets over juice include personal preference, budget, and lifestyle. Some people do not like the taste of acai berries, while others just prefer the convenience of taking a pill. Last but not least, acai berry juice is not cheap. A bottle of MonaVie costs almost $40, and it has only enough servings for about one week. At $40 per week, that’s about $173 per month or $2080 per year. Bottles of acai berry tablets vary greatly depending on the manufacturer (be careful — cheaper brands may not contain authentic acai), but the average price per one-month supply is only about $58. If sparing $2 a day to look and feel great is too much, then acai may not be for you.

I am taking a betablocker called Coreg & ACE Inhibitor called Benicar . I was wondering if drinking those juices will interact with my medications. Don’t ask me to ask that to my doctor because they know nothing about those juices. They knkow nothing about supplements or herbs so I wonder why they always say : "please check with your doctor before taking this supplement " LOL
Drink them in small amounts, diluted with water.
They are great anti-oxidants, so regular use will help reduce some blockages, and your blood pressure. You may be able to reduce your dose of pills.
To much will also lower your BP so much you’ll want a nap. I’ve done that a few times.
A good research site is http://www.pubmed.gov

If I go buy a bottle of Acai Berry juice from Wal-Mart, JUICE no pills, will it help me lose weight?
Watch out for any answer with a link it in. Most of them go to scam sites that want your credit card so they can rip you off. Like the acai berry answer above:
They charge a small shipping fee to get your credit card number then they charge you around $80 in a few days (after the trial period ends) and then $80 every few weeks from then on. You have to cancel your credit card in order to stop the charges.
Most internet acai berry sites are scams. Go to your local health food grocer to get acai berry or try GNC at your local mall

I am on the Acai berry Juice diet. I have to say, it works wonders on me.I stay full longer,and lose weight. But To have to drink it sucks. I gag on the taste. I usually take a mouthful of Orange juice and take the shot. But I can still taste it.
Any tips on how to drink it without feeling like it is going to make me throw up?
Mix it with Ginger Ale, or use the Acai berry pills.
