Parts Used - The acai berry is the only part used, and with the seed removed and mixed with one percent of maltodextrin.

Medicinal Uses - People use acai for osteoarthritis, high cholesterol, erectile dysfunction (ED), weight loss and obesity, “detoxification,” and for improving general health. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that acai has anti inflammatory, antioxidant, and apoptotic effects. 

Preparations - Because the berries will start to spoil quickly after being harvested, they must be turned into juice, wine, or freeze dried and turned into a powder. The line of acai offered by Mountain Maus' Remedies is freeze dried and turned into a powder.
