Acai & Micronutrients
Friday, January 23rd, 2009Micronutrients are dietary minerals and our body needs a very small amount of these nutrients; these trace elements include iron, cobalt, chromium, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium, zinc and molybdenum. A human body requires generally 100 micrograms/day of these nutrients.
A recent study shows that one in three persons worldwide suffers from the deficiencies of these macronutrients including blindness, Anemia or mental retardation. Though micronutrient deficiencies are less found in developed countries, still health experts always try to discover new natural sources to feed their people with all essential micronutrients. During their research they discovered Brazilian Acai from the Amazon Rainforests. Scientist confirm Acai berry contains a sufficient amount of micronutrients like Calcium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Phosphorus, Vitamin A, B1, C and Vitamin E. In spite of the fact that Acai berry outside Amazon cannot not come in its raw form; still Acai Pulp other then high in antioxidants is also good in all micronutrients and a daily intake of Acai product like juice, pills or powder can fulfill the daily requirements of all important trace elements.
