Acai Balance Reviewed

Acai Balance, yet another acai berry diet pill, incredibly claims that you can not only flatten your tummy, detoxify, cleanse your body, repair free radical damage, increase energy, fight fatigue, flush waste and burn fat and lose weight loss. All this with a miracleous little antioxidant pill. It seems Acai Balance applies a blend of antioxidants and other nutrients to provide “fuel for your mind”.

Acai Balance Ingredients

We were unable to locate Acai Balance’s full ingredients label that spells out the exact amounts for each ingredient.  While Acai Balance is made with acai, ECGC, mangosteen and pomegranate without a detailed analysis of the active ingredients amounts in the Acai Balance composition we could not provide a detailed analysis of the potential impact of Acai Balance.  It is note worthy that the Acai Balance do not appear in any way to be fat burners nor detoxifiers?  Rather they are fruit extracts.  And while Green tea could perhpas burn fat, in mega doses, the FDA has banned the use of any health claims when it comes to green tea.

Acai Balance Warnings

Acai Balance is not for dieters, under 18, women that are pregnant or nursing, anyone with a family history of heart disease, nor dieters with a family history of psychological disorders, nor dieters using any prescription or over the counter drug, nor, dieters using an MAOI or SSRI.

Acai Balance Potential Side Effects

Possible side effects include high blood pressure, irregular heart beat, chest pain, dizziness, headache, nausea, insomnia, mood swings, gastrointestinal cramping, diarrhea, constipation, tension and anxiety.

Acai Balance Summary

Acai Balance is made with good nutrient fruit extracts that come with antioxidants.   However, antioxidants on their own do not provide for a potent weight loss product, nor cleanse diet pill.  As Acai Balance provides  too little information on the exact ingredients quantities while still charging $59.95 for a single bottle Acai Balance can be a more costly diet pill to try with likely more antioxidant benefits vs. weight loss.

General Acai Berry Scams

Our recent acai diet products research has not shown a favorable history of consumer satisfaction.  Many Acai berry products simply use the media coverage to hype and spin their own products cleverly knowing some consumers will wrongfully assume endorsement of the acai product when in reality it is nothing more than a typical news report about its antioxidant properties.  Clearly many of these marketers  are counting that you will associate the shown news excerpts with their own acai products.  Acai is a new diet product and not much indepth research exists on Acai for weight loss. We have not found much information about affects. The numerous websites we researched all claim that Acai makes you lose weight but we did not find indepth human clincial trials for Acai on this. Obviously the marketers of the Acai Berry Diet Pills want you to think that Acai is going to work but our research shows this is more hype vs. science with human clinicial trials, obiviously designed to to sell Acai Berry diet pills. Virtually all of these companies have a similar theme of media excerpts about Acai, some testimonials and pictures of Oprah and or Dr.Perricone.  With so many online complaints about acai berry diet aides, consumers should use extreme caution when it comes to acai berry aides.

 Acai Berry Diet Pill Free Trials

While Acai Berry Diet Pills are typically offered through a free trial in reality the free trial is a recurrent autobilling programs. Generally you must cancel cancel your autoship plan to avoid further charges. Of course, like any auto-ship free trial product we recommend that you understand your charges and the plans complete terms and conditions, cancellation policy and refund policies.

Connecticut Probes Acai Berry Scams

Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is investigating the business practices and questionable science associated with Acai berry products — primarily pitched by Internet-based companies as a wonder treatment for weight-loss.

Blumenthal’s office has received numerous consumer complaints related to Acai berry purchases, and is investigating with other states.

There is no competent scientific research that demonstrates any of the claimed effects of Acai berry, including weight loss, detoxification and increased energy and vitality, Blumenthal said.

Blumenthal said various companies selling Acai berry products — in addition to bogus weight loss claims — have improperly charged consumer credit cards.

After promising 14-day “free trials” of Acai berry products, the companies often make it virtually impossible for consumers to cancel the trial, resulting in charges to consumer credit cards ranging anywhere from $59 to $89.

Even worse, some consumers never even receive the product within the trial period — making it impossible to try the product before deciding whether to cancel.

That’s what happened to Robin of Covington, Ga., who complained to ConsumerAffairs.com about her dealings with Advanced Wellness Research.

“I ordered the free trial of Acai Berry capsules for $4.99. It took 2 weeks to get the bottle. That’s their SCAM..you have to call withing 14 days to cancel. It’s hard to cancel when you haven’t received the product! … On my next credit card statement, I had been charged $78.81 on 2/7/09 and another $83.80 on 2/22/09.”

“There are no magical berries from the Brazilian rainforest that cure obesity — only painfully real credit card charges and empty weight loss promises,” Blumenthal said. “Aggressive Acai berry pitches on the Internet entice countless consumers into free trials promising weight loss, energy and detoxification. These claims are based on folklore, traditional remedies and outright fabrications — unproven by real scientific evidence.

“In reality, consumers lose more money than weight after free trials transition into inescapable charges. We will investigate these allegedly misleading or deceptive nutrition and health claims and take action under our consumer protection statutes — as we have done with other food products. As problematic as the berries are the bills.

“Supposedly free online product offers commonly entail costs. These false celebrity endorsements and fake blogs show the dark side of online marketing.”

David Schardt, senior nutritionist for Center for Science in the Public Interest, said, “If Bernard Madoff were in the food business, he’d be offering ‘free’ trials of açai-based weight-loss products. Law enforcement has yet to catch up to these rogue operators. Until they do, consumers have to protect themselves.”

ACAI BERRY INTERNET SCAMS:  PUBLIC WARNING

Internet Acai Berry rip off scams promise rapid fat loss while stealing your credit card infomation and charging away.

 For_Immediate_Release:

Since the national media outlets and celebrity personalities like Oprah, Dr. Oz and Dr. Perricone have been telling everyone about the health benefits of the acai berry of Brazil it seems that new acai berry products are being produced left and right. While some are very effective for overall health some acai berry products are making outrageous claims that you can lose 45lbs of fat in 60 days.

When people invest in a fat loss product or program they want rapid fat loss results and they want to feel that they are given value for what they paid for. The last thing that people expect to do is get ripped off and this is exactly what is going on with the acai berry internet scams. “These scams artists are out to get your money and they do not care who they rip off”, states-Nii_Wilson.

The acai berry scams or any fat loss scams usually have a pattern or a particular style.  You want to avoid these scams like the plague and also avoid future scams to come, below are the general components of the scam:

1) These acai berry scams seem to be targeting mainly women since statistically women are more eager than men to pay for and find solutions for their fat loss goals weather it be diet pills or personal training.
2) These acai ads will appear in GOOGLE and say something to the extent of
“See how Becky lost 27 pounds in 30 days” or “See how I lost 45 pounds in 2 months without diet and exercise The ads will usually have a female’s name in the ad. Some will have a “dual action” colon cleanse product along with them.
3) They websites are either BLOGS or Websites that almost always have the same before and after pictures. Some of these before and after pictures on the acai berry blogs and websites are being stolen from other websites of hard working personal trainers that spend countless hours to get their clients results.
4) These products also use the logos of National Media outlets such as ABC , CNN, and celebrity pictures of Dr. Oz, Oprah, Dr. Perricone, Rachel Ray, and countless others. If they don’t get your money with the celebrity “testimonials” they will probably get you to buy into “the regular stay at home mom that lost weight eating cheesy poofs, corn dogs, and pizza without diet and exercise”

” DO NOT be confused these celebs are endorsing health benefits of a fruit not a particular product and especially not for fat loss. I am sure we can all remember the grapefruit diet. I personally don’t know how these websites are still in operation using celebrity pictures and trademarked logos and passing them off as valid testimonials. As a professional it makes me sick and I am sure they are crossing some legal boundaries”, states-Wilson.

5) FREE 30 day trial. What they do tell you yet people fail to read in the “terms and conditions” is that your trial typically starts when you order and the product can take up to 15 days to get to your doorstep. So basically its a 15 day trial and once your credit card is charged there is practically nothing you can do since you agreed to THEIR terms and conditions.

Weight-loss Berry Claiming Oprah_Endorsement Makes Wallets Slim and Consumers Angry Warns BBB

Alert:  Acai Berry and Associated Procducts Reviewed by BBB

Acai Berry Maxx

Maxx Slim Hoodia

FX Supplements

FX Supplements.com 

Central Coast Nutraceuticals

Better Business Bureau is warning consumers to be wary of online ads relying on celebrity endorsements to sell acai-berry related weight loss products. BBB has received thousands of complaints from consumers nationwide who thought they were signing up for a free-trial offer of acai berry weight loss products that were supposedly endorsed by Oprah_Rachel_Ray and other celebrities; in the end, the free trial cost them, month after month.

The acai berry has been featured on national TV shows and praised by doctors and celebrities for its high level of antioxidants. Marketing claims about the acai include that it fights cancer and aging and promotes dietary health and weight loss – and these claims are working, with sales of acai products approaching $15 million last year, up from $500,000 per year in previous years. Producers of acai berry supplements, juices and tea have been very successful peddling their goods in ads on the Internet and on social networking Web sites such as Facebook. In November alone, more than 1.5 million people searched for the term on Google. Online ads and Web sites often include a photo of a celebrity and claim that she endorses the acai as a weight loss miracle.

“BBB can’t speak to the restorative or weight loss properties of acai-based products, but we are taking companies to task for their misleading sales and marketing practices,” said Steve Cox, BBB spokesperson. “Many businesses across the country are using the same selling model for their acai products: they lure customers in with celebrity endorsements and free trial offers, and then lock them in by making it extremely difficult to cancel the automatic delivery of more acai products every month.”

Following are two companies that exemplify dozens of other businesses operating nationwide that sell acai-related items with a similar sales model:

FX Supplements
BBB serving Fort Worth recently received a large volume of complaints against FX Supplements.com, a Web site selling products such as Acai Berry Maxx and Maxx Slim Hoodia. The company offers a risk-free trial of their products for the cost of shipping and handling. However, if consumers do not cancel within the trial period they are sent additional bottles every month and are billed $85.90. Complaints show that the trial period fluctuates between 10 and 14 days from when the consumer requested the free trial—not from when they received the product.

Complainants stated they had difficulty canceling their subscription; some made numerous calls to the phone number listed, found the number out of service, continually busy or were sent to voicemail. Complainants also had a difficult time canceling their subscription via the e-mail provided. In some cases the e-mail address did not work or the complainant continued to be billed even after multiple e-mails. Several customers reported that they were forced to close down bank accounts and cancel credit cards to stop recurring charges. 

Central Coast Nutraceuticals
In the last 12 months, the BBB serving Central, Northern and Western Arizona has received more than 1,400 complaints for a company called Central Coast Nutraceuticals which operates several Web sites selling acai, hoodia and male enhancement products. The company uses Oprah_endorsements of the acai berry in ads touting its weight-loss benefits and offers a free trial of acai-related products including supplements and tea. Due to the company’s negative option, if, after the free-trial, the consumer no longer wishes to receive a monthly supply they must cancel their subscription or they will be billed $40 monthly.

The complaints against the company all tell a similar tale of how difficult it was to contact the company and cancel the subscription — including enduring 75 minutes on hold. Additionally, consumers complain of unauthorized charges on their credit card or bank accounts for products they did not order. Central Cost Nutraceuticals has earned an F grade from BBB for a large volume of unanswered and unresolved complaints.

“These companies are simply abusing general acai berry endorsements from well-known, trusted celebrities by using it as a tacit endorsement of their company and products specifically,” added Cox. “Consumers trust_Oprah_and unfortunately, if they are tricked into believing that she is putting her stamp of approval on a product then they are definitely more likely to purchase it.”

Before purchasing acai products, BBB recommends checking out the seller first. BBB maintains a free online database with more than four million reports on businesses.
