You have read a lot of about acai berries lately, but you are wondering what kinds of side effects there are to eating these berries. Well, when you are asking a question like this it is basically like asking what the side effects of eating any other fruit are. If there was issue about eating these berries by themselves the Amazon natives would know. This is because up to forty two percent of their diet is made up of these berries.
But, there are some effects when not just eating these berries in their raw fruit from. One way is through acai berry pills. If these pills are really only acai then it is fine. But, many of the companies that have these pills are just trying to hop on the bandwagon. They will add other ingredients to their pills. Quite often they will just add inert fillers in an effort to save money. But, other companies are trying to add ingredients that will help some of the effects of acai berries. Some of the things that they will try to include in these pills are guarana, sugar and other types of fruit juice. These are the ingredients that are likely to give you the side effects that are unwanted. Also, these other ingredients lower the effects of acai berry because of the small amounts of acai berry that is actually in the pill. If you don’t want to have these effects it is much better to find supplements that have only acai berries in them.
There have been reports that sometimes people that have allergies to pollens will have their allergies increased slightly from the acai berries. Though this is not a very common thing it is still good to talk to your doctor before you begin taking acai berry just if you have pollen allergies.
If you are on any medication such as those for high blood pressure you are probably really concerned with the possibility of the acai berry reacting with your medicine. Well, if you take only pure acai berries there have been no known side effects with other medicines. The recommended amount that you should take of acai berry is from 1k-4k mg. However, this is nowhere near the amount of acai berry that the Amazon people have been taking and they have had no problems with the berry.
Also if you are pregnant there have been no reported side effects on pregnancy either so it is safe for you to be eating pure acai berry when you are pregnant.
