Research lacking: The acai berry contains antioxidants called anthocyanins & flavonoids which are reported to reduce free radical formation & to help protect from some cancers. Although there is not research based evidence at this time it is also reported anecdotally to assist with weight loss and can be used as an oil in cosmetics.

Antioxidant benefit.: Acai berry is very high in antioxidants, like pomegranate and blueberry. Contrary to popular lore, there's no magic to Acai berry other than its potent antioxidant power. It's a low calorie option for people losing weight, though.
