Continuing our education for the new year, it would be prudent to learn about the ingredients in Organicare's product.
Lesson #1: the açaí berry.
The açaí berry (pronounced “ah-sigh-ee”) has become the trendy, new miracle fruit because of it's amazing antioxidant benefits. The berry grows on the açaí palm shown on the right. The small, purple berry has been touted as the "superberry" of all berries (you thought blueberries had antioxidants!? MOVE OVER, BLUEBERRY!). See the below chart from the USDA for a quick idea of the
antioxidant levels in the açaí berry. (ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, which is the system used by the USDA to measure antioxidant levels in foods)
The açaí palm grows in the rainforests in Brazil and swamplands throughout South and Central America. While natives have harvested the berry for years, it recently became popular in North America when doctors discovered its amazing qualities. The whole berry is actually 80% seed and skin and only 20% pulp and is harvested by the thousand and processed to separate the juice and pulp from the rest of the berry.
The berry's many benefits include: immune system support, weight loss, improves digestion, sleep aid, energy booster, lowers blood pressure, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging. If the berry isn't great already, it also has been found to fight cancer and disease and heart disease!!
Organicare has TWO products which put this amazing ingredient to work: Rescue Me and Fresh Fix.
Rescue Me, Organicare's anti-aging serum contains a pure concentrated form of açai berry. Açai promotes collagen and elastin production and is known for its age-fighting ability to help skin look healthier, younger and more vibrant. Its rich source of protein, together with omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, restores the skin’s elasticity and smoothness. Rescue Me is packed with vitamins B1, B2, and B3 to leave skin firmer and brighter and vitamin E to reverse free radical damage. Ginseng and ylang-ylang aid in cell stimulation and skin rejuvenation.
