BulkSupplements.com Acai Berry Extract Powder 500g (1.1 lbs) - Pure Acai Berry Supplement for Smoothies, Juices & Baking - Rich in Antioxidants for Immune Support & Energy Boost - Vegan, Gluten-Free Superfood Powder

Pros: I have been taking this acai berry powder for a couple of weeks now and my skin seems clearer and more radiant. Also, the antioxidant profile for acai is mainly why I started taking it to protect my cells because I'm a full-time college student under a lot of stress.Cons: the ziplock on the pouch came off when I went to get some acai, so I can't seal the pouch anymore an hope the acai doesn't spoil. Other than that, this is a great product.This is an extract and not traditional açaí. So the powder is very thick. Fine when blending.The taste seems a bit synthetic- like it leached from the package container. This could’ve a better product.If I hadn't previously tried Madre Labs 'Simply Acai', I might've mistakenly thought that this product from Bulk Supplements is a good representation of organic acai berry powder. As soon as I opened its metallized plastic envelope, I was disgusted by its pale color. I'm sure there is some euphemistic 3-syllable color name fancied for this shade of purple, but I was expecting the powder to appear like that from Madre Labs; similar to finely ground French roast coffee. What an initial disappointment that was!I still had a small qty of the Madre Labs (ML) product left (purchased from iHerb), so I was able to do a side-by-side comparison. In one drinking glass I mixed one tablespoon of this Bulk Supplements (BS) powder into 1 cup of triple filtered tap water. That produced about the same color and flavor mixture as a mixture of 1/2 TEASPOON of ML powder in the same qty of water. Obviously the BS powder is of vastly inferior quality. But considering its low price, could it still be a better value than the ML powder. Well, then let's do the math...From Amazon, the ML is currently priced at $4.38/oz and BS is at only $1.68/oz. So the ML costs 2.6 times more per unit weight than the BS. However you must consume the BS at a rate that is about 6 times greater than the ML in order to reach "parity" with the ML. But even then, it's doubtful that the two consumptions would be nutritionally equivalent. There is no doubt in my mind that the BS product has a disproportionately inferior antioxidant assay.My hunch is that the BS product is merely evaporated juice from pressed berries, whereas the ML product is mashed, dried and pulverized whole berries (including the skins).Great product. Bag wont seal. The ziplock part wont work. Using clothes mind, but the product itself is good. Could just have a bad bag. No worries.The flavor, color and value is spot on. I’m not sure how organic this is or if it is effective because I mix it into my protein powder container but I can appreciate how it seems to fit the authenticity profile I will look forward to the overall effects with this productCrap with barely any açaí mostly chalky filler. Do not recommend buying.I just received the Acai product, and the packaging of the powder made it difficult and a mess opening. The bag was filled passed the seal ,and in the seal,,so when you opened product, the powder went all over the place, creating a mess, and waste of expensive product. Other product bought here was done in a way that didn't cause this issue....I have not been able to get go Acai. So thank you. Your products are really great.
