Natrol Adds Açaí Antioxidant To Its Nutritional Product Line
Chatsworth, CA - Natrol, Inc., a premier manufacturer and distributor of nationally branded nutritional products, announced the national launch of Natrol Açaí (ah-sigh-ee) dietary supplement, providing a daily serving of 1,000 milligrams of this natural antioxidant. According to the company, Açaí (Euterpe oleracea) is a fruit that is high in antioxidants. Antioxidants are naturally occurring chemicals -- found typically in fruits, vegetables, grain cereals, legumes, nuts, cocoa products, coffee and teas -- that reduce oxidative damage to cells and biomolecules, and help defend the body against free radicals that can accelerate aging, affect cellular integrity and diminish optimal health.

Açaí is a dark purple berry - similar to a red grape in shape, size, and properties - that grows in the wild Amazon rainforest. Also referred to as Amazonian palm berry, açaí has been used by Brazilians for thousands of years for its rich nutrients and powerful healing properties.
"With twice the oxygen-radical absorbance capacity, or ORAC, value of blueberries, açaí could be considered the berry of choice for good health," said Michael Yatcilla, Natrol's Vice President of Research and Development. He added, "Açaí's strong antioxidant properties and other beneficial components make it a great new addition to Natrol's vast spectrum of dietary supplements that can enhance anti-aging, energy, and immunity, as well as general health and well-being."
Natrol Açaí is offered as a potent 4:1 extract in a vegetarian capsule, as a convenient alternative to açaí juices currently on the market. Each capsule contains 500 milligrams of Açaí 4:1 fruit extract, with a recommended serving of two capsules daily with meals.(These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

The company claims that, Natrol Açaí is free of yeast, wheat, milk, egg, soy, glutens, artificial colors or flavors, and added sugar or preservatives. Priced at $11.99 per bottle, Natrol Açaí is packaged in 60-capsule bottles and can be purchased online at www.ShopNatrol.com as well as from other major e-tailers, and at national chain, drug, grocery, health food, mass market, and super center retailers.
