    I drink a supplement with green tea extract, acai and other fruit extracts every morning and take a bottle of it when I ride. The bioflavonoids can't hurt and it tastes good and is refreshing on long rides. It's also cut the desire for sugary drinks so I have not had a cola in about 6 months and don't miss it. Along with Hammergel, water and a banana I'm good for a long road or mtb ride.

    Found a "free trail" on line and I guess this has been talked about on Rachel Ray and Oprah.
    Thing is...I just cut out wine for about 2 weeks and really watching what I eat and keeping up w/ my running/biking.
    But it is always so slow....anyone using this and finding it "helps"?
    I try and do the right thing...burn more calories than take in...but it is always a struggle and SLOW!

    Oh--now I found the fine print...if I "like" it charges me almost $100!

    Just curious anyway!

    You can find this juice in most any organic food store. It is very expensive.
    Just eat lots of blueberries and other colorful things, it's a whole lot cheaper

    I recently read about the acai berry too and got to looking around. Found v-8 fusion that has acai berri, blueberries and other stuffs in it. Probably not enough acai to make a difference but it tastes good and I haven't had a coke in a week.

    So the acai cuts the desire for sugar/sweets?

    I saw the "free" bottle (tablets) too, paid the shipping and got it yesterday and left for the weekend so I haven't started taking it yet, but this thread is apparently timely. I will check my "fine print" and make a decision before my time is up, but would be interested if there is anymore discussion on this.

    You suppose if Acai berry worked, Oprah would be using it (and, she wouldn't be back to 200 lbs)?
