I'm always suspicious when something seems all good, but there weren't many comments about negative side effects on the internet regarding the acai berry. Digestive reactions were mentioned by a couple of people but some found it was constipating and one found it was too loosening.
Another person was concerned about blood clots, strokes or blood thickening due the vitamin K. From reading more it seems that several leafy, green vegetables have more Vitamin K than acai berries and that shouldn't be a concern.
I don't believe there is "one" perfect food, but do find supplements that are high in antioxidants give me more energy at work and some security against cancer. I am not sure about the weight loss claims but that is not an issue I have.

Acai Facts - What Are the Benefits of the Berry
Everyone seems to be talking about the special "acai berry juice". Dr. Perricone who is regularly on public television regards the acai fruit as the top superfood. We also have heard Oprah speaking about the acai berry as a rich, nutritions supplement even back in the year 2005.
What's special about the little berry?
There is a lot of antioxidant benefits (ie ten times the antioxidant power of red grapes).
Some features are:
** Assists in maintaining bodily systems and organs
** Natural ncrease of energy, and sexual performance
** Wonderful for glowing skin and hair
** Improves insomnia
** Improves body's anti-inflammatory response
** Good for pain and body soreness
Please do your research and don't just buy the products that skimp and use the seed. Dr. Perricone speaks about the pulp and berry. That is what you want. And you want to get it freeze dried and processed with low heat so nutrients aren't destroyed.
On NBC Today it was stated:
"Studies show that the acai berry is one of the most nutritious foods in the world. The high-energy berry of as Amazonian palm tree, acai is harvested in the rainforests of Brazil and tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate."
