When I was pregnant with lil’ Ms. JG, I somewhat had a delicate pregnancy. My amniotic fluid was low and my body wasn’t absorbing enough nutrients for me and my baby. So my OB recommended me to take açai daily for almost my entire pregnancy. She said it’s a super food that has vitamins which provide nutrients my body can absorb.
True enough, I reached full term and gave birth to a bouncing baby girl, known here on my blog as lil’ Ms. JG. I believe my taking of açai shots daily during my pregnancy has greatly helped me. Five years later and I rekindle my love for it when I attended the press launch of Organique Açai Premium Blend.
The timing couldn’t be more prefect because I was really looking into taking supplements that can help me with my health and wellness journey.
A shot of Organique Acai Premium Blend (about 30-60 ml) is the recommended daily dose, depending on the health conditions of a person. According to Cathy Salimbangon, Vice-President of Marketing of Organique Inc. says that if you’re down with something, you can double or triple the dose because you need more nutrients when you’re sick. It is best taken with an empty stomach – pure, with water, with ice or added to your smoothie.
Açai (pronounced ah-sah-ee) is the tallest palm tree in the Amazon jungle, growing up to 80 feet. Its small, dark purple berries have been a staple in the diet of the indigenous people of Brazil for centuries. Touted by many as the king of super foods, the acai berry is rich in antioxidants which combats cell damage. Acai is a form of antioxidant that helps repair cells that are being attacked by free radicals from pollutants around us. Acai berries also contain omega oils which is necessary for the proper function of the brain and cardiovascular system. It has basic vitamins and minerals that our body needs aside from being high in dietary fiber.
Cathy, a regsitered nurse worked in Geriatrics in the United States and Canada for several years. She saw how lifestyle impacted one’s body. This was what prompted her and husband Elton, who worked in the nutraceuticals industry, to launch Organique Acai Premium Blend in 2009.
TV host and wellness icon Cory Quirino, who has been aware of the health benefits of acai berry long before it hit Philippine shores was more than happy to advocate Organique Acai Premium Blend . “Organique Acai Premium Blend keeps me feeling good and looking good,” while showing her senior citizen ID to everyone who attended the launch. OMG, peg na peg ko siya when I turn 60! While dancer and fitness enthusiast Regine Tolentino was as quick to testify, “Organique Acai Premium Blend helps maintain my energy level throughout the day, even with back to back Zumba classes.”
So here are 39 reasons why you should drink Organique Acai Premium Blend.

It does not allow vessel walls to relax and expand, resulting in less stress on the heart, decreased risk of vessel blockage and an increased blood flow.

A large body of research indicates that EFAs help reduce harmful LDL cholesterol while supporting levels of the beneficial HDL cholesterol, which can lead to better blood circulation.

Marvin Bunag says
Hi Ms. Jackie! Ask ko lng po, kung gano katagal maubos ang isang 946ml? And kung panu po pagtake nya, tuwing bago po ba kumaen or after kumaen or should I say how many times a day should i drink a shot of it? I’ll wait for the reply, thanks!
Jackie Go says
Hi Marvin!
Depends how often you drink it. For me a big bottle lasts for mga 2-3 weeks since there are some days I have more than one shot. I usually drink a shot in the morning in between breakfast but I think you can drink it naman anytime you want. Best to inquire through Organique’s Facebook page as they’re more knowledgable on this. 🙂
