Anthocyanins protect many departments of the human body. These flavonoids set up a defense against free radicals in the cellular level of the body. Free radicals are scavengers that attack cells, making them one of the leading causes of disease. Since the body is made up of billions of cells, then the only way to be maintains good health is for your cells to prosper.

As the acai berry defends and cleanses the cells, each aspect of the body is able to repair itself.

The same is true as the antioxidant flavonoids protect the skin cells thus producing a better quality of skin. As you can see, the acai berry’s reference to being a "superfood" is not an exaggeration.
