Myth Number 2: The Acai Berry helps increase muscle. Many sites claim that guys suddenly have the body of their dreams. Even the actors in from 300, the move about the Spartans, are supposed to have used Acai for their awesome physiques. One of the worlds top fitness experts notes ‘those Acai sites steal photos from other peoples sites and put them on their bogus blogs. Those sites are 100% lies. There’s not a word of truth on any of those sites’. The trainer of the 300 was Mark Twight, and Acai was not included in their training program. The fact is that cannot Acai promote muscle growth aside from the normal function of good nutrition. It is not a natural steroid.

Myth Number 3: Get free samples of Acai. Beware of the free trials, not free samples, of Acai offered on tens of thousands of internet sites. Read the small print since many feel this is a scam. The buyer pays for shipping and handling, about seven dollars, but gives the seller the credit card number.

The full cost is usually forty dollars or more. Also, the credit card will be charged monthly afterwards and the product will be shipped automatically until cancelled.
