Hello jbabie,
I have tried quite a few acai products, most of which were juice blends although I have also had freeze-dried acai juice powder. I did try some of the pure acai berry juice, from a company called Genesis Today, which was very pure and high quality, but it definitely tastes more pleasant when mixed with a bit of another juice or natural sweetener.
From my experience (I have worked in the supplements industry and as a nutritionist for a little over 13 years), I think the best results come about when using acai as an energizer. I would consume anywhere from 1-4 ounces first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, to maximize absorption. I would also consider consuming another 1-2 ounces mid-day.
The amount to drink depends on the concentration of the juice. If it is the pure stuff, one ounce taken twice a day would yield some results, although it would be a subtle effect. For therapeutic use, you could bump that up to 2-4 ounces taken twice daily. That would increase the antioxidant properties and the energizing properties quite nicely.
If the acai berry juice product is diluted with other fluids, you would have to drink more, depending on the degree of dilution. Check the ingredient list to see what other juices or fluids (like water) are included. If there’s lots of other stuff before the listing for acai berry juice, drink closer to 4 ounces twice a day.
Ultimately, listen to your body. Try a product and pay attention to how it makes you feel. Next day, try a little more and compare it to the first day. Your body will let you know if it likes it or not by making you feel good, bad, or no different.
Just to throw this out there, I don’t drink coffee. It doesn’t treat me well when I drink it. On mornings when I am really tired, I can slam down a bottle of an acai berry juice blend over the course of 30 minutes or so and it really lifts me up.
