About 3 months ago I started drinking a fruit juice that combines 19 fruits one of the fruit is the acai berry I suffer from shoulder, and left arm pain. Hope this information is useful.

The Acai Berry has 10 times the antioxidants of grapes and twice the antioxidants of blueberries, is considered to have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth.

Acai Berries are high in essential fatty acids & omegas -- 60% Oleic (omega 9) - a monounsaturated essential fatty acid which helps to lower LDL, while maintaining HD . 12% Linoleic (omega 6) - a polyunsaturated essential fatty acid which has also been found to lower LDL, while maintaining HDL. Acai also contains many valuable Phytosterols. Sterols are compounds of plant cell membranes providing numerous benefits to the Human body, namely the reduction of blood plasma cholesterol.

The Acai Berry is a dense source of a particular class of flavonoids called anthocyanins. Acai Berry's ORAC value (a measure of its antioxidant properties), is higher than any other edible berry on the planet. The Acai Berry is also an excellent source of dietary fiber!

The Acai Berry contains the following:
1. A protein profile similar to an egg.
2. A fatty acid profile similar to olive oil.
3. The leading source of anthocyanins.
4. High fiber with a low glycemic index.
5. More than 16 phyto-nutrients and antioxidants.
6. Copious amounts of trace minerals and macrominerals.
7. Plant sterols, particularly one that helps lower cholesterol.

This is extract from a study being done at the Uniiversity of Florida with acai berry and leukemia cells in the lab.
"Published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the study showed extracts from acai (ah-SAH’-ee) berries triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested, said Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences." “This was only a cell-culture model and we don’t want to give anyone false hope,” Talcott said. “We are encouraged by the findings, however. Compounds that show good activity against cancer cells in a model system are most likely to have beneficial effects in our bodies.”
