Acai seems to be the poster child for all sorts of health benefits, and it does indeed contain Omega-3 fatty acids.
Acai also contains Omega-6 and Omega-9. Each of these can lower the so-called bad cholesterol, or LDL, and each can maintain our HDL, or good cholesterol.
Fatty acai berries most often are harvested from Palm trees in Brazil. Clinical research which quantifies the Omega-3 benefits of the popular antioxidant berry.
Clinical trials have shown that acai is not helpful in treating cancers.

The benefits gained by the use of acai berry begins with the attitude while using it. First of all one should always keep in mind that it is by no means a replacement of regular exercise. Nor it should be seen as a means to eat whatever you want whenever u want while using it. Pure acai berry when used with proper exercise and a low calorie diet would be very effective in treating weight gain.
I have to disagree with the claim that acai doesn’t help traeting cancer as the studies have not been concluded yet. So far, in vitro, the cancer cells go into self-destruction in contact to the acai’s nutriments.
Acai has a lot of great nutrients but while it is 60% omega-9 and 12% omega-6, it only has trace amounts of omega-3. That means that it is less than 1% omega-3. Its omega EFA profile is very similar to olives. Its amino acid profile is almost identical to eggs. Proteins are made up of different amounts of amino acids. People should take acai but they will still need another source of omega-3 like chia seeds.
