I love the flavor acai berry and it's such an easy way to improve gut health and strengthen your immune system. Each package contains just 15 calories and are so convenient to use. These are great for traveling or when you are on the go.<br /><br />This was sent to me as a part of the Amazon vine program and is provided for no cost but is considered income for tax purposes. My review is my personal assessment of the product and my goal is to give a complete and honest evaluation

The mucosa refers to the lining of the intestines and GI tract consisting of 3 layers of cells. A healthy microbiota actually contributes to the health of this lining since they seem to stimulate the body to keep it sufficiently thick and vibrant. If the mucosal layer becomes damaged or too thin, food particles can escape the digestive tract at its intentionally thinnest areas and those particles are then identified as foreign invaders that are labeled and attacked by the immune function. This is one reason for food allergies and reactions. The amino acids included in these packets are found in a healthy diet so the average person eating a balanced diet and who has a healthy microbiome might not need this product. Though these amino acids are safe and can be a bit of insurance if you are eating too many processed foods or some other lifestyle choice that has caused damage. For those that seem to have GI issues, though, building up that mucosal layer as well as eating fermented foods to repopulate healthy flora could potentially result in a remarkable turnaround. This is not inexpensive and I believe is not necessary if you have a healthy diet and no issues in digestion or regularity or food allergies or IBS. If you suffer from any of those issues, I believe this might be a wise experimental product to take to effect a solution from natural sources.

Agree with others-- strong taste and distracting texture. It hit my stomach like a colonoscopy prep. Granted, I'd rather drink this than the colonoscopy prep stuff, so in that way, I suppose it is a victory.

I gave these a shot for week. Overall, I can't say if I've seen any noticeable improvement in my gut health with these but I also keep a fairly consistent diet and have regular movements. These may help though recovering from digestive issues so I would say results will vary.<br /><br />But then there is the taste. This just isn't the flavor for me, I ended up mixing it with less water just so I could down it faster.<br /><br />And at the price they're selling it for, I can't really justify this for myself or anyone else. At this point, I might as well just buy and eat a cup of yogurt every day.

This product is great but unfortunately I have to gag it down. The taste is pretty bad for me. Maybe others might like it but for me it’s really tough to drink. The benefits are great so it’s worth it but I just wish it tasted better.

The packaging is definitely safe and sealed excellently. When you cut the package mix it up in 16 oz of water and drink it up you will notice a sharp lingering Acai berry flavor. I don't mind the flavor as I'm accustomed to eating lots of berries. But someone who is more sensitive may not like the flavor especially when it doesn't go away. It is doing something though as it seems to calm things down in my gut and having a good mucosal barrier is important to your all-around health.<br />I still recommend this even if you need gum or something to handle the taste, but it tastes great to me.
