If you are trying to lose weight, then you know one of the most important things that you can do is to work out on a regular basis. You will want to add a food or supplement that contains amino acids to your acai berry diet, which is one of the nutrients that acai berry is rich in. The amino acids in acai berry will help your body to build muscle from exercise more efficiently.

By having the right nutrients in your body, each time that you exercise, the fat that is burned will be converted into muscle more easily, and the new muscle will then work to burn fat even when you are not exercising. Even though acai berry can’t do all the work for you, it can give your body that extra boost that will make your exercise routine more efficient.

Judge issues injunction against Acai Berry seller to halt all operations

More than a year after the US attorney general issued a $1.37 million dollar fine against Central Coast Nutraceuticals (CCN) for deceptive business practices that didn’t have much effect, it looks like CCN will finally be shut down. The FTC followed up and convinced a US district judge to issue the injunction against CCN, which effectively halts ALL their operations

After listening to consumers complaints for 2 years now, the FTC has taken action again. They convinced a US federal district judge to issue an injunction against one of the biggest companies behind the Acai Berry Free Trial scams, Central Coast Nutraceuticals (CCN), effectively halting all their internet operations and freezing their bank accounts.

Its about time! Yes, the FTC is a government bureaucracy, so moves very slowly. They’ve been inundated with complaints from tens of thousands of irate consumers now, with estimates of over a MILLION victims of these scams. To be fair, they did make a case A YEAR ago against a Texas man who was a force behind these schemes in the early days. He quit the business and was fined a few thousand dollars – about what you pay for a big traffic ticket!

Here’s the strange part of the big fuss they are making about this single case - The US attorney general made a big fuss in June 2009 about a record fine against an acai berry distributor. Guess who it was? CCN! With hundreds of websites and dozens of companies pushing these scams all over the internet, the FTC makes a big deal about a court decision to stop the SAME COMPANY that the US attorney general supposedly shut down OVER A YEAR AGO! Please forgive my cynical nature, but it sounds like the different government agencies are fighting for credit over the same case. Either that, or the $1.37 million fine last year didn’t convince CCN to stop. In which case, why didn’t the US Attorney general do more LAST YEAR?

Ok, enough with being cynical. It sounds like CCN is finally being shut down. Lets hope the FTC keeps the pressure up and pursues more cases to shut down the rest of the scumbags.
