Natrol Adds Acai Antioxidant To Its Nutritional Product Line

  
    
  
  
    
      Natrol, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTOL), a premier manufacturer and distributor of 
      nationally branded nutritional products, announces the national launch 
      of Natrol® Açaí 
      (ah-sigh-ee) dietary supplement, providing a daily serving of 1,000 
      milligrams of this natural antioxidant. Açaí 
      (Euterpe oleracea) is a fruit that is high in antioxidants. 
      Antioxidants are naturally occurring chemicals -- found typically in 
      fruits, vegetables, grain cereals, legumes, nuts, cocoa products, coffee 
      and teas -- that reduce oxidative damage to cells and biomolecules, and 
      help defend the body against free radicals that can accelerate aging, 
      affect cellular integrity and diminish optimal health*.
    
    
      Açaí is a dark 
      purple berry -- similar to a red grape in shape, size, and properties -- 
      that grows in the wild Amazon rainforest. Also referred to as Amazonian 
      palm berry, açaí 
      has been used by Brazilians for thousands of years for its rich 
      nutrients and powerful healing properties.
    
    
      “With twice the oxygen-radical absorbance 
      capacity, or ORAC, value of blueberries, açaí 
      could be considered the berry of choice for good health,” 
      said Michael Yatcilla, Natrol’s Vice President 
      of Research and Development. He added, “Açaí’s 
      strong antioxidant properties and other beneficial components make it a 
      great new addition to Natrol’s vast spectrum 
      of dietary supplements that can enhance anti-aging, energy, and 
      immunity, as well as general health and well-being.”
    
    
      Natrol Açaí is 
      offered as a potent 4:1 extract in a vegetarian capsule, as a convenient 
      alternative to açaí 
      juices currently on the market. Each capsule contains 500 milligrams of Açaí 
      4:1 fruit extract, with a recommended serving of two capsules daily with 
      meals*.
