Evidence notes
While acai demonstrates strong antioxidant activity in laboratory studies, human clinical trials are limited and often small. Most health claims exceed current evidence. Grade C reflects preliminary data with moderate antioxidant potential but insufficient RCT support for specific disease claims.
Grade C: Mostly observational or small trials; mechanism is plausible but unproven at scale.
