 Subscriber Special of the Month: Açai
PowerCaps
Açai
Powercaps are a great way to increase antioxidant and energy
levels. The caps are made from our high grade, organic pure açai
powder and packed into a veggie capsule. Don't be fooled by cheap
immitations using low-grade (pink colored) spray dried acai (which has
little to no nutrition). Our stuff is the gold standard, the
highest quality guaranteed. We get tons of testimonials about how
the caps increase energy levels, improve skin tone and overall health.

 Sambazon Athlete Profile: - Darwin Holmes
Extreme Sports Wheelchair Athlete
Darwin
is a paraplegic world class athlete who hasn't let the loss of the use
of his legs keep him from leading an active lifestyle. Besides
surfing, martial arts and more, Darwin rides his wheelchair in
skateboard halfpipes (including the MEGA ramp at the X-games which is
65 foot tall!!). Darwin learned about our açai from Bob Burnquist
and quickly found that the energy and health benefits had a very
positive impact on his health. "As a paraplegic I consistently
battle urinary tract infections, spasms, and anaphylactic shock. After
incorporating Sambazon Acai into my diet on a consistent basis I do not
experience U.T.I's. any longer, I feel better and days are easier to
get through with more energy.......remember two purple packets a day
keep the doctor away!!!!"
Darwin wants to get the word out
to people with spinal cord injuries that putting açai in their diet
will improve their quality of life and help them get off some of the
prescription drugs that so many are dependent on. Thanks Darwin,
you are a warrior.

 Events: Sundance and Winter X Games
SUNDANCE
January is always a great month for us with our Sundance House and
Winter X-games gig. At Sundance this year we got to share Açai
with the Hollywood crowd including Ashley Judd, Tommy Lee, Matt Dillon
and the list goes on and on (rock stars and celebs are all over the
antioxidant benefits).
X-GAMES
This was the 3rd year we've catered the athlete lounge at the Winter
X-games. The athletes are all pretty much addicted to our blend
of açai w/ granola. It's pretty cool to see them come back for
their 3rd or 4th Acai and then go out and perform on live tv. Big
Congrats to our girl Hannah Teter (left) who won the gold medal in
Women's halfpipe this week at the Torino Olympics..... and Lindsey (rt)
congrats on the silver and don't mind the critics- you always gotta
style the last air when you're about to win!
