I found a cheap(er) source of Acai powder online. What do you think of taking Acai powder or purple corn extract instead of blueberry extracts?

This is the cheapest source for Acai powder I have found. I used to use Sambazon Acai powder from Iherb and I thought it was the cheapest, apparently not.

I have removed the irrelevant parts of my post. I hope someone has an opinion regarding my question.

I've tried all kinds of acai powder and imo the only one worth taking is the zone-dried kind. Which is a shame because I can't find it for sale anywhere anymore. Regular freeze-dried powders don't seem to make me feel as "anti-oxidised" as blueberries do nor give the energy and focus that the zone-dried product does.

There are some differences between berry extracts but most of them have the same basic beneficial nutrient profile. I would be wary of the "next big thing". Each month it seems, there is a new hot product that claims to be sooooo much better than the last and the more exotic sounding the name, and the more remote the location it comes from, the higher the cost. Unless you were trying black raspberry extract to cure cancer or some other specific berry for specific disease amelioration, I would just go with a high quality berry extract on sale. Get a good deal. Get mostly the same benefits. That is my opinion.
