Acai berries are not only naturally high in antioxidants but are also extremely versatile. More potent than blueberries or red wine, according to Steve Talcott from the University of Florida, "Acai berries are considered one of the richest fruit sources of antioxidants." And, there are so many different types of acai berry supplements that you can try something new every day for two weeks and never have the same acai source twice.
Juice
Acai juices deliver antioxidant power throughout your body as soon as you drink them. Zola Acai Original Juice is power-packed with twice the antioxidants of a full cup of blueberries, is gluten free and sustainably harvested so this juice is good for your health and the environment.
Frozen Pulp
Acai Roots makes a tasty Acai Berry Frozen Pulp that is great in its concentrated form or as an addition to your favorite smoothie, shake or dessert. Each serving contains 3,000 ORACS, which indicates the pulp's high antioxidant and health-giving capacity.
Frozen Sorbet
For dessert, sink your spoon into a healthy dose of Belizza Acai Frozen Sorbet, which is also available in blended acai berry flavors such as banana, mango and pomegranate. This dairy-free frozen sensation will tickle your taste buds while lowering your body's bad LDL cholesterol levels.
Powder Concentrate
While powder concentrates aren't generally consumed by themselves, products such as Amazon Thunder's Freeze Dried Powder is a yummy way to add an antioxidant boost to your morning smoothie routine or add a serving to the next round of pancakes you make for some added flavor and health benefits.
Pills
Although supplements have come a long way in a short time, you may prefer the convenience of popping a pill for your daily dose of acai berry. If that's the case, try Gaia Herbs Acai Berry Liquid Phyto-Caps for quick absorption of organic, freeze-dried acai berry concentration.
Liquid Concentrate
Taken one tablespoon at a time two to three times a day, Life Balance Acai Liquid Concentrate adds a tangy bit of sweetness to your day while delivering a whopping 35,000 mg acai per serving. This liquid version is all natural, vegan and gluten-free for all to enjoy.
Smoothies
Smoothies are pretty hard to beat for a quick snack, and the Sambazon Acai Smoothie Packs are no exception. Rich in antioxidants and omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, they just may be too tasty to drink just one.
Energy Shots
Acai berries are natural energy boosters, but when Nature's Bounty created the Acai Energy Shot, it poured all of the benefits of acai into 2.5 oz drink shots to enjoy on the go.
Elixir
Karmic Delights offers an Acai Elixir that is full of flavor and boosts your health. It is so concentrated that you only need an ounce or two a day.
Energy Drinks
Let's face it, you live in an energy drink-filled world, so if you want a drink that will deliver maximum energy in a healthy way, then check out what 180 All-Natural has to offer in Acai Berry Energy.

Out of the companies you mentioned, I certainly like Acai roots the most.
I purchase their frozen pulp and powder very frequently.
