Adriano de Souza (Mineirinho) and Tony Silva visit Açai Roots

Brazilian professional surfer Adriano de Souza, also known as Mineirinho, and Tony Silva (former Brazilian pro surfer) recently visited the Açai Roots Team while in San Diego. The two surfers joined our team for some sushi in Pacific Beach and took home Açai Roots' products with them.

From being considered the next Brazilian Surf star since the age of 15, Adriano de Souza has exceeded the expectations placed on his shoulders and is now a reality in the WCT. The 23-year-old Brazilian is currently ranked #5 in the WCT and is the country's biggest hope for conquering the WCT title.

Mineirinho's next appearance is expected to be in Gold Coast (Qld-Australia) at the Quicksilver Pro.

Açai Roots supports Adriano and wishes him the best of luck during the remaining of 2010.

Açai Roots™ Makes Appearance at Bevnet Live 2009 Winter Event

San Diego (January 11, 2010). Açai Roots™ presence in the Winter 2009 BevNet Live edition (hosted in Santa Monica, California on December 2009) confirmed the company’s first açaí shot, nex4 Açai Energy Shot, to be a success.

The event in Santa Monica included the attendance of the industry’s top brands, as well as hot new companies joining the beverage segment.

Açai Roots nex4 Açaí Energy Shot was a hit among the attendees due to its delicious taste and one-of-a-kind characteristic.

“We received a lot of positive feedback at BevNet Live. We knew from the start that a healthy and natural energy shot, which besides having a delicious taste, does not give the consumer a head-rush and sudden crash, would stand-out”, said Marketing Manager, Rodrigo Correa.

Açai Roots’ nex4 Açaí Energy Shot is ideal for health-conscious consumers; the energy shot provides a healthy & sustained energy boost, without causing a head-rush and a sudden crash - typical in most energy products in the market. Nex4 is packed with antioxidants and vitamins derived of pure ingredients - including açaí, acerola, guarana and green tea, making it not only extremely enjoyable but also very healthy.

Next4 ready-to-drink formula is shelf-stable and is packaged in individual 2 oz shot size bottles (sold per unit at retailers or in a 12-pack through the company’s website). The formula is also available in a 32 ounce bottle.

Grown atop Amazon River palm trees, the açaí berry is considered nature’s number one super-food based on its immense amount of antioxidants, healthy essential omegas, fibers, protein, calcium, vitamins A, E, and B6.

With the addition of another success in its unique açaí product-line, Açai Roots now aims for a very strong 2010, when the company is expected to continue its explosive growth.
