How To Reduce Body Weight?

I am over weight and am interested in the AcaI Berry. I have glacoma and take drops for that, I have hypertension/blood pressure problems for which I take meds., high bad colestrol and suffer from depression. Can I use this without fear of causing more problems?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The acal berry is thought to have anti oxidant properties and is stated to help with weight loss and aging.
These benefits are not proven by medical studies as yet.

There are no known drug interactions at present but you can consider checking your particular medications with your pharmacist or doctor.

It is generally considered safe if taken in moderate amounts.

I hope this helps
