ABSTRACT:
Açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) is a fruit native to the Amazon region, recognized for its nutritional and functional value due to the presence of bioactive compounds, such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, dietary fibers, unsaturated lipids, vitamins, and minerals. These constituents have high antioxidant capacity, contributing to cellular protection against oxidative stress and inflammatory processes. This study aimed to analyze recent scientific evidence on the potential of nutraceutical bioactive compounds of açaí in the prevention of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. A narrative literature review was carried out with studies published between 2022 and 2026 in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect databases. The studies demonstrate that açaí has cardioprotective and neuroprotective effects related to the reduction of oxidative stress, inflammatory modulation, and cellular preservation. Experimental research indicates improvement in cardiac function, reduction of cardiac injury biomarkers, and protection against neurological damage. The evidence highlights açaí as a natural source of bioactive compounds with nutraceutical potential; however, more clinical studies are needed to confirm safe doses and effectiveness in humans.
