I heard it helps you lose weight and gives you energy and other beneficial nutrients and vitamins…
But I want to know exactly what it does give. When ever I try and find out information about it, I mainly read comments stating it gives you energy.
If it helps you lose weight; how does it? I know it has nutrients in it that help you do so, but what is that nutrient called, what does it do?

Good for you for trying to find more concrete information before just believing the hype. The truth is that this is just the latest fad diet scam to hit the markets. A few years ago it was hoodia. A few years from now it will be replaced with the next ‘big’ thing. Really, if these pills actually worked they wouldn’t go out of "fashion" within a year or two.
If you want to lose weight, eat foods that are healthier for you, watch your portion sizes, and get more physical activity.

Acai berry is not really meant to help one gain or lose weight. It is more of a nutritional supplement to augment a healthy lifestyle. It is also meant to be taken in moderation due to its potency. I have personally found however, that it does help to increase energy- which may be why sellers are quick to conclude that increased energy will equal increased weight loss (itself a far-out claim unless one is using that extra energy at the gym).
According to Mona Vie- my acai berry drink of choice- it is 30 calories per serving (1oz), has 25% of vitamin C, and 12% of vitamin K. It is a pure juice blend of acai berry and other fruits (white grape, apple, acerola, aronia, purple grape, cranberry, passion fruit, apricot, prunes, kiwi, blueberry, wolfberry (goji), pomegranate, lychee, camu camu, as well as banana, pear, and bilberry purees. This blend in effect gives you a powerful dose of phytonutrients and antioxidants. My blend also contains glucosamine which is good for the joints. It is not so much the nutrient itself- but the chemical compounds released from the acai berry- that supposedly works its magic as a superfood. The berry is known to be a strong free radical scavenger.
To gain muscle you should try a protein powder like whey or increase your consumption of other lean protein sources such as eggs and nuts. And, to lose fat you must do cardio! Increasing your muscle mass will help you to burn calories while resting- especially those in your thighs (quads and hamstrings)- but those effects are negligible without a sufficient cardio routine.
So, sure, try acai berry, but not as a primary means for either weight loss or muscle building. As for Energy? I do notice a moderate difference and overall feeling of well-being- like taking your vitamins from a glass…
