You could have them tested by a toxicology lab and get them to look for the active ingredient that is supposed to be in the pills.
By the way, It can be dangerous buying pills by mail order especially if they are from overseas and are not subject to the same quality control guidelines that is in your country.
Also you should check if the pills are FDA/TGA approved depending on what country you are from.

Acai berry products are becoming very popular right now, but there are some things that you need to take into consideration. Acai berries are only from the Amazon in Brazil, so anything that is not from there may not be acai, or may be very low quality acai. Because the acai berry is so perishable, much of the nutrient and antioxidant content of the berry may be lost not long after harvesting, unless it is somehow preserved to maintain its nutritional integrity. Many acai pills and powders are very low quality, because the process they go through rids the acai of its nutrition. One thing to check is the color of the pill or the powder. The acai berry is a very dark purple, almost black, and so any pill or powder that is medium to light purple is made up of very low quality acai. Those are some things to look for.
The acai berry product that I use is Monavie. I find it much more convenient, and delicious, than taking a pill or mixing a powder drink. Monavie has a facility right in Brazil, and a patented flash freeze dry process that allows Monavie to retain nearly all the nutritional and antioxidant content of the acai berry. Since drinking Monavie I feel more energetic, healthier, and I sleep better.
