Our Camu Camu Berry Powder is higher in vitamin C than any other plant extremely high in beta-carotene, trace minerals, potassium, calcium, iron, niacin, phosphorus, protein, serine, thiamin, leucine, and valine with bioflavanoids for full absorption of the Vitamin C. These powerful phytochemicals and amino acids have an array of therapeutic effects. Camu Camu has astringent, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, emollient and nutritional properties. Camu Camu is wild harvested from wooden canoes while farmers float down the Amazon River, as the fruits mature in the wet season and hang over the water. The camu camu fruit contains 98% more vitamin C than an orange or a lemon. Camu Camu is being studied for its use as an anti-herpetic remedy and for it’s anti-viral and anti-carcinogenic properties.
Clinical evidence suggests that natural food sources of Vitamin C are far more effective, milligram for milligram, than synthetic Vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
