Camu Camu is a sour berry that is native to the Amazon rain forest. Camu Camu is considered a superfood - mainly due to the high content of certain nutrients and powerful plan compounds including vitamin C (one of the highest levels found in any food). It can have 60 times more vitamin C than orange (plus 10 times more iron & 3 times more Niacin) and 56 times more than a lemon.
Vitamin C strengthens your immune system and is used in your body for the formation of collagen (a protein that supports your skin, bones & muscles). It is a powerful antioxidant, protecting your cells from an overload of free radicals which can be linked with conditions like diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Eating foods rich in antioxidants can help combat free radical damage.
Camu Camu Powder can deliver up to 750% of the RDI of vitamin C per teaspoon.
