Navitas Naturals Camu Power, 3oz
The camu berry is one of the world's most abundant sources of vitamin C—as much as 60 times more C per serving than an orange.
This antioxidant-rich berry from the Amazon is also a plentiful source of potassium, calcium, protein, beta carotene, amino acids and powerful phytochemicals.
Often called the Camu-Camu berry, this fruit grows on a low-growing shrub (Myrciaria Dubia) native to the lush climates along the Black Water River region of the Amazonian rainforest.
The buzz about this potent berry has spread around the world, earning it the nickname “nature’s vitamin pill.”
Containing a higher naturally occurring vitamin C content than any other food, camu has long been used for its nutritional and medicinal attributes.
Navitas Naturals Camu is grown organically in Peru, where gentle freeze-drying methods are used to protect and maximize the nutrient potential of this extraordinary superberry powder.
Camu fruits are the highest documented source of vitamin C - providing 200 times more than a banana, 56 times more than a lemon, and 30-60 times more than an orange.
Camu also contains a broad range of other important nutrients including potent antioxidants, phytochemicals and amino acids, as well as many important vitamins and minerals including beta-carotene and potassium.
Elagic acid is found in camu camu, and it has been studied for anti-cancer effects, and research also indicates that it helps with blood sugar issues.
Studies have shown that camu camu powder is a better alternative to synthetic Vitamin C because its food form is more easily digested and utilized by the body.
This miracle fruit is pure Vitamin C and offers strong support for healthy eyes, gums, and skin.
It also helps to energize the body and mind, and aids in elevating mood.
Noted author and nutritionist Gary Null Ph.D., puts camu camu powder at #2 on his list of the top 19 plants containing chemicals that have positive effects on balancing mood.
Research has demonstrated why camu camu powder is so effective- because it increases serotonin levels in the brain.
