Camu Camu Powder
Camu camu is a tart, red berry from the Amazon, used as a powder, packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and minerals like manganese. It’s often added to smoothies or juices.
Traditionally used in South American diets, camu camu is valued for its high nutrient content and vitality-boosting properties.
Camu camu contains powerful phytochemicals with health benefits, including the amino acids serine, valine, and leucine, and more Vitamin C than any other known plant in the world. The dehydrated camu camu fruit powder contains 8-9& Vitamin C, which is 30 to 60 times more Vitamin C than an orange and 3 times more than acerola.
Camu Camu contains bioflavenoids, the amino acids, serine, valine, and leucine, as well as important amounts of thiamine, riboflavin and niacin. Camu-camu helps to promote healthy gums, eyes, and skin and supports the functions of the brain and heart.
