Camu Camu Fruit

Camu-camu is a low-growing shrub found throughout the Amazon rainforest. It produces round, light orange-colored fruits about the size of lemons. Camu-camu fruit has the highest recorded amount of natural vitamin C known on the planet. In comparison to oranges, camu-camu provides thirty times more vitamin C, ten times more iron, three times more niacin, twice as much riboflavin, and 50% more phosphorus. It also has a full complement of minerals and amino acids that can aid in the absorption of vitamin C. In addition to that, camu-camu contains beta-carotene, calcium, leucine, protein, serine, thiamin, and valine.

Due to the high Vit C content, it has a sour, acidic taste. When mixed with water and sugar, it makes a pleasant, refreshing drink. The extract is normally used for making beverages, ice-creams, candies, etc. or encapsulated for its high Vitamin C content.

Available in natural fruit form, extract powder form (ingredient) and capsules (nutritional supplement).
