Why should we consume camu-camu?

Camu-camu is a tropical fruit that grows in the Amazon region and is becoming increasingly popular due to its high vitamin C content and potential health benefits. Here are 5 reasons why we should consume camu-camu:

High in Vitamin C: Camu-camu is one of the richest known sources of vitamin C, with up to 60 times more vitamin C per serving compared to oranges. This high concentration of vitamin C can help support the immune system, skin health, and help protect against oxidative stress.

Antioxidant properties: Camu-camu also contains antioxidants such as anthocyanins, which help protect against oxidative stress caused by free radicals, thus promoting overall health and wellness.

Anti-inflammatory effects: Some studies have shown that camu-camu may have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help with reducing inflammation in the body, and as a result, improve overall health.

Supports heart health: Camu-camu contains potassium which helps to regulate blood pressure and support heart health.

Supports cognitive function: Camu-camu’s high concentration of vitamin C and antioxidants may help improve cognitive function and protect against age-related cognitive decline.

Camu Camu can be enjoyed in powder form to prepare delicious fruit juices, added to smoothies, sparkling water, as well as your favorite dessert recipes!
