*Camu-Camu- Contains 30 to 60 times more Vitamin C than oranges, and is a powerful antioxidant that helps strengthen the immune system. Camu-camu the name of a fruit that comes from a bush of the same name which grows close to the river banks in the Amazonian rain forest of South America. The camu-camu fruit is approximately 20 milimeters in diameter and has a pruplish red skin with a yellow pulp. When dried, the pulp becomes light beige in color. The small flowers of camu-camu bush have waxy white petals and an exquisite aroma. Traditionally made into a juice by people of the rainforest to help maintain their health, camu-camu has more Vitamin C than any other known botanical. The highest quality camu-camu contains 30 to 60 times more Vitamin C than an orange, plus bioflavanoids, and a combination of phytonutrients unique to the camu-camu fruit. Unfortunately, most of the commercially prepared camu-camu has a negligible amount of Vitamin C, which has led to a lack of appreciation of this most potent botanical. It also contains the amino acids, serine, valine, and leucine, as well as small amounts of thiamine, riboflavin and niacin. Camu-camu is traditionally used to support the immune system, to ward off viral infections, and to help maintain optimal health, especially under conditions of stress and anxiety, which tend to deplete the immune system. Camu-camu helps to promote healthy gums, eyes, and skin and supports the functions of the brain (nervous system) and heart (circulatory system).
