Camu Camu berry powder is harvested from the edge of the Brazilian and Peruvian rainforests. Camu Camu (Myrciaria dubia) is a native bush to the South American rainforest. It is high in minerals and vitamin C. The Camu Camu fruit has more Vitamin C than any other Amazonian plant. As a fresh berry it contains 30 to 60 times more Vitamin C than an orange.
This powder is typical found in Vitamin C supplement capsules (e.g. Pure Radiance C, also available). 1/8 teaspoon equals about 500 milligrams of the powder. This means you can get 200 (1/8 teaspoon) servings per 100 gram bag. Since this is a food you can take greater amounts and increase its therapeutic benefit. It is useful in conjunction with MSM powder. Vitamin C can be very beneficial in healing and eliminating scar tissue.
The camu-camu berry is a source of phosphorus, calcium, potassium, iron, the amino acids serine, valine and leucine. Small amounts of the vitamins thiamine, riboflavin and niacin are also present.
Many have used camu-camu to support the immune system, maintain excellent eyesight, create beautiful skin, help maintain optimal clarity of mind in times of stress and anxiety. It is a great source of anti-oxidants and is an anti-viral. In studies of botanicals camu camu ranked #1 related to 12 common ailments that included things like Colds and Migraine headaches.
