Organic Camu Camu powder - with 178 mg Vitamin C per daily dose (5 measuring spoons) - 500 g - from Unimedica

Natural Vitamin C from Peru

Organic Camu Camu powder from Unimedica is made from Camu Camu berries. The berries are gently dried at low temperatures after harvest to preserve as many of their constituents as possible. In addition to their impressive natural vitamin C content, the small red, fruity-sour berries contain numerous other valuable constituents that support the effectiveness of vitamin C in its natural matrix. The berries have a very high natural vitamin C content. For this reason Camu Camu is considered a superfood. Vitamin C supports the immune system and many other bodily functions.

Vitamin C — protector and energy provider

The nutrient vitamin C plays a significant role in numerous biochemical processes in the body and is indispensable. In particular, it contributes to normal collagen formation, which is important for healthy skin, shiny hair and strong nails. Furthermore, vitamin C helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It supports the immune system and the absorption of iron from plant-based foods. It also acts as a stimulant and supports energy metabolism, which can lead to improved concentration.

Foods containing vitamin C

Vitamin C is found in many fruits and vegetables, including citrus fruits, sweet potatoes, sea buckthorn, parsley, apples, bell peppers, broccoli and kale. However, a large proportion of nutrients such as vitamin C are lost due to depleted soils caused by intensive agriculture, long transport distances and storage. Therefore supplementation with this important vitamin can be advisable.

Proper dosage of vitamin C

To meet the need for vitamin C, it should be taken spread throughout the day, as it cannot be stored in the body for long. Natural vitamin C is water-soluble, so the body can simply excrete amounts it does not require. A daily dose (3 g) of Organic Camu Camu powder from Unimedica contains 178 mg of vitamin C, covering 222% of the recommended daily intake for an average adult.
