Produktinformationen

Acerola contains a large amount of natural vitamin C together with many other valuable plant compounds. For this reason, Unimedica’s Organic Acerola Extract contains the whole acerola fruits from organic cultivation, gently processed and milled to a powder. With a vitamin C content of 17% this acerola extract covers the recommended daily intake of an average adult by 318%.

It also contributes to collagen formation, which is important for the strength and elasticity of blood vessels, bones, teeth and cartilage.
What is acerola?
Acerola (also acerola cherry, Barbados cherry) is the aromatic, slightly tart stone fruit of a Malpighia species. These plants are native to South and Central America. The fruits have a very high natural vitamin C content. Only acerola berries from certified organic cultivation are used for Unimedica’s acerola extract powder, in high quality and purity.
Unimedica’s Organic Acerola Extract powder is ideal for a vegan diet.
Natural vitamin C from acerola fruit extract has the advantage of being better absorbed by the body and acting together with numerous other valuable plant compounds from the acerola fruit.
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient
Vitamin C is an indispensable nutrient required for numerous biochemical processes in the body. In particular, it contributes to the normal formation of collagen, which is essential for radiant skin, shiny hair and strong nails. This structural protein gives tissue strength and elasticity, making it important for the function of blood vessels, bones, teeth and cartilage.
Furthermore, vitamin C supports the protection of cells from oxidative stress, the immune system and the absorption of iron from plant foods. Vitamin C also helps reduce tiredness and supports energy metabolism.
Vitamin C in foods
Vitamin C is found in many fruits and vegetables. A lot is found in citrus fruits, but also in sweet potatoes, sea buckthorn, parsley, apples, bell peppers, broccoli and kale.
