Country of Origin: Peru

Camu-Camu is a low-growing shrub found throughout the river corridors of the Amazon rainforest of Peru.

Camu-Camu fruit has the highest recorded amount of natural vitamin C known on the planet.
Oranges provide 500-4,000 ppm vitamin C, or ascorbic acid; acerola has tested in the range of 16,000 to 172,000 ppm.
Camu-camu provides up to 500,000 ppm, or about 2 grams of vitamin C per 100 grams of fruit.
In comparison to oranges, Camu-Camu provides thirty times more vitamin C, ten times more iron, three times more niacin, twice as much riboflavin, and 50% more phosphorus.
Camu-Camu is also a significant source of potassium, providing 711 mg per kg of fruit. It also has a full complement of minerals and amino acids that can aid in the absorption of vitamin C. Alpha-pinene and d-limonene (compounds known as terpenes) predominate as the volatile compounds in this fruit.

Our Camu-camu has been certified by UK Soil Association and is a product of Peru.

1 teaspoon equals about 180-250mg of Vitamin C.
