The Huffington Post says “move over, acai: there’s a new Brazilian superstar fruit in town”. Read why here. It’s a traditional super fruit used by the indigenous people of the amazon and a nutritional powerhouse. This wild crafted berry is still harvested by traditional means and is nature’s richest source of whole food Vitamin C in addition to other antioxidants such as anthocyanins, flavonols and ellagic acid. The Camu Camu Berry available at Better Living in Toronto have an incredibly high ORAC value (measure of a food’s antioxidant capacity) of 3,000 per 5 gram serving. Even Dr. Oz has gone as far as to say “A little berry from South America might just be our missing fountain of youth.”
Some of the health benefits of whole food vitamin C are:
- Development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums
- Eye health
- Collagen production
- Healthy glowing skin
- Wound healing
- Immune enhancing
- Cancer prevention
Why Natural Traditions Camu Camu Berry?
Natural Traditions offers the highest quality, purest Camu Camu available in the most concentrated form. 30 pounds of fresh wild crafted Camu Camu berries makes one pound of finished Camu Camu powder. One teaspoon of the concentrated powder provides approximately 12 times the RDI of Vitamin C or 720mg of whole food Vitamin C, while one capsule provides 75-100mg of whole food Vitamin C. A cold drying process is used so as not to degrade the delicate antioxidants found in the berry and there are no fillers or sweeteners added.
Camu Camu berry powder tends to have a sour taste so is often taken mixed into smoothies. The staff at Better Living in Toronto are trained to help you make the right choice for all your supplement needs including determining if Natural Traditions Camu C is right for you.
