Camu Camu Powder, 3.5oz, Organic, Raw

Carefully hand-picked and dried from the South American rainforest, Sunfood Camu Camu powder is 100% certified organic and raw with no additives or fillers! Camu Camu berries are amazing superfruits that are said to contain more vitamin C than any other known botanical source. It is estimated to have 30 times more vitamin C than oranges along with calcium, amino acids and antioxidants that can help aid in the body’s overall health and vitality.

The Indigenous Amazonian people pick the Camu Camu berry (Myciaria dubia) in season, then dry and powder them, turning this purplish-red, cherry-like fruit to a light beige color. It has been traditionally used as a medicinal herb, improving the bodily functions of the brain, eyes, heart, lungs, liver and skin. It is also believed to help ward off the common cold, influenza and other viral diseases, various health conditions such as asthma, edema and heart disease, support strong collagen, tendons and ligaments, decrease inflammation, and help deal with stress and anxiety.

Camu Camu powder also provides a tangy taste that is great for adding to smoothies and desserts, or combining with other Sunfood products.

Powerful Antioxidant Review by Rufus

Excellent product for protecting the body from colds and all types of invaders. I take camu camu in combination with MSM in a glass of water. The taste is horribly strong but worth the sacrifice. Can already tell a difference is the appearance of my skin and hair. The combination of MSM and camu camu has a cleansing effect on my digestive system as well. My brain activity and mental clarity is heightened making it difficult to sleep initially but mybody has adjusted and there's no more problems sleeping well through the night. Lastly, my energy levels have increased as well. (Posted on 10/6/11)
