Camu Camu Powder 4 oz - Wildcrafted Premium Grade

Camu Camu is a bush that grows in black water rivers, especially in those abandoned courses called "cochas," ecosystems of great social and economic importance for the Amazonian jungle of Peru. The fruit contains powerful phytochemicals with health benefits, including the amino acids serine, valine, and leucine, and more Vitamin C than any other known plant in the world. The camu-camu fruit is approximately 2 centimeters in diameter and has a purplish red skin with a yellow pulp. Camu camu fruit contains 30 to 60 times more Vitamin C than an orange. It has astringent, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, emollient and nutritional properties, and also contains important levels of beta carotene, calcium, iron, niacin, phosphorus, riboflavin and thiamin.

To produce our pure Camu Camu powder, the fresh berries are carefully harvested from a pristine river basin. They are then taken to an organic processing plant where the berries are washed, pulped and dried at low temperatures. The powder is then sifted so that only the smallest, most bio-available particles pass through. The finished product is a 100% pure dehydrated powder with 18 - 20% naturally-occurring vitamin C content.
