Camu Camu Powder comes from a nutrient dense berry similar to Goji Berries and grows in the Peruvian Amazon. Camu Camu is pink and tastes a bit like lemon sherbet - slightly sour and fizzy.
Camu Camu has the richest source of natural Vitamin C than any known botanical on the planet. Camu Camu also has anti-viral and immune-boosting properties, and is a great source of minerals - including Iron, Niacin, Phosphorous, Potassium, Riboflavin, and Beta-carotene.

Camu-Camu fruit is about the size of a large grape and has a purplish red skin with a yellow pulp. It grows wild, is harvested directly into a freezer boat, which travels down the river ways of the Amazon where the fruit is picked at the height of its ripeness and flash-frozen. It is then taken to a processing plant where it is thawed, peeled, liquefied and spray dried. The resulting powder is a pale pink to yellow beige with very potent effects.
Published research suggests that Vitamin C supports an increased Serotonin level in the brain. Some healthcare practitioners have reported that Camu-Camu has same day mood-balancing effects.
There are no side effects such as photo-sensitivity or gastrointestinal problems, and Camu Camu can be used safely in combination with pharmaceutical antidepressants.
There have been no reports of its interference with the effectiveness of any pharmaceutical drugs.
Camu Camu is very energising, and combines wonderfully with other superfoods like Cacao, Bee Pollen and Goji Berries.
Many people report that just 1/3 tsp. daily is sufficient to significantly increase their wellness.
Add to smoothies, shakes, desserts and breakfasts.
