How much vitamin C do we need daily?

Did you know that the National recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C is 60mg?

60mg may help prevent illnesses like scurvy but it’s not enough for optimal health.

Optimum levels:

Many top nutritional experts now support daily Vitamin C intakes of 1000 to 3000mg and more.

An orange has an average of 60mg of vitamin C per 100grams. That’s 11 average sized oranges for 1000mg, 22 for 2000mg or 33 (almost 5kg) for 3000mg! That’s a lot of oranges!!

Camucamu  gives  you an average of 2400mg of vitamin C per 100gr of fresh fruit! Dried  CamuCamu powder can be several  times  stronger!  Andean Harvests  organic  CamuCamu  powder gives you up to 1000mg of Vitamin C per 5gr tsp.! That’s a lot less eating and drinking for a lot more goodness!

Not only vitamin C.

Apart from super levels of vitamin C,  CamuCamu  also contains beta carotene, calcium, iron, niacin, phosphorus, bioflavonoids, riboflavin and various amino acids.

You might say, well why not just take a vitamin C supplement, they are cheaper after all?

True, but:   

1 . Most Vitamin C supplements are synthetic , not natural and they are full of additives and fillers. CamuCamu  is 100% natural!

2 . Mg for mg  CamuCamu’s  natural vitamin C has been shown to be more effective than its synthetic equivalent.

3 . The synthetic  Vitamin C doesn’t contain all the extra goodness and benefits of  CamuCamu.

4 . It’s difficult to make delicious smoothies and desserts from a bottle of vitamin C tablets!

Which brings us to the great ways in which you can use  Camu Camu  in your diet!! See our  recipes for delicious  Camu Camu  smoothies, juices and more.
