Camu Camu fruit has the highest recorded amount of natural vitamin C. Several studies document the correlation between vitamin C deficiency and depression. Vitamin C also has broad-spectrum antioxidant properties. Camu Camu packs over 30 times more the Vitamin C than oranges. Additionally it has 10 times the Iron, 3 times the niacin, 2 times the riboflavin and 50% more phosphorous than oranges. Camu Camu is also rich in beta-carotens, calcium, leucine, protein, serine, thiamin and valine.

Camu-Camu (Myrciaria dubia) is the name of a bush which grows in the Amazonian rain forest from Peru to Brazil. The Camu-Camu bush produces a fruit with the same name which 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 has a surprising range of therapeutic effects. Many people have stopped using large dosages of synthetic Vitamin C because they find that Camu-Camu is energizing, mood-lifting and highly effective in strengthening the immune system. The Camu-Camu fruit is about the size of a large grape and has a purplish red skin with a yellow pulp. It has a very tart taste. It is highly valued in the Amazon for its potent vitamin C content.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid and is a water-soluble vitamin. Unlike most mammals, humans do not have the ability to make their own vitamin C. Therefore, we must obtain vitamin C through our diet.
