Dr. Tim's Exotic Juices announces the release of the newest addition to his exotic juice line: Camu Camu.
Sounds so nice, you say it twice: Camu Camu.
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 contains several antidepressant compounds and inflammation-fighting nutrients such as ellagic acid, calcium, thiamin, and phosphorus that protect brain function, helping your body maintain high levels of mood-boosting chemicals, says James Duke, a former botanist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and author of Green Pharmacy Guide to Healing Foods (Rodale, 2009).
HEART CARE: In a study published in the Journal of Cardiology last year, researchers at a Japanese university found that camu camu's multiple heart-protective anti-inflammatories and antioxidants were more powerful than those of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) alone.
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.
Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen, an important structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, and bone. Vitamin C also plays an important role in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine. Neurotransmitters are critical to brain function and are known to affect mood. In addition, vitamin C is required for the synthesis of carnitine, a small molecule that is essential for the transport of fat to cellular organelles called mitochondria, for conversion to energy. Recent research also suggests that vitamin C is involved in the metabolism of cholesterol to bile acids, which may have implications for blood cholesterol levels and the incidence of gallstones .
Vitamin C is also a highly effective antioxidant. Even in small amounts vitamin C can protect indispensable molecules in the body, such as proteins, lipids (fats), carbohydrates, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from damage by free radicals and reactive oxygen species that can be generated during normal metabolism as well as through exposure to toxins and pollutants (e.g. smoking). Vitamin C may also be able to regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin E .
The Linus Pauling Institute recommends a vitamin C intake of at least 400 mg daily—the amount that has been found to fully saturate plasma and circulating cells with vitamin C in young, healthy nonsmokers. Consuming at least five servings (2½ cups) of fruits and vegetables daily may provide about 200 mg of vitamin C. Most multivitamin supplements provide 60 mg of vitamin C. One serving or one ounce of Dr. Tim’s Amazon Camu Camu contains over 400mg of full spectrum vitamin C.
Dr. Tim's Amazon Camu Camu is available in 32 ounce bottles.
Vitamin C found in abundance and ready to fight off cold and flus.
Dr Tim’s Amazon Camu Camu can keep your immune system in optimal condition during cold and flu season. Camu Camu is one of the most potent natural sources for vitamin C. While there is no evidence that vitamin C prevents the common cold, a published summary of research studies suggests that vitamin C may have a modest effect on shortening the duration or lessening the severity of a cold if it is consumed before the onset of illness.1 Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant in its own right. During cold and flu season remember to maintain your vitamin C consumption and understand that it is best to increase your intake of vitamin C. Remember, unlike some vitamins, vitamin C cannot be stored by the body; so, it is important to replenish regularly to stay healthy and avoid the flu this season. Just one tablespoon provides up to 400% of your daily vitamin C requirement. The vitamin C found in Camu Camu is a full spectrum Vitamin C that is readily absorbed by the body. This is important information as we stare down the barrel of the impending H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic.
Vitamin C as an antioxidant
There has recently been some debate as to the status of vitamin C as an antioxidant. One study reported in Nature showed that in some situations this vitamin can function as a pro-oxidant. However most research currently shows vitamin C as a substance that benefits health generally whilst functioning as an antioxidant. It has been found that vitamin C as an aqueous antioxidant can function to scavenge aqueous peroxyl radicals before they have a change to damage lipids (such as those present in cellular membranes and the membranes of Mitochondria).
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.
