Amazon Andes Camu Camu Capsules 500mg - Pure Vitamin C from Peru - 100 Vegetarian Caps

The Power of Camu Camu: Nature's Vitamin C Source

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that the body cannot produce on its own, making dietary intake crucial. While oranges and lemons are well-known sources, camu camu (Myrciaria dubia), a small berry native to the Peruvian , boasts one of the highest naturally occurring vitamin C levels of any fruit. For those seeking a whole-food alternative to synthetic ascorbic acid, camu camu offers a remarkable option. Each Andes capsule contains 500mg of pure, dried whole berry powder, delivering the complete nutritional profile found in fresh fruit.

Why Choose Camu Camu for Vitamin C?

Camu camu berries are wild-harvested from shrubs growing along riverbanks in the seasonally flooded forests of Peru. Indigenous communities have consumed this fruit for generations, valuing it both as a food and as a traditional botanical preparation. The berries are collected during peak fruiting season from December to April, when nutrient density is at its maximum. Sustainable harvesting methods protect the plants and provide fair income to local families. This is not synthetic vitamin C; it is pure, whole-food vitamin C from one of nature’s richest sources.

Types of Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements come in many forms: synthetic ascorbic acid, mineral ascorbates (such as sodium ascorbate), liposomal formulations, and whole-food concentrates. Synthetic versions are often inexpensive but lack the cofactors naturally present in whole foods. Whole-food vitamin C, as found in camu camu, provides the vitamin alongside naturally occurring bioflavonoids, antioxidants, and other phytonutrients that may support absorption and utilisation. For individuals who prefer a more natural approach or have sensitivities to synthetic additives, whole-food sources like camu camu are an excellent choice. Andes Camu Camu Capsules contain no fillers, binders, or flow agents—just pure berry powder in a vegetarian capsule.
