Every culture has a super high vitamin C content fruit or berry in their lexicon of historically important foods. Amongst Amazonian cultures camu camu berry is that high vitamin C food.

Camu Camu berries are amazing superfruits that are said to contain more vitamin C than nearly any other botanical source; rivalled in this regard only by exotic super fruits like the Kakadu plum of Australia. Camu berries typically have 30 times more vitamin C than oranges. They also contain calcium, amino acids and antioxidants that can help aid in the body's overall health and vitality.

The Indigenous Amazonian people pick the Camu Camu berry (Myciaria dubia) in season, then dry and powder them, turning this purplish-red, cherry-like fruit to a light beige or pink color. It has been traditionally used as a medicinal herb, improving the bodily functions of the brain, eyes, heart, lungs, liver and skin. It is also believed to help ward off the common cold, influenza and other viral diseases, various health conditions such as asthma, edema and heart disease, support strong collagen, tendons and ligaments, decrease inflammation, and help deal with stress and anxiety.

Camu Camu Berry is a traditional superfruit prized by the native peoples of the Amazon and ultimately, sales of this product supports their traditional way of life.
