What's the To Do about Camu Camu?

Camu Camu (Kuhh-Moo Kuhh-Moo)

Camu Camu is a shrub-grown fruit that grows in the rain forests of the Amazon. 

The leaves and fruit both have medicinal value. 

In the United States, Camu Camu is most readily available in a powder form (as the fruit itself is very fragile and does not ship well)

Packed with 50 times more Vitamin C than oranges and high in free radical fighting antioxidants. 

1 teaspoon of Camu Camu powder 

contains over 600 mg of Vitamin C!

(Recommended Brands of Camu Camu Powder: 

Terrasoul, Navitas and Pure Radiance)

Why is Vitamin C so important?

Vitamin C, in its natural form, is a water soluble antioxidant 

(a very potent one at that!) 

Many people are Vitamin C deficient. 

Our bodies can put Vitamin C to work in many different ways. 

It is great for:

• immune health 
• wound healing
• adrenal health 
• skin health
• inflammation
• macular degeneration 
• gum disease (which is directly linked to heart disease) 
• depression
• liver health 
• and much more!

Vitamin C Protocol

For a healthy adult, a daily dose of 1 teaspoon (about 5 grams)

of Camu Camu powder is a great start!

{1/2 teaspoon for children}  

 Vitamin C is absorbed and used within 30-60 minutes of taking it, for this reason, you need to keep it in your body by taking doses every 1 - 2 hours (except while sleeping) 

Your tolerance for Vitamin C will lower, the healthier you are. If you have major health problems or a serious sickness, your body can handle as much as 100-200 grams per day. 

The simple way of finding your Vitamin C tolerance is to start by taking 4-15 grams in small doses, (that would be 4,000 to 15,000 mg total), over a 24 hour time span and if that causes bowel issues such as: gas, soft stool or diarrhea, then back off the dose, you’ve reached your limit.
