Secret of the Amazon Boosts Immunity with 240% Vitamin C!
May 9th 2014
Traditionally used by indigenous Amazonian people, camu camu is no longer a secret. Scientific researchers are catching on, and now you can see what camu camu can do for you!
Immunity
A strong immune system gives you the power to fight foreign invaders and stay healthy. It’s a well known fact that vitamin C is an effective defense against colds and the flu—one study found that “reported flu and cold symptoms in the test group [taking large doses of vitamin C] decreased 85% compared with the control group.”1
Camu camu is one of the highest botanical sources of vitamin C in the world. Researchers observed that camu camu is an anti-inflammatory that is potentially useful “as a functional food for prevention of immune-related diseases.”2
Who needs a vitamin C supplement when a whole food such as camu camu gives you 240% of your daily RDA of vitamin C in just one teaspoon? That’s equivalent to eating more than four small oranges!3

“I work in a pediatric office, where kids just sneeze and wipe their hands wherever. Someone is always sick in our staff. Since using this camu camu powder I have yet to experience any type of cold/flu symptoms. There is no way I would stop taking this.
