Good for you, good for the planet
Camu Camu is an excellent source of vitamin C. In fact, camu camu is one of the richest sources of natural vitamin C in the world, with more than 50 times that of oranges. Vitamin C is involved in many bodily functions including supporting healthy immune function, iron absorption, collagen production, wound healing, and bone, cartilage and teeth health.
Creating economic opportunities in an otherwise unproductive land, our fairly traded wild harvested Camu Camu Powder provides positive outcomes for small scale Peruvian farmers through economic and social empowerment.

"I love the tang and flavour it adds to my green smoothies (and my salad dressings). The potent vitamin C in camu camu supports my immune system, which is essential with three little kids constantly bringing home germs. Plus, the vitamin C can improve collagen formation which may just help to keep my skin and joints healthy and bones strong. Win win!"
