MYRCIARIA DUBIA

CAMU CAMU FRUIT

Camu Camu Fruit originates from the Myrciaria dubia shrub, which thrives in the flooded areas of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru. This small, sour fruit has recently burst onto the global health scene, but indigenous Amazonian communities have treasured it for centuries both as a food source and for its medicinal properties. The standout feature of camu camu is its extraordinarily high vitamin C content, with concentrations up to 60 times that of an orange. Beyond vitamin C, the fruit is packed with a plethora of other antioxidants, amino acids, and essential minerals. From a health perspective, camu camu's rich vitamin C content bolsters the immune system, aids in the absorption of iron, and promotes collagen synthesis for bone, cartilage, and muscle health. When it comes to skincare, camu camu is a powerhouse. The high antioxidant content helps combat free radicals, thereby reducing the signs of aging and promoting a radiant complexion. Vitamin C, being pivotal for collagen production, aids in maintaining skin elasticity and can brighten the skin, reducing the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone. As the beauty industry increasingly leans into nature-driven ingredients, camu camu stands out, encapsulating the lush vitality of the Amazon and delivering potent benefits for both health and beauty.
