Camu camu powder with 15% vitamin C content The camu camu fruit has the highest documented natural vitamin C content of any food on earth. Compared to oranges, camu camu provides 30-60 times more vitamin C, 10 times more iron, 3 times more niacin, twice as much riboflavin and 50% more phosphorus! Camu camu contains 2-3g of vitamin C per 100g of fresh fruit and around 10-12g per 100g of dried powder. That doesn't seem like much compared to synthetic vitamin C supplements, but the vitamin C in camu camu is a naturally occurring, highly bioavailable form and works synergistically in the body for maximum benefit. Why Consume Camu Camu Powder? We have found camu camu to energize and uplift and improve mood. It helps us stay active and in a good mood throughout the day. A pretty amazing effect for such a small berry. We all know about the great health value of vitamin C, and since there is camu camu, we can dispense with artificial, synthetic forms entirely. For people like us, who are always on the lookout for what nature has to offer, this is a blessing. The berry is 100% natural and a powerful, highly concentrated food. Due to its natural origin and in combination with other vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids and amino acids, the vitamin C contained in camu camu is fully absorbed by the body, which is not the case with synthetic vitamin C. What makes our camu camu powder special? SamaraNatura Camu Camu (scientific name: Myrciaria dubia) grows wild in the Peruvian Amazon. The berries are harvested directly into boats equipped with freezing systems. The boats travel the waterways of the Amazon where the fruit is picked at full maturity and flash frozen. At a processing plant, the fruit is then thawed, peeled, liquefied and spray dried. The resulting powder is pale pink to yellow-brown and has powerful ingredients. We receive our camu camu in the form of a pure, unadulterated powder with an orange-light brown colour. It takes about 15kg of berries to make 1kg of powder, which contains 10-12% vitamin C by weight. Therefore, it takes very little to stock up on an effective dose of antioxidants. Camu camu powder: Often different vitamin C content We would like to point out that the vitamin C content of camu camu powder varies greatly. For example, there is also camu camu with only 5-6% vitamin C. When comparing, pay attention to the vitamin C content, because the lower the product, the cheaper it should be. Influence on sustainable development of the Amazon basin We also like that the growing popularity of Camu Camu is contributing to the sustainable development of the Amazon Basin and helping locals maintain their traditional lifestyle. How to use camu camu powder? Like other superfoods, camu camu is very easy to use. Simply mix the powder into your smoothie in the morning or an afternoon pick-me-up drink. Camu camu has a fairly acidic taste, although it does not have an acidifying effect on the body and is easier on the stomach than synthetic ascorbic acid. It therefore tastes best when mixed with other ingredients. Add about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (2-3 g) to juices, smoothies, ice cream, raw desserts, or simply to your drinking water. It's a great way to balance out the sweetness in fruit smoothies and desserts. Tip: Camunade is a refreshing drink that gives you a good vitamin C boost. Simply sprinkle a teaspoon of camu camu into a glass of cold water (sparkling or still), add a squeeze of lime juice and some sweetener (e.g. agave or yacon syrup) and shake briefly. You can increase the daily amount if necessary (spread the intake over the day), but diarrhea symptoms indicate that you are taking too much camu camu.

Suma – Brazilian Ginseng (Pfaffia paniculata) The suma root is also known as "Brazilian ginseng" because of its adaptogenic properties, but it does not belong to the ginseng family, but to the foxtail family. Why consume suma? Suma contains a range of nutrients including 19 amino acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, E, K, pantothenic acid, iron, silicon, magnesium, zinc and antioxidant saponins. What is important is its relatively high proportion of germanium, a powerful antioxidant that can scavenge free radicals and highly reactive oxygen compounds at the cellular level. Antioxidants are important for cell maintenance and function. Suma is known to improve cellular oxygenation and energy efficiency, and to promote performance and endurance. For example, Russian Olympic athletes take Suma to build muscle and improve their condition without the negative effects of steroids. Known in Brazil as “para tudo” (for everything), Suma has been used by the Amazonians for hundreds of years and has traditionally been used to enhance sexual power and raise the body's energy levels. Recommendations for use You can mix suma powder into smoothies, fruit juices and dairy drinks, or use it as an ingredient in granola, homemade chocolate and other foods. We recommend starting with half a teaspoon and increasing to one level teaspoon per day after a week. Due to the special adaptogenic properties, Suma should only be taken when needed and not over a long period of time. We recommend a maximum of 1 month and then a break of at least 1 month. Note: In the event of medical treatment, pregnancy or if you are unsure, ask a specialist about the use of this product.
