Camu Camu with a Defined Vitamin C Content

Camu Camu 500 mg brings a fruit-based vitamin C source into a convenient vegetable capsule. Each capsule contains 500 mg of Myrciaria dubia fruit standardized to 20% vitamin C, supplying 100 mg of vitamin C. The formula pairs a clearly stated botanical amount with a specified vitamin C concentration.

Understanding the 20% Standardization

The 500 mg amount refers to the Camu Camu ingredient, not to vitamin C alone. Vitamin C accounts for 20% of that quantity, equivalent to 100 mg per capsule. These are two ways of describing the same ingredient rather than separate amounts to add together.

Fruit Is the Botanical Source

Myrciaria dubia is the botanical name for Camu Camu. This formula uses the fruit, distinguishing it from preparations made with other plant parts. Its defined vitamin C content makes it straightforward to compare the vitamin C amount with other supplement formats.

Clinical Research

itamin C Content and Antioxidant Capacity of Camu Camu (Myrciaria dubia) A Comparative Analysis

Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, 2010

This study examined the vitamin C content and antioxidant capacity of Camu Camu (Myrciaria dubia) fruit compared to other commonly consumed vitamin C sources. The study documented that Camu Camu contains among the highest concentrations of naturally occurring vitamin C of any commonly consumed fruit, with fresh berry pulp containing approximately 1,800 to 2,780mg of vitamin C per 100g. The authors concluded that Camu Camu represents an exceptional natural source of vitamin C and that its antioxidant capacity is attributable to both its vitamin C content and the co-occurring anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and polyphenolic compounds present in the fruit matrix.

Anthocyanins and Polyphenols in Myrciaria dubia Identification, Quantification, and Antioxidant Activity

Food Chemistry, 2013

This study identified and quantified the anthocyanin and polyphenolic compounds present in Camu Camu (Myrciaria dubia) fruit, including cyanidin 3-glucoside, delphinidin 3-glucoside, ellagic acid, and related bioflavonoids. The study documented that these phytonutrients contribute significantly to the total antioxidant capacity of the fruit beyond the contribution of vitamin C alone, and that they are naturally co-occurring within the fruit matrix. The authors concluded that the antioxidant profile of Camu Camu is a composite of its vitamin C content and its diverse polyphenolic compounds, which are absent from isolated synthetic ascorbic acid.

Standardized Camu Camu Extract and Oxidative Stress Markers A Randomized Controlled Trial

Journal of Cardiology, 2008

This randomized controlled trial examined the effect of Camu Camu (Myrciaria dubia) extract supplementation on oxidative stress markers in healthy adults compared to synthetic vitamin C supplementation at an equivalent vitamin C dose. The trial documented that Camu Camu extract supplementation produced a statistically significant reduction in urinary oxidative stress markers compared to synthetic vitamin C at the same vitamin C dose, suggesting that the co-occurring phytonutrients in the Camu Camu fruit matrix contribute to its antioxidant activity beyond the effect of vitamin C alone. The authors concluded that Camu Camu extract has antioxidant activity that is not fully explained by its vitamin C content.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Camu Camu 500mg standardized to 20% vitamin C?

Each capsule contains 500mg of Camu Camu fruit (Myrciaria dubia) standardized to 20% vitamin C, delivering 100mg of naturally occurring vitamin C per capsule alongside the full phytonutrient matrix of the berry anthocyanins, ellagic acid, bioflavonoids, and polyphenols. A standardized extract, not a crude powder.

What is Camu Camu and where does it come from?

Camu Camu (Myrciaria dubia) is a small berry native to the seasonally flooded floodplains of the Amazon basin, primarily in Peru and Brazil. It is one of the highest known natural sources of vitamin C by weight among commonly consumed fruits fresh berries contain approximately 1,800 to 2,780mg of vitamin C per 100g, compared to approximately 50mg per 100g in oranges.

What does standardized to 20% vitamin C mean for Camu Camu?

Standardization guarantees consistent active compound content across every batch. A 20% vitamin C standardization means each 500mg capsule is manufactured to contain exactly 100mg of vitamin C, regardless of natural variation in the raw fruit. This is the key quality distinction between a standardized Camu Camu extract and a crude powder, where vitamin C content can vary significantly between batches and suppliers.

Who is Camu Camu 500mg suitable for?

Adults seeking a naturally occurring, food based source of vitamin C from a standardized Camu Camu extract rather than synthetic ascorbic acid. Suitable for those who want consistent, quantified vitamin C content alongside the full phytonutrient matrix of the berry.

What age group can take Camu Camu capsules?

This product is formulated for adults. Take 1 capsule 1 to 3 times per day with or without food, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Consult a healthcare practitioner before giving to children.

Why choose Camu Camu as a vitamin C source instead of synthetic ascorbic acid?

Synthetic ascorbic acid is isolated vitamin C produced by chemical synthesis. Camu Camu provides naturally occurring vitamin C within the full phytonutrient matrix of the fruit anthocyanins, ellagic acid, bioflavonoids, and polyphenols which are absent from synthetic ascorbic acid. For those specifically seeking a food based, naturally occurring source of vitamin C, Camu Camu is the relevant choice.

Who should not take Camu Camu capsules?

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, or if taking medications. Keep out of reach of children. Stop use if hypersensitivity or allergic reaction occurs.
