CAMU-CAMU

DESCRIPTION

Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia (Kunth) McVaugh) is a shrub native to the Amazon rainforest. Its fruit is very rich in vitamin C: its vitamin content is even higher than acerola's!

Camu camu fruit also contains carotenoids, flavonoids and ellagitannins, which, together with vitamin C, contribute to its high antioxidant potency and anti-inflammatory properties.

Our organic camu camu is the best option for giving our diet a boost of naturally occurring antioxidants! Contains at least 5 g of vitamin C per 100 g of product. Just one gram of our camu camu provides 62,5 % of NRVs*.

ORIGIN

Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia (Kunth) McVaugh, Myrtaceae family) is a shrub native to the Peruvian Amazon that commonly grows on the banks of the quebradas* and cochas** of the Amazonian basin. It can grow to a height of 3m (1) and its fruits are red berries of around 2.5 cm diameter, and with high vitamin C content (2). The pulp of camu camu berries is pinkish and very acidic (1).

It is a very important fruit to the economy of the Amazon region, as it grows in areas generally not suitable for cultivating other plant species (3), and its high vitamin C content gives it great economic potential.

Because of its high acidity, the fruit is not eaten directly, but is usually consumed in juices, purees and pulp powder (1). It is also used to produce vitamin C capsules (3).

*Quebrada: Gully or stream that runs through a gorge.

**Cocha: Lagoon, shallow lake.

CAMU-CAMU

HISTORY

Camu camu grows in the Bolivian, Brazilian, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Peruvian and Venezuelan Amazon. Its name comes from the indigenous Tupi language, and according to popular tradition ‘camu camu' is the sound produced by fish when they eat the fruit that falls into the water. Camu camu is still used in the Amazon as bait in fishing (4).

COMPOSITION

Camu camu fruit is a very rich source of vitamin C and contains phenolic compounds (flavonoids, ellagic acid etc.) and carotenoids that offer numerous health benefits (2, 5-6).

Camu camu is also rich in potassium, a mineral that can accelerate the intestine's absorption of vitamin C (5). Other minerals present in camu camu are sodium, calcium, magnesium, manganese and copper (1).

Our organic camu camu contains at least 5 g of vitamin C per 100 g of product. Just one gram of camu camu pulp provides 62.5 % of NRVs*.

STUDIES

Camu camu's high vitamin C content makes it a fruit with high nutritional value. One study evaluating the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of camu camu juice in smokers found that the positive effects of camu camu juice were greater than the same dose of vitamin C taken in tablets (5). Based on currently available data, it has been found that consuming camu camu can be a good option for maintaining a balanced immune response and the antioxidant activity that mediates inflammatory processes (1).

Finally, camu camu also has other health benefits. Thanks to the pulp's phenolic compound content, camu camu has been found to exhibit antibacterial activity and potential antidiabetic action, by inhibiting the enzyme activity of alpha-glucosidase, an enzyme whose inhibition helps reduce postprandial (after meals) blood glucose levels (6).
