As the human organism does not produce vitamin C by itself, we depend on additional supplies of this vitamin.

Under certain conditions such as stress and physical strain, our demand for vitamin C increases rapidly. For example: to absorb 1 gram of vitamin C, one would have to eat more than 2 kg of freshly picked oranges per day. This need can be covered by approx. 6 g (1 ½ teaspoons) of our acerola powder. For persons with an allergic reaction to citrus fruits, our acerola extract can be an ideal solution as well.

Production of Acerola Powder: Our acerola extract is produced in a gentle spraying process, from sun-ripened acerola fruits. Vitamin C is an extremely sensitive substance, therefore treatment and storage methods are very important since light, air and heat exposure could damage this vital substance.

Origin of the Acerola Fruit: The acerola fruit (Malpighia punicifolia), also called cherry of the Antilles, originates from Central America and Brazil where it still grows today. The acerola bush can reach a height of up to 3 metres and 80% of the fruit is a juice with an exceptionally high content of vitamin C. It is the fruit with the worlds second-highest vitamin C content!
