Organic Camu Camu Powder, 3.5 Oz, Amazonian Superfruit for Immune Support, Smoothie Boost, and Vitamin C Antioxidant-Rich Recipes

I used this in treating my first UTI in 10 years. I REALLY did not want to go on antibiotics and decided to give this a try. I had been taking d mannose and it wasn’t 100% gone so I added in Camu Camu. After a few days, my symptoms were gone. I was seriously amazed. I have also been using it when I first notice symptoms of a cold. I truly believe that the high dosage of vitamin C and the fact that it’s food-based and more bio-available make it very potent at fighting infections and viruses. The only con is that it. tastes. awful. AWFUL. I was taking it mixed in a little bit of water as a shot and it was rough, it’s super bitter and sour. I am someone that enjoys taking shots of ACV, so maybe that can speak to the level of gross-ness. A friend of mine mixes it into her smoothies but I wouldn’t run the risk of ruining a smoothie. Honestly, because it works so well, I don’t mind the terrible taste, but if you’re someone that is sensitive, you might want to put it in capsules.

Great Superfood powder to sprinkle on anything for a healthy boost

I bought this product years ago and opted not to buy it again because I was ignorant about how to use it. I haven't found a decent-quality vitamin C product since then, so I thought I'd give it another shot. Firstly, I placed the powder in a wide-mouthed opaque container (for easier dispensing). I now split the dosage in half because I found out your body can't absorb more than about 200 mg. of vitamin C in one meal (wait 5 or 6 hours before consuming the other half). A mini whisk (Tovolo 6" mini whisk has insane quality) makes it a cinch to mix in a few seconds (otherwise, you have to fight with a little clump that sits on the water). I mix it with about an ounce of water and a drop of stevia (solved the harsh, tart taste). All my previous problems with this product have been solved. Yaaay!!!

Of course, I bought this Camu Camu for its benefits. I've been having different things for about two years, from cancer to breaking bones. Most medications have so many side effects. At one point one just need to get over it. Using superfoods is the most natural way. Superfoods is a marketing label used to name foods that are high in vitamins and minerals, etc. Recently I read a study that suggested humans absorb vitamins way better through eating healthy food (vs. pills) So this powder arrived this morning in an envelope of proper size. The Camu Camu container bag has a zipper, but the zipper didn't work. It was funny the feeling I had just before trying it for the first time. I had no idea how to consume this "stuff". Could I add it to my coffee? Will I be happy with my cup of coffee if I do that? Well, it has a tart taste but not strongly bitter. I mentioned my health issues. What brought me to Camu Camu (the first superfood I try) are its many various ingredients and benefits. In short it seems Camu Camu is loaded with iron, niacin, riboflavin, phosphorus, potassium, beta-carotene, calcium and amino acids, like leucine, serine, thiamine and valine. Vitamin C: Massive amounts of vitamin C. One teaspoon of camu camu powder has 1180 per cent of your recommended daily intake. Vitamin C is used to stimulates blood cell production, works as an anti-inflammatory, boost the immune system, is key component of collagen used to repair and develop cells, tissue and organs, like gum health among others. Valine: An amino acid used to prevent muscle breakdown, great for the nervous system and cognition. Potassium: Required for the proper functioning of the heart Leucine: An amino acid used for muscle and bone tissue growth and recovery and the production of growth hormones. Serine: Another amino acid, for digestion. Serine helps breaking down the bonds of proteins and polypeptides. Flavonoids: natural flavoring and coloring, helpful as antioxidant and neutralizing harmful free radicals. Gallic Acid: natural anti-fungal and anti-viral. Ellagic Acid: antioxidant. Which translates into various properties for the repair and wellbeing of our bodies: -Cognitive: Increases memory, attention and concentration. Prevents cognitive deterioration such as those in dementias (ie Alzheimer). -As an anti/inflammatory agent helps soothe arthritis, hemorrhoids, headaches. -Lots of antioxidants that help prevent cancer. -Sedative for balancing mood swings and soothe anxiety and depression, like during menopause. -Antiviral and antibacterial that boosts our immune system. -Infertility prevention. -Boost metabolism and helps protect and grow muscle tone. -Generous in vitamin A (carotenoids) to prevent eye deterioration -Rebuilds collagen in tissue, which would make your face glow and your hair shine in an overall younger look. Who shouldn't take Camu Camu: Everyone should check with their doctors or let them know you are taking this superfood. Check the ingredients of other vitamins you are taking and avoid overload. As with anything, having too much can be as bad as having too little. Studies suggest excessive amount of vitamin C result in digestive ulcers and kidney problems. I'm planning to take a break every so many days. In his website Dr Oz suggest pregnant women and individuals that are undergoing chemotherapy should be specially careful when taking Camu Camu. How to take it? Straight up for some, or any type of smoothie, jello, ice-cream... If you want to mix it with juice or something else, be aware that Camu Camu doesnt disolve as quick as sugar. Just be patient and let it rest in the juice for a while. That worked for me. I bought my Camu Camu at full price. If you found this review to be useful, please let me know. I don't get anything from it other than the pleasure of knowing I've been helpful.

Best Camu Camu I’ve tried so far. The longer it’s blended the sweeter it tastes. Much like a nice fruit juice!
