Myrciaria dubia. 87% pulp. Among the highest natural vitamin C concentrations of any known fruit.
Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) is an Amazonian fruit with one of the highest natural vitamin C concentrations of any food on earth, significantly higher than oranges gram for gram. This powder is made from 87% camu camu pulp, spray-dried with a carrier blend of prebiotic fiber and acacia gum.
The primary procurement motivation is clean-label vitamin C. Natural channel brands are moving away from synthetic ascorbic acid toward whole-food sources, and camu camu is the most potent available. The polyphenol and carotenoid co-profile means the vitamin C is delivered alongside naturally co-present antioxidants, a distinction that matters for brands targeting sophisticated supplement buyers.
Research has shown that vitamin C from camu camu reduces inflammation and oxidative stress more effectively than synthetic ascorbic acid. The potassium content of camu camu also improves vitamin C bioavailability. These are meaningful formulator claims for immune and antioxidant supplement categories.
Myrciaria dubia, sourced from the Amazonian basin. Small, round, red-orange berries with exceptional vitamin C concentration.
Brands using synthetic ascorbic acid face increasing pressure from natural channel buyers. Camu camu provides a whole-food vitamin C source with a meaningful co-antioxidant profile.
