Are you looking for better antioxidant foods?

In the Amazon River flood plains between Brazil and Peru grows a bushy tree – Myrciaria dubia- usually called Camu-Camu.  When the fragrant , white waxy petals drop this tree develops small red/purple colored fruit that looks similar to a cherry. Among plant experts , camu-camu is valued for its astringent, antioxidant , antiviral, anti-inflammatory , analgesic and emollient and nutritional characteristics and additionally is a source of protein, phosphorus , iron, niacin , thiamin riboflavin , calcium, beta-carotene , and 3 different amino acids. It’s an abundant source of flavinoids.

Those who use Camu-camu because of  its vitamin C have found that just one to two grams of this naturally present vitamin C is a better immune system booster than mega doses of commercial synthetic products . Camu-camu is about two to three percent Vitamin C by fresh weight, which is an exceptional concentration and demonstrates Camu-camu’s value as an antioxidant food .  And, as you are probably aware, antioxidants are vital when it comes to my two other favorite “antis” anti- inflammatory and anti-aging.

Camu-camu is now being studied to assess its emotion balancing components . As appearing in the Clinician’s Handbook of Natural Healing (1998) by Gary Null, Ph.D. Camu-camu is number two in terms of its potential mood balancing properties. While these connections have not been absolutely researched , it seems that Camu-camu could give nutritional support for the brain’s own manufacturer of mood balancing chemicals .  And , findings have been published linking vitamin C and a higher level of serotonin.

Dr Mike Adams, ( kknown as the Health Ranger) had this to state about Camu-Camu:
“I’ll tell you a secret about camu. Camu-camu is the highest natural source of vitamin C in the world. And it’s not just one isolated chemical (ascorbic acid), it’s the full orchestra of conserving antioxidants. My research on this herb , based in part of the works of Dr. James Duke, leads me to the conclusion that camu-camu crosses the blood-brain barrier and offers breathtaking endorsement to the nervous system. There’s no question in my mind that this product can drastically reduce eye disorders, including macular degeneration, as well as protect the brain and nervous system from degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia.”
