Real, Natural Vitamin C from Acerola Cherries
The Acerola cherry tree grows naturally in the West Indies (it's also known as the Barbados cherry), Central America and northern Latin America. Acerola Juice is as common in Brazil and Suriname as Orange Juice is in the United States. Its bright red fruits are the same size as regular cherries and have a pleasant taste.
Famed for its vitamin C content, with as much as 4.5% of vitamin C per fruit (compared to 0.05% per peeled orange) acerola cherries are also rich in vitamin A, magnesium, niacin, potassium, thiamine, iron and calcium. In Suriname, a small country in north-east South America, traditional healers used the leaves to fight dysentery and diarrhea and liver issues, while the fruit was used for the treatment of colds and infections.
Research into the specific health benefits of Acerola Cherry Powder is ongoing, but studies have shown that Vitamin C will:
- Promote a healthy immune system
- Help to prevent colds and infections
- Help to prevent hair loss
- Protect against dental problems
- Promote health and vitality and fight chronic fatigue
- Prevent excessive bleeding and bruising
- Help protect your skin and organs against premature aging
Natural vs Synthetic Vitamin C
Did you know by taking vitamin C supplement products, you might be doing yourself more harm than good? Many vitamin supplements contain synthetic vitamin C; most of this synthesized version isn't used by the body and is expelled in urine causing your kidneys and liver to work hard. To truly benefit from vitamin C, you need the complex real vitamin C, not the synthetic version. Real vitamin C is found in natural foods, just like the acerola cherry.
