Acerola Vitamin C Powder - 100% Organic
50g
Acerola is native to northern South America, Central America, and Jamaica, Florida and Texas. The fruit of the Acerola Cherry tree, Malpighia punicifolia L. is rich in Vitamin C and carotenoids, with the cherry-like fruits being one of the richest known natural sources of vitamin C.
The fresh fruit can contain up to 4000mg Vitamin C per gram of fresh weight. Oranges provide 500 to 4,000 parts per million Vitamin C or ascorbic acid, while Acerola assays in the range of 16,000 to 172,000 parts per million.
Acerola has exceedingly high content of the bioflavonoids rutin and hesperidin, the antioxidant components of vitamin C.
Acerola is also extremely rich in magnesium and potassium.
