Reduce mucus and inflammation...
Camu camu is among the most vitamin-C-dense foods ever measured: 1.41 g per 100 g of cultivated pulp, up to 3.0 g in Amazon-native fruit. A 2017 Nutrients review lays out vitamin C's roles in immune cell function and skin barrier integrity.
For adults who'd rather get vitamin C from a fruit than a lab, and anyone mixing an Adrenal Cocktail. 1/2 lb to 2 lb powder, or 100 to 600 capsules.
- Organic
- Non-GMO
- Whole-Food Vitamin C
- Low-Heat Processed
- Pork-Free Capsule
- No Synthetic Ascorbic Acid
- No Fillers
- No Flow Agents
Why people use it
- Vitamin C from a fruit. One ingredient: organic camu camu, processed at low heat. Not an isolated ascorbate, not fermented on yeast. The fruit's polyphenols come with it.
- One of the most concentrated food sources there is. Published analyses measured 1.41 g of vitamin C per 100 g of cultivated camu camu pulp and 2.4 to 3.0 g per 100 g in Amazon-native fruit. Very little else in the food supply reads like that.
- Supports normal immune function. A 2017 review in Nutrients describes vitamin C accumulating in immune cells and its documented roles in epithelial barrier function, neutrophil activity, and lymphocyte differentiation.
- The tissues that hold the most of it. NIH reports vitamin C concentrations are highest in leukocytes, the eyes, the pituitary, the brain, and the adrenal glands. That tissue distribution is the reason vitamin C sits at the center of the Adrenal Cocktail recipe.
- Required for collagen. Vitamin C is a necessary cofactor in collagen biosynthesis, which is why it sits behind normal skin and connective tissue.
- Supports absorption of nonheme iron. Vitamin C improves uptake of the iron in plant foods. Worth knowing either way; see the note on iron below.
What you're getting (approximate)
Based on the label's stated ~519 mg of vitamin C per teaspoon. Camu camu is a fruit, so content varies with growing region, harvest, and storage.
| Serving | Vitamin C |
|---|---|
| 1 capsule | ~104 mg |
| 1 teaspoon (~5 capsules) | ~519 mg |
Approximate, not a lot-specific assay. The per-teaspoon figure is the label's; the per-capsule figure is derived from the label's own 3 teaspoons to 15 capsules ratio. Published pulp analyses vary widely by origin and storage (Justi et al., 2000). Ask us for the current certificate of analysis.
How to use
- Everyday: 1 tsp in water or juice, up to every 4 hours during waking hours. That's the standard camu camu serving, about 500 mg of whole-food vitamin C per tsp.
- Feeling run down: adults can go up to 3 tsp every 4 hours during waking hours, then return to 1 tsp once you're back to normal.
- Best taken with food or right after a meal; it's tart, so most people stir it into a splash of juice.
- Store cool, dry, and sealed; the powder clumps if it takes on moisture.
Sourcing & making
Organic, non-GMO camu camu fruit powder, produced with a low-heat process because ascorbic acid degrades with heat, light, and time. The label lists roughly 15% vitamin C content, which is consistent with published pulp analyses once you account for drying losses. Capsule orders use USP-grade pork-free bovine capsules; powder is the fruit and nothing else.
Full ingredients
- 100% Organic Non-GMO Camu Camu Vitamin C Fruit Powder
- Lab Tested USP Grade Pork-Free Bovine Capsules (for capsule orders)
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- Adults who want vitamin C from fruit rather than from an isolated ascorbate
- Anyone mixing their own Adrenal Cocktail who needs the vitamin C component by the pound
- Practitioners who want a single-ingredient, organic vitamin C source with a certificate behind it
Probably not for you if:
- You are sensitive to high vitamin C intakes. Diarrhea, nausea, and cramping come from unabsorbed vitamin C; start small.
- You avoid beef-derived ingredients. The capsule shells are bovine gelatin; the powder is not.

Vitamin C
Nutrients · 2017 · mechanistic review
A mechanistic review describing vitamin C's accumulation in immune cells and its documented roles in epithelial barrier function, neutrophil chemotaxis and phagocytosis, and B- and T-cell differentiation, with 100–200 mg/day cited as adequate for normal immune support.
Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) fruit
Nutritional composition and vitamin C stability in stored camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia) pulp
Archivos Latinoamericanos de Nutrición · 2000 · in vitro
A laboratory composition analysis of camu-camu pulp measured 1.41 g vitamin C per 100 g in cultivated fruit and 2.4–3.0 g per 100 g in Amazon-native fruit, with about a 26% loss over 335 days of frozen storage.
Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) fruit powder
Nutrients · 2025 · animal · n=48 rats
In a controlled experiment in 48 Wistar rats, camu-camu powder (46.3 mg GAE/g phenolics; 6.5 mg/g ascorbic acid) combined with resistance exercise increased total antioxidant capacity and nitric oxide levels without cardiac tissue changes.
Evidence note: Strong for vitamin C, which is among the best-characterized nutrients there is, and camu camu's vitamin C density is well documented analytically. Human trials of camu camu itself are still to come, so the page rests on the nutrient and composition data.
A note on iron
Iron is essential, but stored and unbound iron is reactive; it feeds oxidative stress. The body moves iron using copper-dependent ceruloplasmin and vitamin A, which is why we focus on whole-food copper and retinol rather than pushing more iron. If you are considering iron, test your levels first and talk it through with your practitioner. Iron is not right for everyone.

FAQ
Why whole-food vitamin C instead of ascorbic acid?
You get the fruit with it. It's food, dried at low heat, with a number on the label.
How much is in a teaspoon?
Most people use one.
Why does the content vary between lots?
Because it's a fruit. Published analyses report 1.41 g per 100 g of pulp in one growing region and 2.4 to 3.0 g per 100 g in native Amazonian fruit, and ascorbic acid keeps degrading with heat, light, and time after harvest.
Powder or capsules?
About 5 capsules equals a teaspoon. Powder is more economical per gram and lets you adjust the amount; capsules bypass the tartness, which is considerable. Capsule shells are bovine gelatin.
Can kids take it?
Kids: start with 1/4 tsp and scale with size.
Pairs well with
- Adrenal Cocktail — this powder already measured with sea salt and potassium bicarbonate
- Salt of Life — the sea salt half of that same recipe
- Grass-Fed Collagen Protein — collagen alongside the vitamin C its synthesis requires
Cautions
- Capsule versions contain bovine gelatin. Noted if you're following a plant-based diet.
- Store in a cool, dry cupboard, away from heat and light. No refrigeration needed. Best within 12 months of opening.
Lab Tested
Every product. COA on request, ~2 weeks.
Made Fresh to Order
Small batches, packed when you order, not warehoused.
Nothing Hidden
One ingredient, plus a capsule shell if you choose capsules. No fillers or flow agents.
