ACEROLA CHERRIES - CALIFORNIA

These bright red cherries are one of the richest sources of vitamin C, and as it is food state – rather than synthetically manufactured – it is easily and completely absorbed, and can be retained for 48 hours.

Chemical vitamin C is only retained for 3 or 4 hours. All cells need vitamin C to perform their functions efficiently.

Vitamin C plays a vital role in the immune system and is required in very large quantities for optimum health all over the body. 

The most stable, reliable and concentrated natural source of Vitamin C.

Organic acerola cherries have been recognised as a quality source of vitamin C complex nutrients for 100 years or more. SuperFood Plus uses only 100% organic Acerola cherries. They are picked in their most potent stage of development and not produced in a factory in chemical chambers. This means our acerola also contains other naturally occurring nutrients like betacarotene, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin, iron, phosphorous, calcium and bioflavonids, making it a broad spectrum vitamin C complex. The vitamin C is also stabilized by organic manioc root powder instead of synthesized maltodextrin or other anti–caking or flowing agents.

The vitamin C content of these ripe acerola cherries is so potent, they account for almost 90% of the vitamin C content of SuperFood Plus. Acerola cherries are 42 times richer in vitamin C than oranges.
Vitamin C is essential to your immune system. Your white blood cells need vitamin C to effectively attack viruses and other pathogens, as well as breaking down any drugs or chemicals your body considers to be ‘foreign substances’. It also helps your body and liver to detoxify alcohol and other toxic substances.
A vitamin C deficiency will lead to a depleted immune system, leaving you open to sickness and infection. It will also slow the healing process of wounds.

Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant and is needed for the production of collagen, the ‘glue’ that strengthens the body’s muscles and blood vessels. It also scavenges potentially harmful molecules called free radicals that can cause oxidative damage in the body.

Vitamin C also enhances iron absorption from non–meat sources.
The chemical carnitine is dependent on vitamin C to help it move sugars into your cells to create energy.
