Description
Natural Vitamin C from Camu Camu Extract
What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C (also ascorbic acid) is synthesized from D-glucose by higher plants and animals. However, primates (humans, great apes), guinea pigs, elephants and some bird species are not capable of ascorbic acid synthesis because they lack an important enzyme (L-gulonolactone oxidase). In mammals, ascorbic acid is produced in the liver, birds, reptiles and amphibians in the kidney.
Vitamin C has a highly reducing effect and is therefore an effective radical scavengers as an antioxidant, but is very sensitive to atmospheric oxygen and heating. As a coenzyme, it has a key position in the biosynthesis of collagen, therefore the symptoms of scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) consist in disorders of collagen metabolism (cracked skin, tendency to bleeding, changes in bone structure, tooth loss).
Ascorbic acid exerts a protective effect on many vitamins, it promotes iron absorption in the small intestine and is involved in many dioxygenase (e.g. collagen synthesis) and hydroxylation reactions (e.g. formation of glucocorticoids in the adrenal cortex). It strengthens the immune system against bacterial and viral infections by boosting the production of antibodies and the body’s own interferon synthesis (interferons are glycoproteins that have cytostatic properties and provide the body’s own cells with protection against viruses) and influences the function of lymphocytes.
What is Camu Camu?
Camu Camu (also Myrciaria dubia) is the most vitamin C fruit on the planet. Mature fruits of these plants contain 30 – 50 times more vitamin C than oranges and thus serve excellently as a natural source of vitamin C.
The plant is native to the western Amazon region, primarily in Peru. The Camu-Camu shrub is up to six metres high and produces orange-red fruits from December to April.
