The vitamin-rich superfruit
The acerola cherry, originating from Brazil, is one of the fruits richest in vitamin C.
100 grams of fresh fruit contain between 1,700 and 5,000 milligrams of vitamin C. In comparison, the same amount of oranges or lemons, often called vitamin C bombs, only contain about 50 milligrams of vitamin C. In addition, the fruit contains many other vital substances, including vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. This mix with secondary plant compounds makes acerola so valuable.
What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is one of the most well-known micronutrients. This water-soluble vitamin cannot be produced by our body and must therefore be supplied regularly. It is considered a key molecule for the entire cell metabolism. Vitamin C is mainly known for its positive properties on the immune system. However, it also plays an important role in collagen formation and in the function of the entire energy metabolism.
For whom is Vitamin C particularly important?
Vitamin C intake is especially important for people who do not get enough of this vitamin through their diet or who have increased needs. Our tasty acerola chewable tablets are of consistent quality and are also ideal for children.
