Good antioxidant and source of vitamin C
This stuff tastes like it has a lot of vitamin C in it, which it does indeed. It’s considered to be an antioxidant and good for immune support. I found this on the web: “Camu camu is used for viral infections including herpes, cold sores, shingles, and the common cold. It is also used for eye conditions including cataracts and glaucoma. Other uses include treatment of asthma, “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis), chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, gum disease (gingivitis), headaches, and osteoarthritis.”<br /><br />Whether or not it treats any of these conditions, I do believe it’s a good natural source of vitamin C and bioflavonoids. It’s strong stuff, so go easy on it, otherwise your smoothie will be overly tangy.
