Acerola is as common and popular in Brazil as orange juice is in North America. A cherry-like fruit, it is one of the richest known natural sources of Vitamin C - it contains 30-40 times more Vitamin C than an orange. The Acerola possesses many health benefits:
- Antioxidant - Acerola's high content of Vitamin C provides one of nature's most potent antioxidants.
- Immune support - Acerola is a rich source of Vitamin C, bioflavonoids, carotenoids, and other vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients which help support our immune systems.
- Nutritive - Acerola has two times more magnesium, pantothenic acid and potassium than oranges. Acerola also includes Vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin.
- Skin Tonic - Acerola contains mineral salts that have shown to aid in the re-mineralisation of tired and stressed skin, and its many proteins help hydrate our skin.
