🌿Why Choose Acerola as Your Vitamin C Source?

Acerola (Malpighia emarginata) is a small red fruit native to tropical regions of the Americas and is naturally exceptionally rich in vitamin C. This makes it particularly interesting for people who prefer to obtain their daily vitamin C from an organic whole-fruit source rather than choosing a conventional vitamin C supplement.

The fruit powder in these capsules is standardised to 17% vitamin C. Three capsules provide 127 mg vitamin C, equivalent to 158% of the daily Reference Intake.

🌿When Is Acerola Particularly Interesting?

Vitamin C is needed every day because the body cannot produce it itself. Acerola can therefore be a useful daily choice, particularly when you want to focus on:

Tiredness and energy: Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.

Immune function: Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, making acerola particularly relevant during seasonal changes and other periods when you want to pay extra attention to your vitamin C intake.

Skin and collagen: Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin. This is one reason vitamin C is particularly interesting as part of a nutritional routine focused on maintaining healthy skin.

Joints, cartilage and bones: Collagen is not only important for the skin. Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and bones, giving it an important nutritional role for the body's structural tissues.

Gums, teeth and blood vessels: Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of gums, teeth and blood vessels.

Iron absorption: Vitamin C increases iron absorption. This makes acerola especially interesting alongside meals containing iron, including plant-based sources of iron.

Oxidative protection: Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, helping the body's antioxidant defence against reactive molecules produced as part of normal metabolism and through exposure to everyday environmental factors.

🌿What Makes Acerola Different from Ordinary Vitamin C?

The main difference is the source.

Many vitamin C supplements contain isolated ascorbic acid. This product instead uses organic acerola fruit powder, naturally containing vitamin C. You are therefore taking powdered acerola fruit as the ingredient, rather than a formula built around isolated vitamin C.

That makes it a particularly attractive choice for customers who want a simple, plant-based and organic source of vitamin C while still receiving a meaningful daily amount: 127 mg, or 158% RI, from three capsules.

🌿A Simple Daily Supplement

There is no complicated formula here. Each capsule contains 250 mg organic acerola fruit powder, enclosed in a vegetable HPMC capsule.

3 capsules per day to be swallowed with a large glass of water during meals. It is recommended not to exceed the recommended daily dose.

One box of 200 capsules lasts approximately 66 days.

Acerola (Malpighia emarginata), also known as the Barbados cherry or West Indian cherry, is a small tropical fruit native to the Americas. Although its common names associate it with the Caribbean, acerola has become particularly important in Brazil, which is now one of the world's major producers of the fruit.

For generations, acerola has been eaten fresh and prepared as juices and other traditional preparations in the regions where it grows. Its bright red fruits became especially valued for their remarkable nutritional composition and naturally high vitamin C content.

Interest in acerola grew considerably during the 20th century as researchers began analysing the fruit more closely and recognised it as an exceptionally concentrated natural source of vitamin C. This transformed acerola from a locally appreciated tropical fruit into an ingredient sought after internationally for foods and nutritional supplements.

Today, acerola is cultivated extensively in Brazil and used around the world as a plant-based source of vitamin C. The acerola in these capsules is organically grown in Brazil, continuing the story of a remarkable South American fruit that has found a place in modern everyday nutrition.

This food supplement should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of children.

Protect from heat and humidity.

🌿 Why choose Acerola instead of a conventional vitamin C supplement?
Acerola provides vitamin C naturally from the fruit of Malpighia emarginata. It is a good choice if you prefer an organic, plant-based source of vitamin C rather than a supplement based on isolated vitamin C. The daily serving provides 127 mg vitamin C, or 158% of the Reference Intake.

🌿 How much Acerola should I take each day?
Take 3 capsules per day, swallowed with a large glass of water during meals. This provides 750 mg organic acerola fruit powder, including 127 mg vitamin C.

🌿 How long does one box last?
The box contains 200 capsules. At the recommended intake of 3 capsules per day, one box lasts approximately 66 days.

🌿 Is Acerola only interesting for the immune system?
No. Vitamin C has several important roles in the body. In addition to contributing to normal immune function, it helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, protects cells from oxidative stress and contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin, cartilage, bones, gums, teeth and blood vessels.

🌿 Why is Acerola interesting for the skin?
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin. Collagen is an important structural protein in the skin, which is why adequate vitamin C intake is relevant when nutrition for the skin is part of your focus.

🌿 Can I take Acerola together with an iron supplement?
Yes. This is actually a particularly useful combination because vitamin C increases iron absorption. Acerola can therefore be taken alongside an iron supplement or with an iron-containing meal.
