Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia)
What it is
An Amazonian berry containing the highest natural concentration of vitamin C of any fruit — up to 60 times more than an orange by weight. One small trial found it significantly reduced inflammation markers more than synthetic vitamin C at equivalent doses, suggesting additional active compounds beyond ascorbic acid. Very limited clinical data. Expensive and mostly available as freeze-dried powder.
Dose
1–3 g/day freeze-dried powder; extremely high natural vitamin C but very limited human trial data
Time of day & tips
Mix freeze-dried powder into a cold drink or smoothie. Avoid adding to hot water — it destroys vitamin C. Morning is ideal to boost immune defence.
