Natural Vitamin C versus Synthetic Vitamin C Vitamin C is the most famous and perhaps most important of all vitamins, it cannot be manufactured by the body and must be ingested.
Dr. Szent-Gyorgi won the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1937 for isolating vitamin C and recognizing its important role in human health. In his studies he demonstrated the many benefits of consuming vitamin C in its whole food form. Even though he was the original scientist who isolated ascorbic acid, he insisted that the superior benefits of vitamin C are much more pronounced when consumed from natural foods.
Natural food sources of vitamin C also contain other co-factors which enhance vitamin C’s efficiency and utilization by the body. The natural vitamin C content in Pure Camu is enhanced by a full profile of naturally occurring minerals and amino acids.
In addition to being a concentrated source of natural vitamin C, the Camu Camu fruit presents other important vitamins, including the B-complex vitamins, which support an optimal emotional state.
