Only California Academy of Health adds the Amazonian camu-camu fruit to their goji juice. It’s a one-two punch! Each ounce of our Goji Fusion with camu-camu, supplies 250mg of natural vitamin C and all four unique goji polysaccharides.
Vitamin C in camu-camu
Like the late Linus Pauling, Ph.D., many herbalists and physicians suggest taking 500 milligrams of vitamin C four times a day for the relief of symptoms. Several studies done by Elliot Dick, Ph.D., epidemiologist at the Respiratory Virus Research Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin in Madison have shown that it works. (Some people develop diarrhea after taking as little as 1,200 milligrams of vitamin C a day, but this is rare. If you’d like to try this therapy, cut back on the amount of vitamin C if you develop diarrhea). I take vitamin C for colds, but I do it without using many pills. I prefer to get mine from camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia), the Amazonian fruit that has the world’s highest vitamin C content.

A good deal of research demonstrates that vitamin C has mucus-thinning properties and helps treat all manner of respiratory conditions. In that case, I must put in a good word for camu-camu, the Amazonian fruit with the world’s highest vitamin C content. On a dry-weight basis, it is nearly 4 percent vitamin C. That may not sound like much, but lemons have only 0.56 percent, and no other high-C fruit or vegetable comes close to camu-camu. That said, I must add that camu-camu is not readily available in the United States, although I’m working on it and expect it will be available sometime within the next few years.

Until the plant camu-camu appeared on the scene, acerola was considered the richest known source of natural vitamin C. Oranges provide 500 to 4,000 parts per million (ppm) of vitamin C, or ascorbic acid whereas acerola has been found in tests to provide ascorbic acid in a range of 16,000 to 172,000 ppm. Acerola can contain up to 4.5 percent vitamin C, compared to 0.05 percent in a peeled orange. The vitamin C content of acerola varies depending on ripeness, season, climate, and locality.
