New Research Identifies 30 Important Health-Giving Compounds in Camu Camu
Science Validates Camu Camu Again! (And you’ll find Camu Camu in several Amazon Herb Products, including the Lluvia skin care, Zamu, and others!)
When researchers analyzed the three ripening stages of the camu camu fruit, they 
discovered that, as it ripens, a total of 30 different phenol compounds become evident, including flavonols, ellagic acid and catechins.
Phenol compounds play a significant role in the antioxidant value and health benefits of a fruit. There has been growing interest in these compounds and their potential role in the prevention of degenerative diseases.
These results confirm that camu camu fruit is a promising source of antioxidant phenolics.
What are antioxidant phenolics, and what does that mean to you? (Excellent question.)
There is growing interest in the role of phenolic compounds in the diet as antioxidants. Epidemiological studies support a relationship between the consumption of phenolic rich food products (camu camu) and a low incidence of coronary heart disease, and this is just the beginning of a growing emergence of studies.
Bottom line? Camu Camu is a key ingredient in many of the Amazon Herb products, and it’s good for you, very good for you.
Order Zamu, Camu Camu, Illumination or Lluvia Skin Care. All amazing, chemical free, organic and rainforest pure ways to get nature’s health directly into your body and on your skin.
