ORIGIN OF CAMU CAMU
The camu camu (Myrciaria dubia HBK), belonging to the Myrtaceae family, is a wild bushy fruit tree from the Amazon, which grows on the flooded banks of rivers and lakes or lagoons with dark waters and can remain completely submerged in water for four or five months. In Latin America it is found on the banks of the Amazon, Ucayali, Marañón, Napo, Tigre, Curaray, Yavarí and Tahuayo in Peru; Putumayo and Inírida in Colombia; and also in the upper Orinoco basin in Venezuela. The greatest concentration and diversity of populations is in the Peruvian Amazon. Camu camu is a fruit with great genetic diversity, which has a high content of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) whose values are between 2,000 and 2,994 milligrams per 10 grams (mg/g) of fresh pulp. Likewise, in the language of the Shipibo-Conibo peoples, the Myrciaria dubia is known; like camo-camo; and uses the pigment from its mature shell to dye vegetable fibers of the Chambira (Astrocarium chambira). Camu camu was initially considered as a natural source of vitamin C by Ferreyra in 1959 in his monthly report at the La Molina Agricultural Experimental Station.

Also as analgesic, antiviral and antioxidant. Recent studies catalog it at 2,700 mg/100 g of average pulp, exceeding traditionally recognized fruits such as orange and lemon by up to fifty times. In addition, its shell contains abundant natural dye whose use is incipient, requiring more research for the full use of this fruit.

BENEFITS
BENEFITS OF CAMU CAMU
The raw materials used in each of our processes are selected and classified according to the best quality standards.
ANTIANEMICAL ACTIVITY
It presents important chemical compounds such as iron and ascorbic acid respectively. The antianemic activity was evaluated, these studies were carried out in children from two to six years of age. The results show that the oral administration of the combinations of these fruits does not have major significant differences in the hemoglobin indices.
ANTIVIRAL AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY
Camu camu improves the body’s immune defenses and helps prevent colds, flu, and viral infections. Its concentrated amounts of vitamin C help to successfully counteract the symptoms of the herpes virus, being a useful nutritional component in the treatment of viral diseases such as herpes zoster, genital herpes, as well as the Epstein-Barr virus. An antioxidant acid called gallic acid is also present in camu camu and has antiviral and antifungal properties. The consumption of camu camu can be a natural remedy for inflammation in conditions such as arthritis, atherosclerosis, and high blood pressure. In the publication entitled “Tropical Fruit camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia) has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties” it states: “Our results suggest that camu camu juice may have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, compared with vitamin C in tablets.These effects may be due to the existence of unknown anti-oxidant substances in addition to vitamin C or substances that modulate the kinetics of vitamin C from camu-camu.”
HEALING ACTIVITY
The evaluation of the topical activity of the cream based on camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) was carried out by means of a preclinical pharmacological study in Holtzman rats in which second-degree burns were produced. The average scar reduction in the camu camu group was 69.4 ± 52.85, while in the positive control it was 69.26 ± 53.66. Microscopically, similar leukocyte infiltration was observed in the dermis and in the stratum serosum in the camu-camu, and both were less than in the control group. In the group treated with camu camu-based cream, the presence of epidermis and a greater activation of basal cells or a stoppage of oxidative processes due to the antioxidant property of this fruit can be observed.
ANTI-PLASMODIC ACTIVITY
The antiplasmodic activity of 27 extracts corresponding to 9 plant species from the Peruvian Amazon was studied, these were evaluated on Plasmodium falciparum by the direct visual method, the strain was maintained by the continuous culture method. invitro. The IC50 of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) had a value of 3 and 6 μg/ml, respectively. By presenting camu camu activity with two types of extracts, it is more likely to present compounds with antiplasmodic activity.
ACTIVITY AGAINST BRAIN DEGENERATIVE DISEASES
Included in the nervous system category is the brain, which also benefits from camu camu. Not only does this fruit help improve focus and prevent “brain fog” but it can also help block the buildup of plaque in the brain that can lead to conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
ACTIVITY TO PREVENT CANCER
Camu camu’s rich antioxidant profile makes it a powerful defense against cancer-causing free radicals as well. Synthetic forms of the vitamins found in camu camu cannot be compared to the synergistically healing nutrients in camu camu.
GOOD FOR THE SKIN AND COLLAGEN FORMATION
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for collagen formation and plays an important role in wound healing. Collagen gives the skin its elasticity and its deterioration leads to wrinkles. Vitamin C also helps regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin E, a favorable dietary ingredient for skin health. Similarly, the beta-carotene content of camu camu helps protect the skin against sun damage.
ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY
Five researchers in the world have reported the determination of antioxidant activity by two methods, one of titration such as PPO (inhibition of the enzyme polyphenoloxidase) and another spectrophotometric such as DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The cited authors agree on the potential antioxidant activity of the fruit extracts. By means of the DPPH method (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl reports an inhibition percentage of 98.09% at a concentration of 50µg/ml, disagreeing with the reports of Allerslev, RK (2007) and Soteros, SV et al., 2009, who determined higher IC50 with 57.19 ± 5.61μ/ml and 167.67 ± 30.0μ/ml at concentrations of 500μg/ml and 300μg/ml respectively.Muñoz, A., et al., (2007) reports an antiradical power of 289.29, expressed as 1000/EC50.Klinar BS et al, 2009, meanwhile, reports inhibition percentages of 30.13 at a concentration of 100µg/ml using the PPO method (inhibition of the enzyme polyphenoloxidase.
HOW TO USE
HOW TO USE CAMU CAMU
It is recommended to consume an average of ¼ or ½ teaspoon per day of camu camu powder or 3 capsules or tablets x 500 mg per day. These doses provide 80% of the necessary daily dose of vitamin C. Because it tends to have a slightly bitter astringent taste it is often mixed into fruit-based smoothies, juices and sweet foods or desserts. It’s a great addition to lemonade, ice cream and citrus flavored tart, just like our lemon bar recipe. However, camu camu, being considered a nutraceutical, does not require a medical prescription, and the proven harmlessness of camu camu facilitates its use. Clinical studies are still pending to standardize the best extraction technique, the preparation of the final product, as well as the optimal dose to obtain the desired effect.
It can be used in jams, jellies, desserts or drinks. In medicinal home remedies, the berry is known to be useful as an antiviral for the treatment of various infections.
Aside from these local South American regions, the camu fruit was essentially unknown internationally until the 1950s when it was first nutritionally analyzed by the Institute of Nutrition and the Ministry of Public Health of Peru. These studies revealed an exceptionally high amount of vitamin C content in the berry, with results documenting 2,800-3,000 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams of pulp. Since these findings, camu camu has been valued as one of the highest natural plant-based sources of all this important antioxidant.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
SIDE EFFECTS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS OF CAMU CAMU
There are no contraindications to adding camu camu to your diet. An excess of vitamin C is not toxic, but prolonged use of high amounts can cause gastrointestinal disturbances or diarrhea. Anyone who has been advised not to take too much vitamin C should exercise caution, such people with kidney stones. For most people, adding the superfood camu camu to their diet is a good idea.
