10 Health Benefits of Camu Camu
Health Benefit #2: Powerful Antioxidant
Camu Camu has great antioxidant capacities, and apart from vitamin C, it contains many other antioxidants, such as ellagic acid and anthocyanins. These antioxidants help to protect our cells from damage that is caused by free radicals. This is especially important for smokers, as smoking is known to create many free radicals and, in most cases, leads to oxidative stress.
Studies were able to prove that the combination of antioxidants found in Camu Camu berries is much more effective than taking vitamin C alone. One study, in fact, was able to prove that Camu Camu juice was able to greatly reduce oxidative stress in just one week.
