10 Health Benefits of Camu Camu
Health Benefit #3: Reduces Inflammation
Camu Camu is also effective in reducing inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation can have many negative impacts on our cells and has also been linked to conditions such as cancer, autoimmune disease, and heart disease.
One of the antioxidants found in Camu Camu fruit, the ellagic acid, is one that can inhibit the enzyme aldose reductase, an inflammation-triggering enzyme. Although a study was able to prove its positive effects toward reducing inflammation, further research needs to be done to clarify how Camu Camu is able to provide this positive effect.
