CAMU²

Camu Camu is a small, tart red fruit that grows in the Peruvian Amazon, along the banks of flood-prone rivers. It is little known in Europe. In Peru, it has been eaten for generations as juice, cold drinks and condiments. What makes it remarkable isn't visible to the naked eye: it's its concentration of natural vitamin C. Between 1,800 and 2,800 mg per 100 grams of fresh fruit. By comparison, an orange contains around 50 mg per 100 grams. Weight for weight, that's 40 to 60 times more.

CAMU² is formulated in vegetable capsules, from certified organic Camu Camu powder from the Peruvian Amazon. No loose powder to dilute. Dosed, stable capsules, designed for a simple, daily intake with no change to your routine.

The distinction between natural and synthetic vitamin C is worth explaining clearly. Synthetic vitamin C, isolated ascorbic acid, is effective and well absorbed. But the vitamin C in Camu Camu doesn't arrive alone. It comes with bioflavonoids, polyphenols and natural cofactors present in the whole plant, which improve its bioavailability and extend its action in the body. It's the difference between an isolated nutrient and a nutrient in its natural context. Nature solved the absorption problem long before the laboratories did.

The documented roles of vitamin C in the body are numerous. It contributes to the normal function of the immune system, its best-known use. But it is also involved in collagen synthesis, essential for the skin, joints and blood vessels. It reduces fatigue by supporting energy metabolism. It protects cells against oxidative stress, a mechanism involved in cellular ageing. And it improves the absorption of plant-based iron, an often underestimated benefit, particularly for women and those following a vegetarian diet.

What depletes our vitamin C levels first: stress, pollution, tobacco, winter infections, periods of intense effort. These situations increase needs and speed up the depletion of stores. It is precisely in these contexts that CAMU² makes a perceptible difference, not by exceeding physiological doses like some synthetic supplements, but by restoring optimal levels with a source the body recognises and absorbs efficiently.

Camu Camu is harvested by hand on the banks of the Peruvian Amazon, in preserved areas free of intensive farming. The fruits are dried at low temperature to keep their vitamin C profile intact, then encapsulated in HPMC vegetable capsules. Organic certification guarantees the absence of chemical treatment residues on the wild fruit.

90 capsules. A 3-month cure. The first effects, better resistance to seasonal infections and reduced background fatigue, are generally noticeable between the 3rd and 6th week.
