Food supplement Latin name: Malphigia glabra Country of origin: Brazil, Amazon region Product features: - AMAZONAS Acerola powder is made from whole cherries, which contain numerous minerals and secondary plant substances in addition to vitamin C. These natural "carriers" are responsible for the vitamin C being absorbed by the body. - The powder is produced using a spray process with the addition of the carrier maltodextrin. The maltodextrin, obtained from GMO-free corn, is necessary for the shelf life of the powder. - AMAZONAS Acerola powder, with a vitamin C content of 17%, is made from wild-growing ripe and unripe cherries (approx. 3-6 kg of fruit for 1 kg of powder) in order to use the specific properties of the different degrees of ripeness. - The powder is pink in color. - Natural vitamin C strengthens our immune system, protects our cells from free radicals and promotes the formation of collagen. - Since the human organism cannot produce vitamin C itself, we must ensure that we have an adequate supply of vitamin C. - Due to external influences such as stress, UV radiation, smoking, physical and mental strain, medication, but also preservatives, pesticides, etc., the need for vitamin C (antioxidant) increases quickly. - This additional requirement can be covered, for example, by high-quality food supplements. Recommended consumption: Stir 1 g of powder (approx. 1/2 teaspoon) into any drink, muesli, yoghurt or dessert as required.
