Are you looking for superior antioxidant foods?
In the flood plains of the Amazon between Brazil and Peru grows a shrubby small tree – Myrciaria dubia- better known as Camu-Camu. After the sweet smelling , waxy white flowers drop it grows small red/purple colored fruit that looks similar to a cherry. Among herbalists , camu-camu is known for its astringent, antioxidant , anti inflammatory, antiviral , analgesic and emollient and nutritional characteristics and is also a source of protein, phosphorus , iron, niacin , riboflavin, thiamin , beta-carotene, calcium , and three amino acids. It is an abundant source of flavinoids.
Those who take Camu-camu for its vitamin C know that just 1-2 grams of this natural source is a superior immune system strengthener than mega doses of commercial synthetic products . Camu-camu is about 2-3% Vitamin C based on the fresh weight, which is an exceptional concentration and demonstrates antioxidant food value . And antioxidants are important when it comes to my 2 other favorite “antis” antiaging and anti-inflammatories .
Camu-camu is currently being studied to assess its emotion balancing components . As written in the Clinician’s Handbook of Natural Healing (1998) by Gary Null, Ph.D. Camu-camu is number two in terms of its potential mood balancing properties. While the connection has not been thoroughly examined , it seems that Camu-camu might provide nutritional help for the brain’s natural manufacturer of mood balancing compounds . And , research has been released linking vitamin C with a higher level of serotonin.
Dr Mike Adams, ( kknown as the Health Ranger) said this about Camu-Camu:
“I’ll tell you a secret about camu. Camu-camu is the highest natural source of vitamin C in the world. And it’s not just one isolated chemical (ascorbic acid), it’s the full symphony of protective antioxidants. My research , based in part of the works of Dr. James Duke, leads me to the conclusion that camu-camu crosses the blood-brain barrier and offers extraordinary protection to the nervous system. There is no question in my mind that this product can drastically reduce eye disorders, including macular degeneration, as well as protect the brain and nervous system from degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia.”
