Camu Camu

Source:

Camu Camu powder is derived from the Camu Camu berry (Myrciaria dubia), a small, sour fruit that grows on a shrub native to the Amazon rainforest.

• Form: The berries are harvested, dried at low temperatures, and ground into a fine, reddish-beige powder.

• Commonly available as: Powder, capsules, or added to superfood blends.

Origin:

• Native Region: Amazon Basin — primarily Peru, Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador.

• The fruit is traditionally used by indigenous Amazonian communities for medicinal and nutritional purposes.

 Benefits (Backed by Preliminary Research):

 Clinical studies are still limited; most benefits are based on in-vitro or animal studies and traditional use.

🥄 Recommended Use:

• Typical Dose:

  • Powder: 1–2 teaspoons (2–5 grams) per day.

  • Best consumed with smoothies, juices, yogurt, or water. Avoid heating to preserve vitamin C content.

• Timing: Morning is best for energy and immune support.

• Cycling Use: Some practitioners recommend breaks (e.g., 5 days on, 2 days off) to avoid overstimulation or tolerance.

Always check dosage recommendations on the product label and consult your healthcare provider, especially if pregnant or on medication.

 FDA Caution and Regulatory Status:

• The FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) classifies Camu Camu as a dietary supplement, not a drug.

• Not evaluated by the FDA for disease prevention or treatment.

• Manufacturers cannot legally claim that Camu Camu "cures" or "treats" medical conditions without FDA-approved studies.

• Some FDA cautions:

  • Quality control: Supplements are not tightly regulated; choose brands with third-party testing.

  • Vitamin C overdose risk: Excessive intake (>2000 mg/day) may cause diarrhea, nausea, or kidney stones.

  • Interactions: May interact with medications (especially blood thinners or chemotherapy).
