Camu-Camu also contains thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin and is rich in bioflavonoids and other antioxidants. In addition, 71.1 milligrams of potassium are found in every 100 grams of Camu-Camu. It also contains the amino acids valine, leucine, and serine (see below for descriptions) - all essential acids that our bodies can’t produce.

Amino Acids Found in Camu - Camu Berries

Valine is used by the body to prevent muscle breakdown and is important for nervous system and cognitive function.
Leucine is needed for muscle and bone tissue growth. It also aids in the production of growth hormones.
Serine is key for digestion by helping to break down the bonds in proteins and polypeptides so they can be used by our bodies.

Camu-Camu has several different flavonoids, including Gallic Acid and Ellagic Acid, which are compounds found in plants and are part of what gives fruits and vegetables their vibrant colors. They mostly function in the body as antioxidants, neutralizing harmful free radicals.

The Gallic Acid found in Camu-Camu has anti-fungal and anti-viral properties and acts as an antioxidant.
Ellagic Acid is another acid with antioxidant properties, found in Camu-Camu. It has been studied for anti-cancer effects, though research is still very early. Some research also indicates that ellagic acid helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Camu-Camu berries are a rich source of anthocyanins. These are the pigments that give various fruits and vegetables their color, including red sweet potatoes, red cabbage or red, blue and violet berries. Studies have long indicated that moderate and regular intake of anthocyanins, for example by drinking red wine, may lower the risk of heart disease.

Dosing Considerations

Royal Camu Light powder and capsules are best taken twice a day between meals for maximum absorption.
Royal Camu Light is safe and beneficial for children and adults.

Dosing May Vary Upon Need
The daily recommended intake is 1/2 teaspoon (2-3 capsules) per day. Because Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, it can be taken in larger quantities without concern. What the body cannot use, it will simply flush out in the urine. This means that more Royal Camu can be taken as a low maintenance (preventative), high maintenance (chronic symptoms) or immediate/urgent use (acute symptoms) with dosing amounts increasing as needed for maximum effect. For example, 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon (2-3 capsules) a day would be beneficial to prevent getting a cold or the flu. If you are in a susceptible environment or are feeling vulnerable, you could take a high maintenance dose of 1 teaspoon (4-6 capsules) twice a day. Once you know you’ve caught a cold or have the flu, you could take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (3-6 capsules) three times or more a day.

Directions

For Immediate and Urgent Use: Take 1/2 to one teaspoon (3-6 capsules) in cool water every 1 to 3 hours.
For maintenance: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (3-6 capsules) daily or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (2-4 capsules) twice a day on an empty stomach.
Mood Balance: Take 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (2-4 capsules) upon rising and again mid-afternoon.

Contraindications

No known drug interactions.

Serving Suggestions

The powder form of Royal Camu may be enjoyed with just water or may be mixed into smoothies or combined with juices. We do not put any excipients or flow agents into this product, so you will need to use a shaker cup or blender for best mixing results. Some customers even take it right off the spoon and wash it down with a liquid. The taste is similar to a slightly tart lemonade, something between a tangerine and a lemon.

Royal Camu Light powder and capsules are best taken twice a day between meals for maximum absorption.
