Acerola Powder 250G - powdered acerola fruit

Acerola is a source of vitamin C, which is currently lacking. This is primarily due to a monotonous and unvaried diet, with too few vegetables and fruits, and the consumption of processed foods. This is particularly dangerous because the human body does not store vitamin C, meaning there is no way to draw on its reserves. Therefore, vitamin C must be supplied continuously, especially during periods of increased demand, such as in autumn, winter, and spring. Acerola contains the highest amounts of L-ascorbic acid, or natural vitamin C, of all fruits on Earth. On average, acerola contains about 1500 mg of vitamin C (up to 4000 mg at maximum) per 100 g of fresh weight, which is about 30 times more than a lemon. Natural vitamin C from acerola is more easily absorbed and better utilized than, for example, the vitamin C available in pharmacies in tablet form. In Brazil, acerola juice is very popular and is used as a supplement to address vitamin C deficiency.
