What is naturally occurring vitamin C?
And what’s so special about it?
*
The Recommended daily allowance of vitamin C has been set at as 100mg since April 2000. However, this still doesn’t fulfill the amount of vitamin C needed for proactive healthy body maintenance, especially if you are taking artificial vitamin C.

Unlike plants that produce vitamins themselves, we need to take vitamins from what we eat and drink. Camu Camu fruit is the fastest way to get the vitamin C you need, because Camu Camu contains more vitamin C than any other fruit in the world!

You might have heard that naturally occurring vitamin C is ‘better’ than artificial vitamin C.
But why exactly is the naturally occurring one better than the artificial one?
There are 3 reasons;
It’s easier for your body to absorb naturally occurring vitamin C.
Even after your body absorbed enough vitamin C, artificial vitamin C stay in your body, which may cause health problem in the long run. Unused naturally occurring vitamin C is quickly discharged.
Naturally occurring vitamin C doesn’t harm your body with active oxygen.

There are five fundamental nutrients we need in our everyday life. Three of them are carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Some people call these the ‘three major nutrients’.
The other two are organic quality vitamins and minera. As opposed to the three major nutrients, these two groups are called micronutrients.
Because of their name, many people believe the micronutrients are not as important as the three major nutrients. This is a big misunderstanding. Vitamins are used in almost every process the body goes through, such as composing cells, and producing/consuming energy. The main ingredients of these processes are the major nutrients but none of these reactions can occur without the help of vitamins. For instance, suppose your body was an automobile. You need things like gasoline, an engine, and a battery to make it go, but that’s not enough; without lubricating oil, the engine is damaged as it runs and will break down eventually. Just like lubricating oil in a car, the body needs a constant supply of small amount of vitamins everyday.
