Advice

This advice is based on the current state of scientific knowledge, but in no way emphasises the use of a product that should always be advised by a health professional.

  • 3 capsules of concentrated Camu Camu extract cover 100% of the daily vitamin C requirement.
  • As a general rule, take 3 capsules in the morning with a large glass of water.
  • Children over 6 years of age: 1 to 2 capsules per day according to age.

Precautions

  • Pregnant women: occasional use as advised by your doctor or pharmacist (usually 3 capsules a day for 10 days).
  • Do not exceed the daily dose recommended in the product data sheet.

How to use

  • Camu-Camu is consumed fresh in juice, but also in jelly or marmalade.
  • In Europe, due to export restrictions, it is mainly presented and used as a dietary supplement, in the form of capsules or powder, according to the instructions of the pharmacist or naturopath.
