The Acerola Cherry is one of the best sources of natural vitamin C, having the highest vitamin C content of all known fruit. It contains, weight for weight, 28 times as much vitamin C as for instance the orange; it is supplied in capsule form.
Water soluble vitamin C supports and activates a full range of biological processes in the body. It is essential to the metabolism of the connective tissues and to the production of the fibres making up skin. It stimulates the body's defensive system, neutralises free radicals, speeds up the growth of red blood corpuscles and improves the intake of iron. Vitamin C is necessary for many metabolic processes involving enzymes.
Insufficient vitamin C leads to illnesses caused by vitamin insufficiencies such as tiredness, increased susceptibility to infectious diseases and lessened ability to perform bodily and mental labour. Especially growing children and elderly people should watch their vitamin C levels.
Because our body has little capacity for storing vitamin C we need a daily intake of vitamin C for proper metabolic processes.
