The acerola fruit is also called the acerola cherry, but it has little in common with normal cherries beyond its appearance. Most notably, it boasts a vitamin C content that is 100 times higher – while a cherry contains only about 10 mg per 100 g, the acerola shines with an incredible 1,700 mg! The vitamin C it contains is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your cells from free radicals. Furthermore, vitamin C also plays an important role in the health of your skin, bones, and mental well-being. In Latin America, the natural power of acerola has long been known and is traditionally used in an incredible number of applications. In Europe, the success story of this superfood only began in the 20th century. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool, dry place, protected from light and out of reach of small children.
