Acerola is a tropical plant native to the Caribbean, South America, Central America and Southern Mexico that’s fruit is renowned for its incredible health benefits. Acerola cherry fruit has one of the highest concentrations of natural vitamin C per gram of fruit and also contains bioflavonoids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, folate, potassium, pantothenic acid, magnesium and carotenoids.

Its high nutritional content provides consumers with an array of benefits including:

  • Helping the body when new cells need to be formed
  • Supporting natural defenses that protect DNA
  • Promoting the body’s ability to naturally protect itself from free radicals

As an antioxidant-filled super fruit, the acerola extract not only supports natural defenses that allow the immune system to protect the body from free radicals, but it also promotes detoxification which disrupts the ability of harmful invaders to enter the bloodstream, thereby promoting overall health.
