How is the Camu Camu berry dried?
A drying method called Liquid Bed drying. It is dried under 112 degrees.
Is E3 Camu Camu™ a natural product or a chemical/man-made product?
E3 Camu Camu™ is comprised of two wild-grown ingredients - both from plant sources (Camu Camu and E3 AFA), no man-made chemicals or other components are included.
Is this considered raw? What parts of the berries are used?
Yes - this is considered raw - very low drying temperatures are used in order to prevent degredation of the Vitamin C. Whole berries, skins and fruit pulp are used.
What is the purpose of AFA in E3 Camu Camu?
The added nutrition contributes to the synergistic effect of E3 Camu Camu.
Would we continue taking AFA?
Yes. The AFA with our E3 Camu Camu is for nutritional synergy in this 100 percent, pure, raw product.
Do you recommend I continue to take the same amount of AFA I am presently taking?
Yes. E3AFA and our signature product E3Live is a valuable source of nutrients with multiple health giving and sustaining properties.
What kind of fruit is Camu Camu?
Camu Camu grows in the Amazon Rainforest in Peru. Research shows this fruit contains more vitamin C than any other. Camu Camu typically provides 2,800 mg of Vitamin C per 100g-approximately twice that of acerola, 3 times more than the same quantity of rose hips, 40 times that of kiwi, 56 times more than lemon, and 300% more than the same amount (100g) of blueberries. Please note that premium E3 Camu Camu contains 6,320 mg of Vitamin C
per 100 g.
How is it classified?
It is classified in Myrtaceae family, Myrciaria dubia scientifically.
Is there a study showing that full-spectrum Vitamin C from Camu Camu is superior to ascorbic acid?
The Journal of Cardiology cites an October 2008 study from Japan indicating that Camu Camu juice may have superior anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties as compared with vitamin C ascorbic acid tablets.
The study states that tropical fruit Camu Camu (Myrciaria dubia) has anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. It comes from the Department of Cardiovascular and Renal Medicine, Saga University Faculty of Medicine, 5-1-1 Nabeshima, Saga 849-8501, Japan. Below is a summary of findings:
BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress as well as inflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Although, various anti-oxidative dietary supplements have been evaluated for their ability to prevent atherosclerosis, no effective ones have been determined at present. "Camu Camu" (Myrciaria dubia) is an Amazonian fruit that offers high vitamin C content. However, its anti-oxidative property has not been evaluated in vivo in humans.
METHODS: To assess the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties of Camu Camu in humans, 20 male smoking volunteers, considered to have an accelerated oxidative stress state, were recruited and randomly assigned to take daily 70ml of 100% Camu Camu juice, corresponding to 1050mg of vitamin C (camu-camu group; n=10) or 1050mg of vitamin C tablets (vitamin C group; n=10) for 7 days.
RESULTS: After 7 days, oxidative stress markers such as the levels of urinary 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (P<0.05) and total reactive oxygen species (P<0.01) and inflammatory markers such as serum levels of high sensitivity C reactive protein (P<0.05), interleukin (IL)-6 (P<0.05), and IL-8 (P<0.01) decreased significantly in the Camu Camu group, while there was no change in the vitamin C group.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that Camu Camu juice may have powerful anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, compared to vitamin C tablets containing equivalent vitamin C content. These effects may be due to the existence of unknown anti-oxidant substances besides vitamin C or unknown substances modulating in vivo vitamin C kinetics in Camu Camu.
