Camu Camu is a bush that grows in Peru. It is a relative of the Guavaberry or Rumberry. Camu Camu (Mycaria dubia) grows in black water rivers, especially in those abandoned courses called "cochas", ecosystems of social and economic importance to the Amazon jungles of Peru. This plant produces a fruit that is named, respectively, Camu Camu.

The Camu Camu fruit has powerful phytochemicals which contain several of health benefits for the human body. This fruit contains amino acids serine, valine, leucine, and more vitamin C than any known fruit that can be found on planet earth. Vitamin C is a vital vitamin that we need on a daily basis. This vitamin strengthens our immune system. Often when we are sick is because we have a lack of vitamin c. When we are sick, if we drink a lot of juices that contain vitamin C we can recuperate much faster from a flu. People that take a lot of vitamin C rarely catch colds because of the power this vitamin gives to the body. This vitamin can be found in Camu Camu juice.

Camu Camu fruit has been longed use by the people of the Amazonian rain forest to help maintain their health in the best of shapes.

However Camu Camu fruit contains 30 to 60 times more vitamin C than an orange! This is pretty amazing for a small fruit that grows in the Amazonian forest. The fact that this fruit contains so much vitamin C and other very healthy supplements has made it very popular. Camu Camu juice helps strengthen the immune system, maintain healthy gums, healthy eyes, and healthy skin. It supports the functions that are carried out by both the nervous system and the circulatory system. This juice is very healthy and will benefit anyone who drinks it on a daily basis.
