This is not a cherry

No, indeed, it is acerola !

This very small fruit from Brazil, resembling a cherry, is renowned for its… forte vitamin C content. This water-soluble vitamin is not naturally produced by your body and therefore must be obtained from the diet.

Rich in vitamin C

Acerola is one of the superfruits, naturally very rich in vitamin C:

10 times more vitamin C than blackcurrant,
25 times more than kiwi,
30 times more than lemon.

Comparison of the vitamin C content in fruits
	For 100 g of whole fruit
Camu camu	from 2400 to 3000 mg
Acerola	from 1000 to 2000 mg
Blackcurrant	200 mg
Kiwi	80 mg
Lemon	65 mg
Papaya	60 mg
Orange	from 55 to 60 mg

Only the Camu Camu, another fruit that grows in the tropical forests of Peru contains more.

Acerola & dietary supplements

All the benefits of natural vitamin C

Acerola is often sold in chewable tablet form, providing you with a high amount of vitamin C, which supports the normal functioning of your immune system, your normal energy metabolism, etcthe roles of vitamin C are explained here).

“Two points to watch out for”

Some dietary supplements indicate “500 mg” or “1000 mg” on their packaging, leading one to think they contain that same amount of vitamin C, but not at all !

Indeed, acerola contains a lot of vitamin C, but it never contains 100% of it.

1 500 mg acerola tablet contains approximately 20% vitamin C, i.e. 100 mg of vitamin C.

Moreover, some dietary supplements made with acerola claim a high vitamin C content, but these contain a mixture of acerola (natural vitamin C) with vitamin C synthetic. Synthetic vitamin C is less beneficial than natural vitamin C !

These two deceptive methods are frequently used, hence the importance of reading labels carefully.
