Move over, oranges – there’s another Vitamin C superfruit!
We’re excited to bring you this special mid-month edition of our Artemis Spotlight, highlighting a rising star in the health and wellness world—Acerola Vitamin C Extract Powder! Contact us about our acerola ingredients.
Did you know that just three acerola cherries can contain over 100% of the daily recommended Vitamin C?
| This nutrient-packed superfruit contains a staggering 1500–4500mg of Vitamin C per100g, which is 50-100x more than orange contains (Prakash et al., 2018)! From juice shots, to purees, to power bars and supplement gummies, acerola is finally gaining visibility. Consumers are noticing it between the aisles of health food stores and across social media. While synthetic Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is widely used in supplements, many consumers prefer whole food-derived Vitamin C from sources like acerola because of the added phytonutrients that offer antioxidant capacity and other health benefits. |
Acerola and its Uses:
Acerola cherry (Malpighia emarginata) is a cherry-like berry native to Brazil, but also cultivated in various tropical regions. In addition to being one of the densest natural sources of Vitamin C, its range of antioxidants and flavonoids support a healthy inflammation response and immune system. Applications include:
✔ Functional Food, Beverages & Supplements: Acerola extract is often used in gummies, juices, smoothies, wellness drinks and bars to boost their nutritional profile.
✔ Skin Care Formulas: Vitamin C is crucial for collagen synthesis, making it a go-to ingredient for skin health and anti-aging products.
Our Acerola Extract Powder is grown in Chile, and then processed and standardized to a minimum Vitamin C level of 25%, making it easy to formulate for the desired nutritional profile. Elevate your products with a trusted ingredient that your customers will love.
