Camu Mega-C contains trace elements such as iron, phosphorus, beta carotene, calcium, vitamin B1, B2, and B3, as well as a comprehensive complex of minerals and amino acids. Tasty whole powders-perfect for smoothies and juices. This species occurs abundantly wild in swamps along rives and lakes in Peru, Amazonian Brazil and Venezuela. Often the base of the trunk is under water, and during the rainy season, the lower branches are also submerged for long periods of time.
