Acerola extract (32% vit.C) (Malpighia glabra L.)
Acerola (Malpighia glabra L.) is a small red fruit native to Central and South America, prized for its exceptionally high concentration of natural vitamin C. It contains 20 to 30 times more vitamin C than an orange, making it one of the richest known plant-based sources. The extract used in food supplements is standardised to 32% vitamin C, ensuring a precise and consistent dosage. Vitamin C from acerola contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, the normal functioning of the immune system, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also plays a role in normal collagen formation, supporting the maintenance of skin, bones, and cartilage. As a water-soluble vitamin, it is not stored by the body and must be supplied regularly through diet. Supplementing with acerola extract offers the advantage of providing naturally sourced vitamin C, accompanied by plant cofactors such as bioflavonoids, in a concentrated and precisely dosed form.
