The #1 and #2 Fruits In The World With Massive Vitamin C Levels

Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid and is found in vegetables and fruits. It is a powerful antioxidant, assisting the body to maintain connective tissue in your bones, blood vessels and skin. Berries are very high in Vitamin C and it is well known that we can consume blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries to get our Vitamin C fix.

However, there are two other fruits that have massive levels of Vitamin C packed into them. I have the powder of both in my daily smoothie (amongst other things) to keep my immune system really strong. Here they are:

#1 - Kakadu Plum

This superfood is native to Australia and has been used by our indigenous people for thousands of years because of it's nutritional and antiseptic qualities. It is an anti bacterial, anti fungal and anti viral agent.

It has 5.2 times the antioxidant capacity of the Blueberry and only 1 gram of freeze dried Kakadu Plum powder will equal the Vitamin C content found in an orange. (100 times the amount found in an orange)

#2 - Camu Camu

Camu Camu is native to the rainforests of Peru and Brazil and is packed with more Vitamin C than every other fruit in the world except the Kakadu Plum!!

It also boosts the immune system because of it's high antioxidant qualities and contains a heap of other powerful phytochemical and amino acids. It is an anti-inflammatory, supports a whole range of body functions, including eye and brain functions.
