How much camu camu should be consumed daily?

Figuring out your best camu camu dosage comes down to understanding just how high this Amazonian berry ranks in the vitamin C content. This berry is more nutrient-dense than most fruits. Therefore, to prevent going over the safe consumable limits and gain optimum benefits from this nutrient-rich fruit, you will want to be careful in how you measure your intake.

Be sure to measure your powder servings appropriately with proper measuring spoons and not kitchen utensils. I suggest starting with one-quarter teaspoon a day, then increasing to full servings at the end of about three weeks. This gradual introduction allows the body to get used to the powders and avoid possible digestive upset.

If you are a capsule user check the actual vitamin C content on the third-party tested labels. Most products will have fillers, which reduce the actual potency of the vitamin C. Take this with a meal to enhance digestive absorption with minimum stomach sensitivity, especially if prone to digestive upsets.

There are special precautions about using blood thinners or if someone has iron overload disorders, such as hemochromatosis. Always check with your doctor before using camu camu to obtain instructions on its safe use based on your health status and medications.

Monitor your total vitamin C consumption through food and supplement sources, which include citrus fruits, vegetables, and multivitamin products. Keeping below 2000mg prevents adverse but optimal benefits.

Pick high-quality products containing clearly visible and labeled vitamin C along with third-party testing. Good brands will designate how much vitamin C is included in each serving, so you can be precise with dosage. And you should always avoid anything that does not have potency, amounts, and concentration clearly marked for safety.
