Safety Concerns
Drug Interaction: If you have any health concerns or are taking any prescription medication, please consult with your health care provider before adding new herbs to your diet.
Breastfeeding and Pregnancy: There are no known contraindications with camu camu for breastfeeding and pregnancy.
Other Concerns: Camu camu fruit is a great and safe addition to any diet. It does, however, have high amounts of vitamin C so taking it in moderation is necessary. Vitamin C in high doses will affect the bowels. That is why many protocols often say to take vitamin C to “bowel tolerance.” That means, when you start needing to run to the bathroom to empty your bowels, start to back it down a little. High doses like vitamin C are not necessary when you are feeling well. Maintaining a good balance of vitamin C is important for your immune system and collagen production (bones, skin, hair, tendons, muscle, etc).
Select Studies About Camu Camu
This study showed that camu camu extract reduces harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) in skin cells exposed to high glucose. It also helps regulate inflammation and boost protective enzymes, making it promising for skin health. The study used camu camu extract in 70% ethanol alcohol.
The objective was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) on oral microorganisms. A review of studies from 2008 to 2018 found that camu camu shows positive antimicrobial effects, mainly against gram-positive bacteria, due to its phenolic compounds. However, more high-quality studies are needed to compare its effectiveness with oral antiseptics and antibiotics for dental and periodontal diseases.

“I’ve been putting this in a glass of water every morning for about a year now, and I truly feel it has kept me from catching most of the illnesses going around each fall/winter! I’ve been getting sick less than in previous years even with kids bringing home all kinds of germs! I won’t start the day without it- I even bring it if I’ll be out of town. Highly recommend!”
“This is the product that got me hooked on Earthley! Anytime I’m feeling slightly under the weather I start taking this religiously and I stay well or heal so much faster and don’t get as sick. It works for my children too. My husband and I usually use the powder while my kids prefer the capsules.”
