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

Camu-Camu Fruit Extract Inhibits Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Responses by Regulating NFAT and Nrf2 Signaling Pathways in High Glucose-Induced Human Keratinocytes

[Antimicrobial activity in vitro of Camu-Camu (Myrciaria Dubia) against oral microorganisms: a systematic review]

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.
