Camu-Camu....What's THAT??

Camu-Camu (Myrciaria dubia) is the name of a bush grown in the Amazon rain forest in Peru.  The Camu-Camu bush produces a fruit with the same name which contains powerful phytochemicals with health benefits, including the amino acids serine, valine, and leucine, and more Vitamin C than any other known plant in the world. The camu-camu fruit has a surprising range of therapeutic effects.  Many people have stopped using large dosages of synthetic Vitamin C because they find that Camu-Camu is energizing, mood-lifting and highly effective in strengthening the immune system.

Although the number of milligrams of Vitamin C, which Camu-Camu contains, is low compared to the milligrams in synthetically derived Vitamin C tablets, it has more natural Vitamin C than any known botanical on the planet, the effects on the human body are incomparable.

Other possible health benefits of camu-camu:

1) Anti-depressant
2) Antiseptic
3) Good source of beta-carotene
4) Improves circulation
5) Lowers blood pressure
6) Powerful antioxidant
7) Effective at treating colds
8) Promotes mood balance and immune system
9) Strengthens the immune system
10) Supports health red and white blood cell formation

And guess what?  This ingrediant is IN SHAKEOLOGY!  It is only ONE of 70 natural ingrediants in Shakeology.
