For too long the "natural" health industry has been promoting vitamin C from inferior supplements processed with petroleum derivatives or refined sugars. Instead of the synthetic forms, only the whole food vitamin C complex should be consumed. Synthetic forms of vitamin C have even been associated with certain health risks, including heart disease, miscarriage and stillbirths. In contrast, natural hwole food vitamin C is safer and more health-enhancing. Isolated ascorbic acid synthetic supplements should never be consumed. These are made by processing a source material with acetone and have no naturally occurring bioflavonoids. Our vitamin C raw food source contains wild camu camu berries from the Amazon, acerola cherry, rhus coriaria, and wild rose hip. All of these are sun-dried in remote forests, which preserves all of the natural vitamin C and bioflavonoids.

The camu camu berry is one of the richest sources of naturally occurring vitamin C in the world, which is why North American Herb & Spice sourced this rare berry from t he Amazon. The camu camu is an amazing fruit that contains nearly 30 times more vitamin C than an orange. It contains the whole vitamin C complex, which consists of vitamin C in a synergistic blend with bioflavonoids and trace minerals. The acerola cherry powder is also a vitamin C powerfouse, containing rich amounts of natural vitamin C. Acerola cherry is also a source of naturally occurring vitamin A.

Rhus coriaria and bioflavonoid-rich rose hip powder are the final ingredients in the formulation. The rose hip, like the other ingredients, is loaded with vitamin A, D, and E. These components are a great enhancement to an already superb supplement.

Because Purely-C is in a very bioavailable form, it is the great way to get your daily amount of vitamin C. Low-dose, natural vitamin C is the non-chemical way to consume vitamin C, and the natural form is easier to absorb and more powerful than the synthetic. Purely-C contains no synthetic vitamin C.
