TURBOCHARGE your infection protection plan with this ‘C’ superstar
Listen, I know we still have more than a month of summer left…
But it’s NEVER too early to start thinking about cold and flu support…
Especially in an era when most of us can’t afford to come down with ANYTHING!
You’ve already read how vitamin C (a.k.a. ascorbic acid) can help keep seasonal infections at bay…
But are you getting the BEST form of vitamin C available?
There’s a “superfruit” out there that’s LOADED with C… but whose full potential is as of yet UNTAPPED!
And it provides a vitamin “cocktail” that could OUTPERFORM regular ol’ C supplements.
An alphabet soup of boosting immunity
The acerola shrub (Malpighia emarginata) grows in the tropical rainforests of Brazil… as well as throughout southern Mexico and Caribbean islands like Barbados.
Its fruit is a deep red berry, like a cherry. That’s why sometimes the acerola berry is also called the “acerola cherry” or “West Indies cherry”!
In times of rationing during World War II, Puerto Rican families planted acerola shrubs in their “victory gardens” to boost their food supply.
That way, they could “sow the seeds of victory” over food shortages… and well as in the war itself.
And if you’ve found yourself “growing your own” during the last few months, here’s why acerola is one crop you might want to consider adding to your backyard orchard.
It’s like HARVESTING vitamins – right at your back door!
You see, acerola berries are just BURSTING with vitamin C…
By weight, about 100X greater than oranges.
It’s even been used to treat scurvy!
Acerola also contains a bounty of antioxidants, including the novel compound aceronidin…
And that makes it an OBVIOUS choice for supporting healthy immune function.
I’m talking about beating back cold and flu…
And even allergies!
Plus, acerola berries are PACKED with other vitamins… like A, B1, B2, and B3… all of which can help ENHANCE the immune response.
Because they’re SO perishable, you probably won’t find fresh acerola berries or juices at your local grocer. They’d never survive the journey from South America!
And besides, you’ll find the MOST vitamin C in the berries that are the LEAST ripe.
Fortunately, you can find acerola extract in supplement form, as a powder or capsule… or as an ingredient in antioxidant blends and immune support formulas.
Its safety profile is akin to vitamin C supplements… including the risk of loose stool if you consume high quantities.
When that happens, lowering the dosage usually resolves the issue.
To the ABCs of immune support,
