Micro-nutrients may add years to your life
Most people in the modern world are suffering from micro-nutrient deficiencies simply because the commercial food crops are grown in nutrient exhausted soil. This is why the Rainforest is so important. Our Camu Camu trees are grown on the banks of a lagoon in an Amazon flood plain. What this means is that each year during the rainy season the river banks flood and our trees are six feet under water for almost four months. As the water recedes the soil and nutrient matter that has been moved around the Rainforest is re-deposited.

Camu Camu grows in the Richest Soil on Earth
This natural cycle ensures the richest nutrient soil for the Camu Camu plants. From this soil, the camu camu trees are able to pull a natural density of vitamins, minerals and amino acids in the exact ratios necessary for life. This is why the Camu Camu fruit is packed with a rich, balanced profile of unique, vital nutrients not available from any other source.

Harvard Research on Life Extension
One of the most important of these anti-aging micro-nutrients is resveratrol. Harvard researchers found the polyphenol resveratrol may extend life span and protect against cellular damage by increasing the activity of sirtuin enzymes which help control the rate at which organisms age. Other important co-factors include amino acids, which may play a beneficial role as anti-aging agents.

• Increases production of growth hormones
• Deficiencies may result in fatigue and irritability

Serine an essential amino acid
• Supports proper functioning of the brain and nervous system
• May benefit memory, sociability and alertness
