A: You may have noticed that some Camu-Camu is dark and slowly dried without any additives and while other Camu-Camu is light colored and has been spray dried at a high temperature for a few seconds onto a maltodextrine medium.
Which product is better? If you are going for a high natural Vitamin C content derived from the Camu-Camu fruit itself, you will choose Light Camu-Camu with the maltodextrine. WHY?
Because maltodextrine helps stabilize the Natural Vitamin C Complex from the Camu-Camu fruit. You can test products made in this way a year later and it will have lost only a very small amount of Vitamin C – perhaps 10%.
If you test your Dark Camu-Camu product without any additives a year after manufacture, it will have lost close to 70% of its Natural Vitamin C content.
In the end, it’s the customer’s decision. Whole World Botanicals offers both types of products with no added synthetic ascorbic acid—only the natural Vitamin C from the fruit.
