Measuring
One daily serving is 1 g of powder, which is about one level scoop with the measuring scoop provided.
The fruit
Vitamin C from acerola: as fruit powder or standardised extract.
A cherry from the tropics
The acerola (Malpighia), also known as the Barbados cherry, grows as a shrub or small tree in Central and South America, including Brazil. Its red fruits resemble cherries but have a distinctly more tart flavour.
Rich in vitamin C
Acerolas are naturally rich in vitamin C. The exact amount depends on the variety, degree of ripeness and harvest.
Easy to measure out as a powder
Fresh acerolas spoil quickly. In powder form, however, the fruit can be stored easily and is simple to measure out; 1 g per day is sufficient.
Transparent labelling
Our two sizes currently differ in terms of raw material. That is why we list the details separately.
100 g: acerola fruit powder
The 100 g pack contains acerola fruit powder from Brazil. The vitamin C content comes from the fruit and is subject to the fluctuations typical of natural products. One measuring scoop (1 g) provides 156 mg of vitamin C.
300 g: acerola fruit extract
The 300 g pack contains an acerola extract standardised to 25% vitamin C. One daily serving (1 g) therefore provides a full 250 mg of vitamin C.
Same use
For both sizes: 1 g per day, about one level scoop, stirred into cold or cooled drinks and food.

Vitamin C

Health claims in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 432/2012. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Background
A water-soluble vitamin
Unlike many animals, humans cannot produce vitamin C (ascorbic acid) themselves. It must be consumed regularly through food.
Vitamin C in food
Good sources include, for example, peppers, broccoli, kale, citrus fruits and berries. The German Nutrition Society recommends 95 mg of vitamin C per day for adult non-smoking women and 110 mg for adult non-smoking men.
Sensitive to heat and light
Vitamin C is broken down by heat, light and oxygen. So only stir the powder into cold or cooled food shortly before eating, and keep the pouch tightly closed, dry and protected from light after opening.
From the fruit or synthetically produced?
L-ascorbic acid from acerola is chemically identical to synthetically produced L-ascorbic acid. No fundamentally better effect can be inferred from its source.
Added value in everyday life
Fruity, creamy and ready in five minutes. The acerola powder is added right at the end and is not heated.
Ingredients
Preparation
Good to know: One glass already contains the recommended daily amount of 1 g acerola. The recipe idea is meant as inspiration; nutrient contents vary depending on the ingredients.
Product & quality
Vegan
Purely plant-based, with no animal-derived ingredients.
Ingredient
According to the ingredients list, it contains only acerola.
Daily serving
About one level measuring scoop (included).
The fruit powder is made from the acerola fruit. Its vitamin C content comes from the fruit and naturally varies. The extract is standardised to a fixed vitamin C content of 25%. The 100 g pack contains fruit powder, while the current 300 g pack contains extract.
According to the label, the 100 g fruit powder contains 156 mg per measuring scoop (1 g), which is 195% of the nutrient reference value. The 300 g extract contains 250 mg per measuring scoop (1 g), which is 313%.
Because it comes from the fruit itself. The variety, degree of ripeness, harvest and processing all influence how much vitamin C an acerola contains. The label explicitly points this out.
L-ascorbic acid from acerola is chemically identical to synthetically produced L-ascorbic acid. The difference lies in its origin. It cannot be concluded that it is fundamentally more effective.
Vitamin C is broken down by heat, light and oxygen. So only stir the powder into cold or cooled drinks and food shortly before consuming. For the 300 g extract, the manufacturer states: not above 40 °C.
Mathematically, the 100-g pouch contains 100 daily servings and the 300-g pouch contains 300 daily servings, each weighing 1 g. Please note the best-before date and storage instructions.
The colour may vary depending on the raw material and batch. Fruit powder and extract also differ in their manufacturing processes.
The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment recommends a maximum of 250 mg of vitamin C per recommended daily intake of a food supplement. This is not a statutory maximum. When combining products, take into account any other vitamin C supplements you are taking and do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
