It is also used in many traditional Ayurvedic herbal preparations.* Acerola Extract is derived from the fruit of the Acerola plant also known as West Indian Cherry.* The fruits of the acerola tree are appreciated for their nutritive value, and they are generally regarded as being one of the richest food sources for vitamin C in the world.* Camu Camu is also a shrub-like Acerola, found in the Amazon forest and known as a potent source of vitamin C.* Rose hips are berries, which can be eaten fresh, dried, or even preserved.* They are known for their high content of Vitamin C as well.* Our Vitamin C is buffered with calcium so its acidity is reduced in the stomach.* This helps so that it may be easier on your stomach and less likely to cause loose stools.* DEVA Vegan Vitamin C is 100% animal-free and guaranteed for purity, freshness, and labeled potency.
