PURE ESSENCE LABS Whole-C Whole Food Vitamin C - Organic Camu Camu, 30 Tablets

What Makes Camu Camu Special?

Camu Camu (Myrciaria dubia) is a small berry native to the rainforest, prized for its exceptionally high vitamin C content—often up to 2–3% by weight. Unlike synthetic vitamin C, Camu Camu naturally contains a variety of antioxidants, flavonoids (such as ellagic acid and anthocyanins), and minerals like potassium and calcium. These co-factors may help improve the bioavailability and retention of vitamin C in the body. PURE ESSENCE LABS uses eco-sustainable, wildcrafted Camu-Camu to ensure purity and potency while supporting rainforest conservation.

Key Benefits of Whole-C Vitamin C

Whole-C is designed to support your body's natural defences. Vitamin C is known to help support immune function and may contribute to the maintenance of healthy bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums. The presence of bioflavonoids and other co-nutrients in whole food sources may enhance absorption and utilisation. Additionally, vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. By choosing a whole food form, you provide your body with a complex that works in synergy, potentially offering broader support than isolated ascorbic acid alone.

What Is Whole Food Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that your body cannot produce on its own, making dietary intake crucial. While synthetic ascorbic acid is common, whole food vitamin C offers a more complete complex of naturally occurring co-factors, including bioflavonoids, tyrosinase, and other synergistic compounds. PURE ESSENCE LABS Whole-C is derived from organic, wildcrafted Camu-Camu berries sourced from the rainforest—one of nature's richest sources of vitamin C. This whole food concentrate provides your body with the full spectrum of nutrients as they exist in nature.

How to Choose the Best Vitamin C Supplement

When selecting a vitamin C supplement, consider the source and form. Whole food concentrates like Whole-C provide a complex of nutrients that work together—something synthetic isolates lack. Look for organic, non-GMO ingredients and minimal fillers. Whole-C is formulated with a blend of organic buckwheat, organic lemon peel, and other fruit extracts (blueberry, cranberry, elderberry, pomegranate, raspberry) to support overall wellness. The addition of black pepper extract (piperine) may enhance absorption. For those seeking a holistic approach, whole food vitamin C offers a more natural alternative.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

Each bottle of Whole-C contains 30 tablets, providing a one-month supply when taken as directed. The recommended dosage is one tablet daily with a meal. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication. Store in a cool, dry place. Vitamin C is generally well-tolerated, but high doses may cause digestive upset in some individuals. Whole food forms are typically gentler on the stomach.
