Acerola, an exceptional source of vitamin C
Acerola is a berry rich in vitamin C , around 20 to 60 times more than an orange. Which makes this fruit, native to South America, a solid antioxidant. Because we don't teach you: vitamin C has many virtues: it is known to reduce oxidative stress and support the immune system.
Vitamin C, a natural antioxidant
Yes, for sleep, vitamin C can also play an important role. And not the one you think. A common misconception suggests that vitamin C keeps us awake and that consuming it in the evening would have an impact on our sleep: restlessness, difficulty falling asleep, for example.

Acerola can be consumed in juice, powder or tablet. Since fruit juice is very acidic, it is necessary to cut it with another flavor.
To be sure you swallow the right dose of vitamin C, we recommend tablets or powder. The powder may be more suitable for people with swallowing problems or for children.
The tablets, for their part, are precisely dosed and thus save you from having to take the measurements yourself.
In any case, prefer a form containing natural vitamin C as is the case in our acerola tablets .
