How to use:
It only takes 1 teaspoon of this potent, dried, red-brown powder to provide you with a massive dose of this magic berry energy. You can build up the dose over time if needed. When I really want to surge my body with Vit C, I take 1 Tbsp a day. If you take too much, diarrhea may occur, which is an indication to cut back on dosage. Camu Berry Powder - 4 oz
I like to take it first thing in the morning in a shot glass of water. Some people don't mind the taste so much, but I prefer to drink it down quick. It can have an astringent aftertaste. It is quite delicious in some recipes, giving them a tartness, which is perfect for raw cheesecake, lemon bars, or smoothies.
It also blends in well when super juicing sweet juices.
