Acerola (Malpighia glabra L.) is a shrubby, climbing plant native to tropical and subtropical areas of America, which can even reach 5 meters in height. The fruits, drupes with a diameter of one to two centimeters, closely resemble cherries and for this reason the acerola is also known as Barbados or Brazil cherry. Inside, the fruit is divided into segments with a slightly sour taste, which recall the typical taste of the orange.

The main reason for the fame of Acerola is the very high percentage of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) contained in its fruits, which makes it known as one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C. The fruit has a very high content of this vitamin, about fifteen times higher than that of kiwi and 20 times that of orange juice. What is Acerola Acerola is a food supplement that provides 700 mg of vitamin C per daily dose. The acerola extract performs an antioxidant function, thanks also to the presence of vitamin C*, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

It is particularly suitable for preventing and combating flu syndromes, upper airway diseases (such as colds), for stimulating the correct functioning of the immune system and can be useful in case of asthenia and vitamin deficiencies. Vitamin C, a characteristic component of acerola, is a water-soluble vitamin, easily absorbed in the small intestine from which it passes directly into the circulation to be used by the whole organism. Below are the best-known biological processes where the presence of vitamin C is required: - synthesis of collagen in the skin; - correct functioning of the immune system; -increased iron absorption; - antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action.
