Camu Camu fruit contains high levels of vitamin C, which is a positive thing most of the time.
However, if you are not careful enough, it could become a problem.
Even though it’s rare, vitamin C overdose could result in some annoying symptoms such as:
- Diarrhea
- Cramps
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Sleeping problems
“Taking more than the upper limit for vitamin C isn’t life-threatening” - Healthline.
If you consume the suggested dose of Camu-Camu supplements, these side effects shouldn’t be worrying you. You should take 4-5 gr -1 tsp – (4,000 – 5,000 mg) powder daily mixing in your smoothie or water.
