What is Kakadu plum?
Kakadu plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana), also called the gubinge, is a flowering plant that is native to Australia. It grows in the tropical woodlands of north-western Australia. Kakadu plum has been used as a traditional bush food and bush medicine for millennia. The fruit has especially high levels of vitamin C.
How is this different to my vitamin C supplement?
Most vitamin C supplements on the market use synthetic vitamin C or ascorbic acid. The majority of this synthetic Vitamin C is originally derived from GMO corn and processed with chemicals like acetone.
Synthetic Vitamin C is simply a stripped down, isolated version of vitamin C; devoid of the micro-nutrients, dietary fibre and phytochemicals that are found in vitamin-rich wholefoods.
Rare by Nature Kakadu plum capsules contain only the flesh of the fruit, not the seed and the husks. The plums are delicately air-dried to preserve nutrients and then milled into a powder and encapsulated.
No fillers, no additives. 100% Organic Kakadu Plum, an organic vitamin C powder with nothing added or taken away.
Why is vitamin C important for collagen synthesis?
Vitamin C is important for the activation of two key enzymes, which are needed for natural collagen synthesis, which starts inside the cell. Without vitamin C (and also iron), the function of the enzymes is inactivated, and natural collagen cannot be formed.
