What I am going to tell you about this specific super food is based on research and studies done by some of the foremost scientists in this area of plant nutrition and medicine. Dr James Duke author of "The Green Pharmacy" and other books on rainforest botanical medicine is one such expert who has done numerous studies on the camu camu berry. This little grape size berry that grows in the Amazon Rainforest is know to be a natural anti-depressant.
One of the causes of depression is an imbalance of the nervous system. This is actually one of the most common causes of depression, an under nourished nervous system can be a direct cause of depression. Of coarse the allopathic western medical model will say that this is an imbalance in the brain and that a drug prescription is the solution.
The Camu Camu Berry has an ability to create an uptake of serotonin levels in the brain, this hormone is responsible for making you feel good. You gain a better sense of well being. This can off set the effects of depression. As an antidepressant the camu camu berry is known to help you change not only your mood and sense of well being but also the nourishment level of your nervous system.
People who are lacking in basic nutrition often exhibit signs of depression, your whole body is at a low ebb when your are under nourished. Your body does not run well without the right combination and quality of nutrition. This goes for your mental state as well.
Have you heard of people who are depressed and they don't really know why? Chronic clinical depression is not emotionally based or life event based. Since most traditional western doctors or pychologists look to a brain dysfunction or chemical imbalance and not to a potential nutritional imbalance they just offer a pharmaceutical drug to chase the symptoms away. This does not heal the root cause of this type of depression.
There is clear evidence and studies that point to the effectiveness of super foods like the camu camu berry for not only a natural remedy for the symptoms but also to rebalance and heal the root cause.
The Camu Camu berry naturally supports an increase in the serotonin level in the body. Serotonin is a hormone that works in the brain to elevate your mood and make you a happier person. It is the vitamin C in the camu berry that support this uptake in serotonin level. The camu berry has the highest naturally occurring content of vitamin C of any know plant.
This mood balancing capability makes the camu a valuable aid for people with depression. Because it has so many other positive benefits for human health it is considered a true super natural food.
Natural nutritionally based products are often put down? or not considered seriously for depression by the mainstream allopathic medical establishment and so people often are unaware that there are effective natural food based solutions for depression.
Eating the camu camu berry daily either in a powder form that you hydrate into a bottle of water or it can also be found in a concentrated liquid form. In some places in the world it is found in fruit drinks, smoothies and even mixed into a soda like beverages.
The best way to get the most direct benefit from the camu is to consume it pure from a producer that carefully dries and packs the camu powder in a individual serving packets so the camu powder does not loose nutritional potency by being exposed to the air.
