Unidentifiable Off-White Grains Mixed in Camu Camu
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2024
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This company was once one my favorite companies. Over the years, it went downhill. Other reviewers have mentioned quality control issues, and while I continued to be dissatisfied with quality decreases, it seems I finally hit what other reviewers mentioned. I found these unidentifiable white grains mixed in with the Camu Camu. Ive been taking Camu Camu for years, so I know the taste and solubility well. These grains are insoluble, so I doubt they are even a food product. What are they? Not 100% sure, and I did consume some, but no major reaction yet. I'd say avoid this company/product. Other reviewers found similar adulterated grains and foreign entities in their other supplements as well. Stay safe!!

I ordered this particular brand because it stated it was the Brazilian brand. It stated it was tart sour and red. This is the type I was using from another manufacturer. I thought it I would save a few dollars. It came more like brown sawdust, a slight pink, and not tart at... See more

The powder is gritty, does not dissolve in water. Unexpectedly, It caused nausea and heartburn. It is not refundable. Real camu is full of nutrients but Nutrition facts on the package list no vitamin C or any other vitamins. This makes me question content and any testing... See more

Near Expiration Date

Camu powder is supposed to have a long shelf life. The powder I received in September has a Dec 1 expiration date of this year. I assume it has been sitting in a warehouse shelf for a long time.
What I will do is say that this is produced in Brazil and it's good to see that they've got a US distributor. That said, consider a brand that has a stronger rep when it comes to supplements, please. It's easy to buy anything we see on sale, etc. without looking too deeply into any information about the company producing the product.
I'd suggest considering another known brand, such as Bulk Supplements - I'm not affiliated with them, nor with Supp.Co the app that I've been using to go through my own supplement stack and throwing out a lot of questionable items to replace them with brands that at least have known/public testing measures, etc. SuppCo does some of that rating and they don't have every company out there, however, I couldn't find a score on FGO. I've found that Bulk Supplements has a score of 8.5 (out of 10) which is pretty solid for an org that has solid products and great prices.
I realize I sound like an advertisement—ugh, sorry! I've been really trying to avoid putting junk into my system, or possibly worse: unknown junk.
This looks like a solid deal ($3.62 for 30 servings - 12 cents/serving) and Bulk Supplements (brand powders I've recently started trying) is solid ($17.82 for 200 servings - 9 cents/serving) and a bit of a better deal for what I at least perceive to be known quality.
Sorry for landing like and ad. It's really not; I've got no skin in this game and am still learning a lot (possibly including how to do math - Bulk Supps calls a serving 2.5 ounces / FGO calls a serving 5 ounces).
