This week I would like to highlight an amazing superfood ingredient found in Shakeology called Camu-Camu. If I were to ask you to name a fruit that is high in Vitamin C I think the most common response would be that of an Orange. Well what if I told you that there is a superfood out there that has 56 times the Vitamin C of an Orange!! I couldn't believe it until I did the research myself.

Camu-Camu also contains 10 times more iron, three times more niacin and twice as much riboflavin as oranges. I feel like there is a disconnect between what the average American consumer believes is a powerful potent vitamin enriched food and what they are really getting. Camu-Camu is just one of many amazing superfoods you will find in Shakeology. For more information about Shakeology Click Here
