Unleashing the Power of Camu Camu for Pet Health

The Amazonian Superfruit

Camu Camu is a whole food, organic extract produced from a low-growing shrub native to the Amazon rainforests and Amazon river basins of Peru.

The fruit is often harvested via canoe along the riverbanks and then slow-dried and gently milled at low temperatures to retain its premium antioxidant, nutritional, and phytochemical content.

Nutritional and Phytochemical Powerhouse

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized Camu Camu as a premium antioxidant, superfood, water-soluble and fat-soluble super berry, as well as a super vitamin and super mineral nutritional powerhouse.

This whole food extract contains a rich array of beneficial compounds, including proanthocyanins, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which may help stimulate collagen production and support the health of:

  • Bones,
  • Cartilage,
  • Joints,
  • Muscles,
  • Connective tissues,
  • Blood vessels,
  • Teeth, and
  • Eye tissues.

Collagen Production and Skeletal Health

Collagen is the primary building material of bones, ligaments, tendons, and tissues in the skeletal structure.

The ascorbic acid (vitamin C) found in Camu Camu may help stimulate white blood cell production, boosting the immune system, and is also a key component in all types of collagen production, which is crucial for repairing and developing cells, tissues, and organs.

Maintaining healthy collagen production can be especially important in cases of arthritis, bone loss, and joint diseases, such as Intervertebral Disk Disease and Degenerative Joint Disease.

Traditional Medicinal Uses

In traditional medical systems, Camu Camu has been studied for its strong antioxidant properties, as well as its natural anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects.

The phytochemical content of Camu Camu may help slow down the aging process and promote tissue regeneration.

By incorporating Camu Camu into pet diets and products, pet owners can leverage the power of this Amazonian superfruit to support their furry companions’ overall health, with a focus on collagen production, skeletal integrity, and tissue repair and regeneration.

Unleashing the Comprehensive Benefits of Camu Camu

Bone Health and Regeneration

The natural plant chemistry of Camu Camu may potentially help stimulate cells tasked with bone formation and limit bone resorption.

As a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and antihistamine, Camu Camu may help build the body’s defense against infections, pathogens, and allergen triggers.

Additionally, its anti-aging and skin-reparative phytochemical content may help slow down aging and promote tissue regeneration.

Eye Health and Nervous System Support

Camu Camu may play an important role in supporting eye health due to its mixed carotenoid content, including lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin.

These potent antioxidants may help support the critical connective tissues of the eye, such as the macula and retina, as well as nourish the myelin sheath found in the central nervous system pathways.

Addressing Dietary Deficiencies

Normally, dogs and cats would obtain these types of critical tissues from the prey they eat in the wild.

With most pets eating some form of a commercial or home-cooked diet, Camu Camu may help supply vital sources of connective tissue and premium nutrition that are often missing in modern pet diets, which cannot be easily replicated in synthesized foods.

Stress and Mood Regulation

Camu Camu may also help assist in reducing excessive cortisol production, which may be important in relation to allergies and chronic or episodic stress.

It may also help stimulate serotonin production, which can affect many body systems and functions, including mood, social behavior, digestion, appetite, sleep quality, and memory.

Comprehensive Nutritional Profile

Camu Camu contains a wide array of beneficial nutrients, including:

  • Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, and C,
  • Fatty acids,
  • Selenium,
  • Calcium,
  • Protein,
  • Thiamin,
  • Bioflavonoids,
  • Mixed carotenoids (including lutein, astaxanthin, and zeaxanthin),
  • Resveratrol,
  • Proanthocyanins,
  • Glycosaminoglycans,
  • Glucose,
  • Potassium,
  • Phosphorous,
  • Iron, and
  • The amino acids serine, valine, and leucine.

These co-factor enzymes, terpenes, and flavonoids may combine synergistically to help promote maximum utilization and absorption of nutrients in the animal body, making Camu Camu an ideal health-boosting addition to all life stage diets.

By incorporating Camu Camu into pet diets and products, pet owners can leverage the comprehensive benefits of this Amazonian superfruit to support their furry companions’ bone health, eye and nervous system function, stress and mood regulation, and overall nutritional well-being.
