What it is

Organic acerola cherry extract comes from the acerola cherry, a small, tart fruit native to South America and the Caribbean. The extract is typically made by pressing the cherries to release their juice, which is then concentrated and dried.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic acerola cherry extract primarily for its high vitamin C content, acting as a natural nutrient. It is also used for its tart flavor and color. You can find it in beverages, juices, and dietary supplements.

Health notes

Organic acerola cherry extract is recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient or flavoring. It is a rich source of vitamin C, which is an essential nutrient that supports the immune system. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vitamin C, and it is generally considered safe at typical dietary levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming acerola cherry extract in foods.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Acerola cherry is a fruit and does not contain gluten.
