This is the best quality and priced camu camu out there. No other ingredients, just camu camu. It's perfect.

I've ordered this product, a few times, from Amazon. The package says that it's 100% Organic Camu Camu Powder, which means that it should be just as good as any of the other brands; unless they're lying to us. Because this product is competitively priced, and because it comes in a larger quantity, I decided to buy it. Overall, I've been pleased, and have had no complaints. I'm particularly writing this review, now, after reading some of the one-star reviews. What irritates me, is that some people are giving this product one star because it tastes bad. This doesn't make any sense, to me. It's camu camu powder. It's true that it tastes bad, but that's just the way camu camu powder tastes. Would these people give a water company one star because the water tastes bland, and has no flavor? Of course not. So, what makes it fair, in this sense? The first time I tried camu camu powder, I bought it from my local health food store. The brand, that I bought, was more expensive than this brand, and it tasted just as bad. I found out, the hard way, that camu camu powder has a very bitter taste. Now, I mix mine in a glass of Kool-aid, or apple juice. I'll mix one teaspoon into a glass of either one. As long as the drink is sweet enough, or already has a bold flavor, it does the trick of masking the bad flavor. You'll be able to notice that the flavor is altered, and, as others have pointed out, it doesn't completely dissolve. Nevertheless, it's certainly consumable, without making you want to spit it out. Some reviews have complained about the packaging. Fortunately, I've never had one burst during shipping. For me, the packaging is adequate. It is a resealable package. However, I usually pour the contents into a smaller, resealable container, as I empty the bag, over time. I just find it more convenient than fooling with the ziplock. This may also cause the ziplock to last longer, since I'm not constantly opening and closing it. If a less reliable, resealable bag, is the way they keep the price competitive, then I'm all for it. Of course, I'd be upset if it burst, during shipping. However, I can always put it into a different container, once it arrives.

Excellent camu camu as I've tried other excellent and lower grade as well. Great price highly recommended. Some says it's bitter but remember this includes the whole berry itself skin and seeds getting the full benefit. I purchase excellent pink Camu Camu years ago but that's the pulp no skin or seeds which I found out years ago.

Believe it to work well, but taste is obviously all natural so not too good but happy no additives or stuff to alter it. It also will not dissolve in liquid very well. I like to put 1/8 tsp in a small bottle of apple juice to make it easier to take. It must be shaken and drank right away or you get a super chalky first swig or a chunky finish at the bottom. Possibly using it in a smoothie may make it easier to take without tasting. Purchased originally to make Liposomal Vitamin C, but didn’t realize that niacin was also in it. So no go there.

Everything about this 1 lb. package of Organic Camu Camu Powder said ~this is the one you want~...right?!? Best Price! Large Volume of Product! Organic! Good Reviews!...I WAS ALL IN!! Arrived quickly...all looked good as I pulled the pouch from the box it delivered in!....BUT THEN, as I picked up the pouch I could see a little puff of powder ejected from the still unopened pouch it comes in right along the top border of the still unopened package! Whaaaaa....??? : ( Tell me my eyes are playing tricks on me! THAT DID NOT JUST HAPPEN!...OH YES IT DID! POWDER LEAKING FROM TOP of POUCH WHERE THE INADEQUATE SEAL FAILS TO HYGIENICALLY CONTAIN THE CAMU CAMU POWDER! And NOT JUST IN ONE BUT SEVERAL AREAS WHERE THE SEAL WAS NOT COMPLETE and ALLOWS A LITTLE STREAM OF PRODUCT TO ESCAPE!!! Upon close examination I could see that the seal area is less than 1/8 inch wide and several gaps are apparent as I gently handled the pouch! Zip-lock seal is not sealed either! This is NOT a case of mishandling by those who handled the boxed package. This is a very weak seal along the top. Most products have about a 1/2 inch of area where it is fused/glued/heat sealed...but product has again less than a 1/8th inch seal! Since this product comes from Peru, it's especially important it's contents have a good solid, although it very well could be packaged/sealed in Orlando, Florida where the company, HerbaZest is apparently located! This is an EASY FIX! HERBAZEST PLEASE TAKE NOTE!
