Acerola extract concentrates the acerola cherry, a fruit that delivers one of nature’s most abundant sources of vitamin C alongside bioflavonoids and other antioxidants.
People take it to support the immune system and aid collagen production for skin and connective tissue. Many choose it over synthetic vitamin C, finding the natural form gentler on the stomach.
Daily dosing with food helps absorption and cuts the risk of digestive upset. Capsules, powders, and liquid extracts are all widely available.
Large doses can cause stomach problems. Anyone with a history of kidney stones or who uses blood thinners should speak with a doctor first.
