Acerola Cherry

Potency & Carrier-Free Advantage

CherryMax™ Acerola’s 32% vitamin C concentration means you can use smaller serving sizes without compromising efficacy. Unlike many competing acerola extracts that rely on maltodextrin to cut costs or improve flow, CherryMax™ is 100% fruit extract—no synthetic additives, no hidden fillers.

Enhanced Bioavailability

Acerola’s vitamin C is naturally bound to a network of minerals, flavonoids, and carotenoids, promoting better absorption than synthetic ascorbic acid.

Cost-Effective

Because every gram of CherryMax™ is pure acerola, you get a higher nutrient payoff using less overall product.

Consumer Appeal

Growing consumer and media scrutiny highlights potential drawbacks of maltodextrin—which has been linked to gut health concerns, blood sugar spikes, and possible contributions to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Despite being FDA-approved, maltodextrin’s high glycemic index (95–136) can pose challenges for those managing blood sugar. By choosing CherryMax™ Acerola—completely free of maltodextrin—you meet the demands of health-conscious shoppers seeking minimally processed, clean-label ingredients.

Beyond Vitamin C: A Complete Nutrient Package

Acerola’s extraordinary vitamin C content often steals the spotlight, but the fruit’s nutritional arsenal extends far beyond ascorbic acid.

Composition of acerola fruits

Broad-Spectrum Nutrition 

Acerola delivers more than just vitamin C—including an array of minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium), B vitamins, and vitamin A. This combination helps maintain energy levels, support bone health, and strengthen overall wellness.

Main phenolic compounds identified in acerola

Phenolic Compounds 

Acerola is rich in phenolics such as gallic acid, caffeic acid, catechins, and anthocyanins. These compounds exhibit powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help protect cells from oxidative stress, support heart health, and promote a balanced immune response.
