Australian Kakadu Plum Vitamin C
The Kakadu Plum is an amazing little fruit. It's packed with antioxidants and vitamin C. It has been a traditional food of the aboriginal people for thousands of years.
Kakadu plums grow wild in three regions of Australia. However, the plums from the Northern Territory have much higher levels of beneficial compounds. We wanted to find a supplier that sourced their plums from this region and that we could trace back to the source as part of our Farm-To-Bottle Project.
Nature2U Kakadu Plum whole food vitamin C supplements represent the purest expression of vitamin C and set a standard for others to follow.
Ethical And Sustainable Whole Food Vitamin C
Nature2U Australian kakadu plums are wild harvested under strict permitting and supervision in the Northern Territory of Australia.
This is to ensure that this important Aboriginal food is protected for generations to come.
It was very important for us to find a supplier who took care to ensure the plums were sustainably harvested and that the people doing the harvesting were paid a fair wage.
Kakadu Vitamin C
The flesh of the fruit contains much higher levels of nutrients and beneficial compounds than the seeds and skin, so we wanted a product made just from the flesh, even though products made from the peel and seeds are much more profitable.
Nature2U only uses the flesh of the plum.
Kadaku Plum Drying
Proper drying of the Kakadu plum is important to preserving the nutritional value.
Spray-drying and high-heat drying are cheaper to use, but they often result in nutrient loss and can damage the fragile beneficial compounds.
Nature2U uses a gentle drying process called refractance window drying.
This is a very sophisticated drying method that helps to preserve nearly all of the nutrient value and protects fragile compounds.
Non-Adulterated Kakadu Vitamin C
Nature2U does not add synthetic ascorbic acid like so many companies due to spike the vitamin C content of their products.
Only the naturally occurring vitamin C is present. Because they are the producers, they do not buy from middlemen, where most adulteration occurs.
We also wanted a product that was free of fillers, binders, sweeteners, and flavorings, which are all too common in vitamin C supplements.
Nature2U is free of additives.
NATURE2U Kakadu Plum Vitamin C
Whole food vitamin C supplements contain the synergy that can only come from whole foods. Synthetic ascorbic acid mixed with a pinch of rose hips or bioflavonoids cannot replace the intricate balance that occurs in nature.
