Product Overview
Acerola cherry extract is a spray-dried fruit extract from Malpighia emarginata, a tropical cherry that is one of the richest natural food sources of vitamin C. Standardised to 25% vitamin C (as ascorbic acid), it lets formulators position a vitamin C ingredient as food-derived rather than synthetic ascorbic acid – a positioning lever widely used in gummies, immunity blends and children’s products. VeraVita Bio supplies the 25% grade as a bulk powder for supplement and food-beverage manufacturers.
Key Features
- Standardised to 25% vitamin C – batch-to-batch dose control
- Natural fruit matrix with associated carotenoids and polyphenols
- Spray-dried, free-flowing powder for capsules, gummies and beverage premixes
- Popular natural-positioning alternative to synthetic ascorbic acid
- Tart fruit character that blends into flavoured formats
- Bulk supply with COA on request
How It Works
- Vitamin C carrier – the active component is ascorbic acid, naturally accumulated in the fruit; the extract delivers it alongside the fruit’s native polyphenol and carotenoid fraction.
- Formulation role – contributes both fortification and flavour acidity in fruit-forward formats; in tablets it can replace part of the synthetic ascorbic acid load.
- Label positioning – declared as acerola fruit extract, giving brands a botanical source claim; the quantitative vitamin C content comes from the 25% standardisation.
- Antioxidant and immune-support claims for finished products belong to the brand owner and must comply with local regulations.
Typical Applications
- Immunity gummies and chewables
- Multivitamin and multinutrient blends
- Vitamin C sachets, effervescents and stick packs
- Functional beverages and juice powders
- Beauty-from-within formulas (paired with collagen)
- Children’s nutrition products
