Acerola cherry contains 1,678mg vitamin C per 100g — the second richest fruit source after Kakadu plum. The vitamin C is accompanied by anthocyanins, carotenoids, and polyphenols that enhance absorption and provide additional antioxidant activity. 'Food-based vitamin C' supplements often use acerola as the source. Bioavailability is similar to synthetic ascorbic acid but the polyphenol matrix may enhance cellular uptake. --- *Reviewed by the Dose AI Research Team and Clinical Advisory Board* *Last updated: 2026-04-06*
