Benefits of Acerola Cherry Extract Powder for Skin

Created on 06.03

Acerola cherry extract powdercontains high levels of vitamin C as well as other bioactive components that work together (synergistically) to improve skin. It contains 50–100 times more ascorbic acid than citrus fruit, making it a powerful source of collagen, melanin, and protection for cells. Acerola extract contains bioflavonoids and anthocyanins, which help increase the bioavailability of vitamin C, along with antioxidant protection. Overall, this means that acerola extract provides a way to promote healthier and brighter looking skin through natural sources of vitamin C compared to other synthetic alternatives.

The Science of Natural Vitamin C for Skin Health

The skin of the face requires a constant supply of vitamin C to remain healthy and look good. Out of all the fruits and vegetables on the face of this earth, Acerola cherries naturally contain the most ascorbic acid. The fruit provides between 1,700 and 4,000 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 gram serving as compared to the orange, which contains only 53 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams of fruit. Acerola extract provides all of the nutrition your skin needs. The fruit offers several health advantages outside of vitamin C. Other nutrients found in acerola cherries include the flavononols rutin, hesperidin, and quercetin, which are together called bioflavonoids. These bioflavonoids help keep vitamin C active and help reduce inflammation. The difference between plant-based vitamin C and synthetic vitamin C is that the body absorbs plant-based vitamin C better. The organic acids in the acerola cherry help buffer the stomach and regulate the absorption of vitamin C. Therefore, blood vitamin C levels will remain consistent; as a result, blood levels of vitamin C affect how fast your body produces new collagen and new skin cells.

Important Factors and Quality Signs

In order for a person to receive continued health benefits from using this product, the manufacturer will need to ensure that they use a quality-standardized extract. The concentration of Vitamin C is 5% and 17% in the NT Biotech product specification. This will allow formulators to use the correct concentration for the intended application. The particle size will be represented by 80 mesh (i.e., an 80-mesh will have a particle size < 100 microns and greater than 50 microns). This particular particle size will allow the extract to be solubilized/dissolved properly and/or bioavailable to consumers when mixed with liquids or solid foods. There are several additional quality indicators including: moisture content, heavy metal content (i.e., cadmium, lead, mercury, etc.), microbiological safety criteria, etc.

The manufacturer has indicated that they have met strict compliance with international standards which include: ISO certification, kosher/halal certification and/or approval. Each batch of acerola extract powder is subjected to a comprehensive analysis (i.e., HPLC) to verify that all of the active compound(s) concentrations are within specified ranges / limits as well as to determine that no added synthetic ingredients exist within the product. Naturally occurring anthocyanins found in the fruit provide a characteristic pink powder appearance. An acerola cherry extract powder's vitamin C content can be demonstrated by the color largely because the majority of synthetically produced vitamin C is generally white or light yellow in color. A further advantage of the natural colors in the cherry extract is that they provide additional antioxidants, thus providing even more protection to your skin. The stability of acerola cherry extract at different temperatures plays a major important critical role in defining and determining its quality. Our proprietary processing techniques used to produce acerola cherry extract powder ensure that the heat-sensitive compounds remain protected, while minimizing the amount of water needed to produce a powder that will last a long time. Thus, this special blending technique of ours keeps the extract biologically active and protects the shelf life of the product.

Skin Benefits and How It Works

Boosting Collagen Production

Collagen will get its full strength when it undergoes hydroxylation. This process of hydroxylation is dependent on vitamin C as one of the cofactors. Acerola extract provides the body with ascorbic acid that is readily available. It helps in the formation of collagen. The use of collagen helps to overcome the strength loss that occurs in the aging process. The research works conducted on humans showed that an individual would increase the collagen levels by eight times while still being in his or her normal state when they took enough of the Vitamin C. Acerola extract contains bioflavonoids that assist in the protection of collagen. The bioflavonoids in acerola extract act on the collagenase and prevent them from decomposing collagen structures. By combining these two actions, there will be a comprehensive method of maintaining the skin's suppleness and reducing the signs of age.

Tyrosinase Blockage and Skin Lightening

Acerola Extract is an excellent Tyrosinase inhibitor. Tyrosinase is the main enzyme responsible for melanin production. This explains the historical use of Vitamin C to lighten the skin and remove hyperpigmentation. When combined with natural anthocyanins found in Yams, the Tyrosinase inhibitory effect is further potentiated as they work together to inhibit multiple pathways in Melanin biosynthesis. Clinical trials have shown that Vitamin C applied topically to the skin will reduce Melanin production by 25-30% after 12 weeks of continuous use. In addition, since the Tyrosinase inhibitory effects of Acerola extract are released gradually over time, it results in a longer duration to the Tyrosinase inhibition than synthetic Vitamin C.

Acerola Extract Provides Comprehensive Antioxidant Protection Beyond Vitamin C

In addition to its high vitamin C content, acerola extracts offer comprehensive antioxidant protection due to the presence of multiple bioactive compounds. Antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, and anthocyanins, along with phenolic acids provide multiple protection against UV damage and pollution and metabolic processes. The antioxidants interact to assist in stopping the oxidation of the lipid portion of skin cell membrane and DNA. Acerola's multi-target based protection translates into lesser inflammation, better cellular repair, and overall improvement of skin health through its ability to decrease oxidative stress.

NT Biotech Superior Extract Compared To Other Brand

OurAcerola cherry extract powdercontains lots of benefits when compared to a natural extract, such as an acerola cherry extract powder, as well as with a traditional vitamin C supplement. The extraction process of our powder preserves the maximum amount of active compounds within the powder and removes any contaminants or solvents that are remaining. Traditional, man-made vitamin C products are generally hard on your stomach, and provide very little bioavailability because they will only remain in your body for a short period of time. Our natural extract has a long-term uptake due to the presence of organic acids in the form of a buffer and bioflavonoids that can improve the way you take the product. This allows you to take the appropriate amount needed to reach the desired therapeutic effect with a reduced frequency. Many producers of acerola products are inconsistent in the quality and standardisation of their products. Our quality control process ensures that all products shipped are of the same standard of quality. Every order of product ships with a complete certificate of analysis. By producing products for ten years we have developed stable production processes. When you look at all of the advantages that Acerola provides, you will see that there other factors besides if the cost of Premium acerola extract is higher per unit than a synthetic product the higher level of additional bioactive compounds and greater level of bioavailability in the Premium acerola extract reduces the cost per effective dose. The benefits of clean labels also allow Premium products to have an advantage in highly competitive markets.

Best Ways to Use for Great Skin Benefits

Taking Supplements the Right Way

The daily dose of acerola extract can range from 500 to 2000 mg, depending on the vitamin C content of the extract and an individual's requirement. Since it is naturally buffered, it can be taken in higher doses without causing the stomach irritation that occurs with synthetic ascorbic acid. When acerola extract is consumed in smaller doses throughout the day, it is absorbed better by the body and maintains a more consistent concentration in the bloodstream. Taking acerola extract with food helps it get absorbed better and keeps your stomach from getting upset. The natural fruit composition also interacts effectively with other micronutrients, mainly vitamin E and selenium, to enhance the overall functioning of antioxidants.

Topical Applications & Formulations

In alkaline environments, vitamin C has lower stability and therefore you need to consider the pH of a topical product when using it. Acerola extract is optimal in slightly acidic formulations (pH 3.5-4.5), which is close to the ideal pH of healthy skin. The compatibility allows the ingredient to provide optimal penetration with little risk of irritation. The hydration provided by this combination of acerola extract and hyaluronic acid helps protect vitamin C. The inclusion of bioflavonoids in a daily skin care regimen helps to maximize protection from the sun's UV rays on your skin.

Incorporation of Existing Routines

Acerola extract can be used with most cosmetics and supplement regimens without negative interactions. When combined and consumed together in their natural forms, acerola and fat-soluble vitamins are more easily absorbed, in part because there is less competition from synthetic nutrients. Because calcium and iron supplements can reduce the absorption of Vitamin C, it is best to avoid taking calcium or iron supplements with acerola extract. Morning is the best time to utilize acerola cherry extract powder to meet daily requirements for antioxidants and UV protection.

Important Safety Considerations and Contraindications

Generally, Acerola cherry extract powdercan be considered a very safe product, but care needs to be taken against excessive consumption. If you have a history of kidney stones, it is wise to consult your physician before exceeding 1,000 mg of Vitamin C per day. Due to the natural origin (fruit) of this extract, most people can safely use it. Cherry allergy sufferers are advised to do patch testing first. Women who are pregnant or lactating can use acerola extract safely but must first consult their doctor so they can obtain the correct dosage information. Natural acerola extract will not interact with medications the way synthetic vitamin formulations do; for example, Warfarin and other blood-thinning drugs may slow blood clotting and therefore are a concern for anyone using vitamin C. People using blood thinners like warfarin should limit their vitamin C intake. Storing the powder somewhere it won’t get direct sunlight, heat, or moisture will help acerola last longer and preserve its fitness bioactive components.
