From its Latin name "Malpighia puncifolia L." the acerola is extremely rich in tannins and vitamin C (23 to 25%), which is equivalent to 40 to 90 times more than lemon. The fruit of acerola is tonic and astringent. Its natural vitamin C is useful in deficiencies, in antioxidant and immunostimulating cures. However, in order to fight effectively against free radicals, it is essential to have a high intake of vitamin C. L-Ascorbic acid makes it possible to obtain higher values to accentuate the desired antioxidant effect.
L-Ascorbic acid commonly known as pure vitamin C, may be levorotatory or dextrorotatory. This depends on how the molecule will deflect the light (right + or left - polarization). The polarity of dextrorotatory vitamin C is identical to that of natural vitamin C benefiting from good cell assimilation.
The human is lacking the enzyme necessary for the biosynthesis of ascorbic acid. Vitamin C is therefore captured in our food bowl. It is mainly absorbed in our small intestine and is found in abundance in our white blood cells (site of reserves). The main route of excretion is urine. Heat, air oxidation and ultraviolet exposure destroy vitamin C (careful cooking and freezing).
The primary role of vitamin C is certainly its "cellular antioxidant" action, with the neutralization of free radicals released during oxidative stress. It plays a role in the recycling of vitamin E and the biosynthesis of collagen. It is also involved in the psychic balance (synthesis of neurotransmitters) and facilitates the absorption of vegetable iron (non-heme).

** Only L-ascorbic acid is biologically active. The latter is found in the dextrogyre form which is identical to the natural shape (power of rotation to the right with an angle greater than 20 °). The latter is the only molecule that can be assimilated by the organism.
