Explore the 9-steps of the seed-to-supplement journey to learn how we ensure that Nutrilite™ Vitamin C Plus is PURE, SAFE and EFFECTIVE:
1.CHOOSING THE BOTANICAL
Nutrilite™ Vitamin C Plus contains acerola cherries, which are known for their high natural concentrations of vitamin C and rich phytonutrients.
2. SELECTING THE SEED
Acerola cherries are grown from planting stock rather than seeds, which means we use hand-cut twigs from healthy plants to sprout new ones.
3. CHOOSING THE FARM
Located just 3° south of the equator, our Brazil farm is ideal for growing acerola cherries. Hot and humid, temperatures hover around 26° C with an annual precipitation of 119-157 cm.
4. GROWING
We‘re meticulous about how we monitor this botanical. We observe the acerola all year round – from bud to bloom to fruit – and we’re ready to harvest when they reach high nutritional value.
5. HARVESTING
We harvest the acerola cherries when they are still green to capture the highest possible Vitamin C content. Immediately after harvest, the acerola is either processed or frozen. Speed is key in preserving peak nutrients.
6. EXTRACTING
The extraction process, which happens right on the farm to help avoid contamination, begins by pressing the fruit. We add a little water to ensure that we capture all of the juice, which is where most of the phytonutrients are found. This is similar to how other juices – like apple, cherry or cranberry – are made. The acerola juice is then turned into powder, which is used to make the tablets.
7. MANUFACTURING
We ensure that Nutrilite™ Vitamin C Plus contains the right level of nutrients. Our product formula does not contain any artificial sweeteners, colours, flavours or preservatives.
We always put safety first. We test to ensure the presence of good things and the absence of bad things. Our products are tested for contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, foreign material, irradiation, and microbes, amongst others.
8. PACKAGING
Nutrilite™ Vitamin C Plus is available in a bottle as a one-month supply of 30 tablets and as a family size of 180 tablets.
The bottle is designed to preserve the nutrients and to protect the tablets from damage during transport. How do we know that the packaging is reliable? We subject it to extreme conditions – shaking, squeezing, and twisting, amongst others. That‘s how we know it can handle anything it faces between our door and yours.
Production and packaging details are linked to each Nutrilite™ Vitamin C Plus product shipped, allowing us to react quickly to customer inquiries.
