The World's Richest Natural Source of Vitamin C
Kakadu Plum is renowned as the planet's richest natural source of vitamin C, containing up to 5,000 mg per 100 grams—that's over 50 times the concentration found in oranges. This essential water-soluble vitamin must be obtained through diet or supplementation, and choosing a wholefood source like Kakadu Plum provides it in its natural form alongside complementary phytonutrients. The Australian Superfood Co's extract is carefully processed without high heat or chemicals to preserve these nutrients, delivering a product true to its wild origins.
What Is Kakadu Plum and Why Is It Special?
Kakadu Plum, or Terminalia ferdinandiana, is a small fruit native to the tropical woodlands of northern Australia. Indigenous Australians have used it for thousands of years as both a food source and traditional medicine. Its extraordinary vitamin C content—amongst the highest of any known food—makes it a standout superfood. The Australian Superfood Co's liquid extract captures this nutritional profile in a convenient form, 100% natural with no added sugars or artificial ingredients. Beyond vitamin C, it offers antioxidants like ellagic acid and phenolic compounds, sourced from wild-harvested plums for maximum purity.
Why Choose a 100% Natural, No Added Sugar Supplement?
Many vitamin C supplements rely on synthetic ascorbic acid or added sugars to improve taste. The Australian Superfood Co's Kakadu Plum Extract contains no added sugars, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, or fillers—ideal for sugar-conscious diets like low-carb or ketogenic lifestyles. Natural vitamin C from whole foods is often better tolerated than synthetic versions, as it comes with naturally occurring bioflavonoids and enzymes that support digestion and absorption. This product is free from common allergens and suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
How to Incorporate Kakadu Plum Extract into Your Routine
This liquid extract is versatile and easy to use. Each bottle contains 50 mL of concentrated extract. A typical serving is a few drops mixed into water, juice, smoothies, or your favourite beverage—its potent, tart flavour may be best combined with sweeter liquids. It can also be added to salad dressings, yoghurt, or oatmeal for an extra nutritional boost. The liquid form allows flexible dosing and rapid absorption compared to tablets or capsules. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight after opening.
