Acerola Cherry Extract, A Vitamin C Powerhouse Your Skin (and Cells) Crave
When you think of Vitamin C, you probably picture oranges. But in the world of nutrient-dense fruits, there’s a bright red over-achiever that quietly outshines them all: the Acerola Cherry.
At NÆRE, we use Acerola Cherry Extract because it’s one of nature’s most potent natural sources of Vitamin C, delivering antioxidant power that goes beyond skin deep. It supports collagen, immunity and overall vitality in a way that’s fast-absorbing, effective and beautifully natural.
What is Acerola Cherry?
Acerola (scientifically Malpighia emarginata) is a tropical fruit native to Central and South America. Despite its small size, it packs a staggering nutritional punch. In fact, Acerola contains up to 30 times more Vitamin C than oranges.
The fruit is also rich in plant compounds like carotenoids and flavonoids, which work synergistically with Vitamin C to deliver broader antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
In short, it’s nature’s Vitamin C done right, complete with the co-factors that make it work better in the body.
01. Vitamin C That Actually Works Harder
Synthetic Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can be effective, but your body recognises and uses plant-based Vitamin C differently. The Vitamin C in Acerola comes bundled with natural flavonoids, compounds that help stabilise the nutrient and enhance its absorption.
That means your cells get the antioxidant protection and immune support they need, without the sharp peaks and troughs sometimes seen with synthetic Vitamin C tablets.
At NÆRE, we believe in nutrients that work in harmony, not isolation and Acerola Cherry fits that philosophy perfectly.
02. Collagen Support from the Inside Out
Vitamin C isn’t just about immune health; it’s absolutely essential for collagen synthesis, the process that keeps your skin firm, smooth and resilient.
Collagen production naturally declines with age, stress, and sun exposure. But Vitamin C acts as a catalyst, helping enzymes in your body build and repair collagen fibres.
Without enough Vitamin C, your skin can’t make collagen efficiently. That’s why we include Acerola Cherry Extract in NÆRE it supports that natural collagen scaffolding from within, giving your skin the building blocks it needs to stay supple and strong.
You need vitamin C with collagen because Vitamin C is a crucial co-factor for your body to actually synthesise and stabilise collagen. Without sufficient Vitamin C, your body cannot efficiently turn the amino acids from the collagen peptides into functional, stable collagen, making the supplement less effective. Additionally, Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant that protects existing and newly synthesised collagen from damage.
03. Antioxidant Defence That Feeds Every Cell
Acerola’s Vitamin C works as a potent antioxidant, neutralising free radicals generated by stress, pollution or UV exposure. But the magic is in its entourage: plant compounds like anthocyanins and polyphenols that reinforce the antioxidant network.
This isn’t just about glowing skin (though that’s a nice bonus). It’s about protecting your cells, supporting immune defence and promoting long-term health at the deepest level.
When we say NÆRE supports vitality, we mean it literally - cellular vitality.
04. Why Natural Sources Matter
Here’s the secret: your body prefers nutrients it recognises.
Natural extracts like Acerola deliver more than just the vitamin, they deliver its natural cofactors, which help your system absorb, retain, and utilise it more effectively.
And when combined with Bioperine®, that absorption potential is even greater. The two work beautifully together: Bioperine® helps ensure your body actually uses the Vitamin C that Acerola provides.
It’s synergy, not coincidence - that’s the NÆRE way.
05. Little Fruit, Big Impact
Acerola’s benefits extend beyond beauty:
+ Supports immune resilience during periods of stress or seasonal change.
+ Helps reduce oxidative stress that contributes to fatigue.
+ Aids wound healing and tissue repair.
+ Promotes healthy gums and capillaries (thanks again to collagen formation).
It’s one of those quiet ingredients that does a lot of the heavy lifting, you just don’t see it until you feel it.
Why Acerola Cherry Made It Into NÆRE
Because we don’t believe in throwing 100 trendy ingredients into a blend and hoping for the best. We believe in choosing the few that matter most, in the right forms, with the right science.
Acerola Cherry Extract earned its place in NÆRE because it’s:
Natural and highly bioavailable
Rich in synergistic antioxidants
Essential for collagen synthesis and skin health
Supportive of immunity and energy
It’s the difference between “another supplement” and a formula designed for true, daily nourishment.
If wellness were a spectrum, Acerola Cherry would sit at the intersection of vitality and longevity. It doesn’t just top up your Vitamin C levels, it helps your body build, protect and glow from within.
At NÆRE, we’re here for that kind of radiance, the kind that starts at a cellular level and stays with you through everything life brings.
