Functions

Reduces Inflammation
Anti-Aging Benefits
Fights free radical damage
Lightens skin tone
Traditional Use
Used for centuries by Australian Aboriginal peoples as a food source and traditional medicine for immune support and wound healing. Contemporary interest in the fruit's high Vitamin C content stems from indigenous knowledge of its nutritional properties.
