Frequently Asked Questions
What is the concentration of Vitamin C?
Ekopura Vitamin C contains a dosage of 170mg which is equivalent to 136% of the recommended daily allowance. Ekopura Vitamin C is very well absorbed by the body because it is a 100% pure and unprocessed fruit powder.
Why Vitamin C from Acerola Powder?
For our Vitamin C we have chosen the most natural form available. Organic Vitamin C from Acerola Powder. The Acerola berry is a fruit that grows naturally in South America and the Caribbean. The berries contain very high levels of vitamin C. Because the berries decay very quickly, they are dried to eventually be ground into a powder.
The absorption of vitamin C by the body in this way is very high and easily provides the daily Vitamin C requirement.
What is the shelf life?
The shelf life is always on the back of the package, at the bottom. We guarantee a minimum shelf life of 12 months. In reality, however, this is much longer because we produce regularly and keep small stocks. It is therefore possible to purchase several products at a time for a longer period.

The Vitamin C powder is best stored in its packaging, tightly sealed and at room temperature, out of direct sunlight and out of reach of children. The ideal temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius.
