Gubinge (Kakadu Plum)
The highest source of vitamin C on the planet is Gubinge, an extremely-rare plant found in top wild lands of Northern Australia. It’s only harvested by tribal natives, and it took me forever to find a reputable, local company out there that deals with the indigenous Aborigines. You have no idea what this costs me. Gubinge has been identified worldwide as the single natural food source with the highest vitamin C content on the planet. It contains 3000mg of vitamin C per 100g of fruit - over 50 times the concentration found in oranges. It also has ellagic acid which fights parasites, tumors, fungus, bacteria, and anything trying to mutate in the body. Gubinge has one of the highest known antioxidant levels identified in any fruit (ORAC). You won’t see Gubinge in anyone else’s formula because of the cost, but I was determined to have the very best.
Acerola Berry
A cherry-like Caribbean fruit- the most stable, one of the most reliable and extremely-concentrated natural sources of vitamin C. It’s one of the richest sources of 100% natural vitamin C complex in the world- just 100 grams, or about 3.5 ounces, of the ripened acerola fruits can contain 17,000 milligrams of the vitamin C. It’s carotene content is comparable to carrots and it’s also high in niacin, pantothenic acid, potassium, B1 Thiamine and B2 Riboflavin. They contain whole-plant bioflavonoids, hesperidin, rutin, anthocyanins and other naturally occurring essential cofactors. All this makes it a powerful antioxidant. Great for people in toxic cities.
Indian Gooseberry (Amla)
One of the richest herbal sources of vitamin C and bioflavonoids, each amla fruit contains up to 700mg of vitamin C. It’s a powerful antioxidant that improves protein metabolism and contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, D, E, calcium, chromium, cobalt, iron, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, silicon, tin, zinc, bioflavonoids, and saponins.
Sea Buckthorn
One of the only land plants that contains Omega essential fatty acids. Called the “Miracle Berry”. The fruit of the plant has a very high vitamin C content- 1550 mg per 100 grams, with an average content (695 mg per 100 grams) about 15 times greater than oranges placing sea-buckthorn fruit among the most enriched plant sources of vitamin C. The fruit also contains dense contents of carotenoids, vitamin E, amino acids, dietary minerals, β-sitosterol and polyphenols (Flavonols). Sea Buckthorn is one of the only known land plants to contain Palmitoleic acid, also known as Omega 7.
Watercress (Nasturtium officinale)
If anything should be called a superfood, this is a definite contender. Weight for weight, it contains more vitamin C than oranges, more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, more folic acid than bananas. Watercress is high in the flavonoid quercetin, which breaks down into rutin. The strong taste is from high sulfur content (beautifies skin and complexion), and a substance called phenylethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), which is able to block the function of a protein called Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF). Watercress is packed with 15 essential vitamins and minerals; A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, biotin, C, D, E, very high in sulfur, calcium, iodine, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, trace elements, vanadium, zinc, bioflavonoids.
Rosehip
Rose hips develop on wild roses as the flowers drop off and is actually the fruit of the rose. These fruits are one of the most concentrated sources of vitamin C available, - about 1,250 mg/100 g of pure vitamin C. In addition, rose hips contain large amounts of polyphenols, which are also known to possess antioxidative properties. Rosehips contain naturally occurring, extremely important vitamin C COMPLEX nutrients like bioflavonoids, hesperidin and rutin. Rosehips are a famously super high source of vitamin C, riboflavin and antioxidants.
Guava
Guavas contain 628% the daily value of vitamin C in a single serving! They contain both carotenoids and polyphenols like gallocatechin, guaijaverin, leucocyanidin and amritoside–the major classes of antioxidant pigments – giving them relatively high potential antioxidant value among plant foods.
Lemon & Orange Peel And Pith
Vitamin C does not work properly without bioflavonoids, and citrus peels and pith are the best sources. Although each plant in this formula already contains it’s own built-in bioflavonoids, adding a bit of lemon and orange peel and pith really boosts the power even more.
How much vitamin C is in this formula?
Answer: A massive amount! The highest source of vitamin C in the world is Gubinge (Kakadu Plum) from the Australia wild lands which is in this formula. It has 3000mg of vitamin C per 100g. Camu Camu is 2500 when it is fresh, but it’s very unstable and loses its value very quickly (why most of it tastes bitter). That's why I don’t have Camu in my formula. People think citrus is high in vitamin C, but oranges only have 138mg/100g! That’s nothing. Ok, so if the highest plant source in the world is 3000, ...how much is this Markus Wild Force formula? Drum roll... get ready for this... 4,368mg/100g! That’s more than the highest single plant source. How is that possible? Because there is an alchemy that happens when mixing things together if done properly. Plants work synergistically so the final mixed product behaves differently than taking each plant separately.
