The Acerola cherry is well known for its exceptionally high vitamin C content. The vitamin C content of one tiny cherry is 65 times higher than what is found in an orange. In other words, the vitamin C found in one cherry is equal to the minimum daily requirement needed by the body. The vitamin C prevalent in acerola can help boost the immune system, strengthen the liver, improve skin and improve your body's ability to regenerate tissue. It also may help boost your bodies immune system which can help prevent colds, infections, hair loss and dental problems. The free radical scavenging benefits of Acerola are also useful for preventing abnormal growths and fighting cellular aging.

Raw wild Acerola Cherries are an excellent source of powerful antioxidants, carotenoids and flavonoids. They are rich in protein and mineral salts especially iron, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium. And also have marked anti-fungal activity. Acerola also contains high levels of Vitamin A, potassium and folate. Vitamin A is beneficial for eye health and neutralizing free radicals in the body. The potassium helps regulate blood pressure and heart function and can even elevate mood. Folate is essential for cellular growth, protecting against heart disease and for the proper development of fetuses during pregnancy.

In folk medicine, acerola cherry's were eaten to reduce headaches. Recent research done at Michigan State University suggests that the folk medicine practitioners may have been on to something. Researchers point to the anthocyanins found in acerola cherries as the main reason why they have been used to relieve headaches. Anthocyanins have anti inflammatory properties that can help reduce pain and swelling. Acerola has also been traditionally used to help relieve sore throats, fever, constipation, scurvy, diarrhea and liver disorders.
