HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Camu Camu Vitamin C Caps by Greens+
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: vitamin C. The capsule is made from vegetable cellulose.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Vitamin C is effective for preventing and treating vitamin C deficiency. The evidence suggests it may help with anemia of chronic disease, atrial fibrillation, cataracts, and reducing respiratory infections after exercise, though the data for these uses is less established than it is for deficiency.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Vitamin C from food and normal supplement doses is generally well tolerated. At higher doses — above 2 grams daily — you're more likely to experience side effects like stomach cramps, heartburn, diarrhea, nausea, or headache.
People prone to kidney stones should be cautious, as high-dose vitamin C has been linked to stone formation. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, normal dietary amounts and the doses in prenatal vitamins are considered likely safe.
However, high-dose vitamin C supplements are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your doctor advises it — the data on safety at high doses is insufficient.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you use birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy (Moderate interaction), blood thinners like warfarin (Moderate), chemotherapy drugs (Moderate), the antipsychotic fluphenazine (Moderate), the HIV medication indinavir (Moderate), levothyroxine for thyroid disease (Moderate), or aluminum-containing antacids (Moderate). No interactions are documented for camu camu fruit and juice powder itself.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Camu Camu Vitamin C Caps is a straightforward source of vitamin C and works well for preventing or correcting deficiency. If you take birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, blood thinners, chemotherapy, thyroid medication, or antipsychotics, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — this product may affect how those medications work.
At normal doses it's generally well tolerated, but very high intakes can cause stomach upset and other side effects.

Camu Camu Vitamin C Caps by Greens+ Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Camu Camu Vitamin C Caps from Greens+ contains vitamin C, which does interact with several medication types.
The most serious interaction we have data for involves estrogens (birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy, including patches and creams) — vitamin C may raise blood levels of estrogen by up to 55%, which could increase the risk of side effects from those hormones.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Vitamin C also interacts with blood thinners like warfarin at higher doses, potentially reducing how well they work. If you take warfarin, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.
The supplement also affects how your body handles chemotherapy drugs (both alkylating agents and antitumor antibiotics), antipsychotics like fluphenazine, the HIV medication indinavir, the thyroid drug levothyroxine, and aluminum-containing compounds — all rated as Moderate interactions.
We could not check camu camu fruit and juice powder itself because it's a blend and its individual components weren't listed separately. Altogether, these interactions span 207 individual medications.
Run your exact prescriptions through the medication checker on this page to see if any of yours are affected.
