Smidge® Kakadu Plum

Supports the immune system and cellular protection with natural vitamin C, antioxidants and phytonutrients from organic, wild-harvested Australian Kakadu plums — the highest known food source of vitamin C.*

Crafted without ascorbic acid or fillers, this pure, whole-food supplement is sustainably sourced and gently dried to preserve its potent, easily absorbed nutrients.

60 capsules = 1-month supply

 

Sacred Aboriginal food from Australia’s Northern Territory

This precious, real food supplement is sustainably hand-harvested from Australia’s Northern Territory — home to the world’s oldest cultures, the indigenous Aboriginal Australians, who have used the fruit to support robust health for thousands of years.*

 

Pure & crafted to retain as much vitamin C as possible

Like all Smidge® supplements, our Kakadu Plum is as pure as can be. It's made entirely from the fresh puree of the fruit, which is dehydrated with a gentle drying technique called refractance window drying — a unique method that uses infrared light, rather than high heat, to remove water from food. This method is unmatched in preserving the fruit's natural vitamin C. It also enables your body to absorb and use the vitamin C, rather than excreting large amounts shortly after consuming the harsh, synthetic stuff (leaving you with inflammation in the gut or urinary tract).*

 

No common allergens, fillers — or ascorbic acid

Free of common allergens, additives and fillers, our Kakadu Plum capsules are easy on those with sensitive digestive systems and fit right in with many dietary protocols. 

You also won't find added ascorbic acid, the synthetic form of vitamin C in most commercial supplements (even “food-based)”, that can cause nutrient imbalances and negative side effects.* 

Here's the rub with ascorbic acid… Most "food-based" vitamin C supplements are fortified with ascorbic acid, even though it's not listed on the label. For example, you can purchase raw material, such as acerola powder, that’s "standardized" to a certain vitamin C percentage. During production, heat destroys some (or most) of the vitamin C in the acerola powder and ascorbic acid is added to standardize the vitamin C levels. A supplement company may unwittingly buy "all-natural acerola powder" and not realize (or disclose) that up to 100% of the vitamin C is actually fortified ascorbic acid.* 

 

How vitamin C nurtures the body

Smidge® Kakadu Plum is a real food vitamin C supplement, bursting with the highest natural amounts of vitamin C you can get. Our customers take it to support immunity, fulfill their daily requirements (✓!), and soak up all of the other sunny, happy vitamin C benefits.

Your body depends on vitamin C to help form and maintain bones, skin and blood vessels, build up the immune system and protect cells from free radicals.* Since your body cannot supply its own, vitamin C is a must for your healthy diet. Check out these well-documented benefits of vitamin C and the Kakadu plum:

  • Vitamin C supports your immune system with powerful antioxidants that protect cells.*  
  • It keeps your cells super strong and may block free radicals.*  
  • Vitamin C supports glutathione production and the creation of collagen, an essential component of connective tissue, which gives skin elasticity and vitality.*  
  • It supports mood, energy levels and cognitive function.*  

 

More precious, naturally-occurring nutrients

Kakadu plum contains phytonutrients like ellagic acid, which has antioxidant and antimicrobial capacities, to support cells.* They also contain many antioxidants, including quercetin, flavonols, aromatic acids, anthocyanin and lutein. Antioxidants may protect against the effects of free radicals.* To put the amount into perspective, Kakadu plum contains six times the number of polyphenols and almost 13 times more antioxidant activity than blueberries!* 

Plus, Kakadu plum has copper and iron, which are used to form red blood cells, bones, connective tissue, enzymes, as well as support fetal development and the immune system.* These minerals help transport oxygen throughout the body and red blood cell production.* 

Other nutrients in Kakadu plum include flavonols, aromatic acids, anthocyanins and lutein.* 

 

Sustainability

Smidge work hand-in-hand with an Australian partner to supply Smidge® Kakadu Plum to you and your families. In this regard, supporting and honoring local communities and groups is imperative. This includes the indigenous Aboriginal communities of the Larrakia and Djerimanga through our operations, with whom we’re honored to work with during harvesting and production. 

We respect the traditional owners of the lands where we harvest the Kakadu plums. And, we promote responsible and sustainable operations so that native Australian flora and fauna can exist for generations to come. 

Further, we only pick approved fruit to ensure the native plants have room to grow each season. We also ensure that any harvest by-products are used to support the area’s wildlife.
