Terminalia ferdinandiana
An Australian native fruit with the highest recorded natural vitamin C content — up to 100x more than oranges.
Kakadu Plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana) is an Australian native fruit renowned for possessing the highest recorded natural vitamin C content, up to 100 times that of oranges. It is traditionally used for immune support, wound healing, and general nutrition, while modern research highlights its potent antioxidant, antimicrobial, and skin health benefits. Key bioactive compounds include ascorbic acid, ellagic acid, gallic acid, and luteolin, which contribute to its diverse therapeutic actions.
The high ascorbic acid content acts as a potent electron donor, neutralizing reactive oxygen species and regenerating other antioxidants like vitamin E. Ellagic acid and gallic acid inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes such as COX-2 and LOX, and modulate NF-κB signaling, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Luteolin exerts antimicrobial effects by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting DNA gyrase. Additionally, the fruit's polyphenols enhance collagen synthesis and protect against UV-induced skin damage via activation of the Nrf2 pathway.
