Draft:Hyperfood
| Submission declined on 19 November 2024 by Mcmatter (talk). Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

A hyperfood is a unique classification of food characterised by an exceptionally high nutrient density and health benefits that surpass those of conventional "superfoods." This term is specifically reserved for foods exhibiting extraordinary concentrations of vitamins, antioxidants, or bioactive compounds, with the potential to significantly impact human health and well-being. Unlike superfoods, which encompass a broad range of nutritionally rich foods, hyperfoods are distinguished by their unparalleled nutritional profiles and scientific validation of their health benefits.
Camu Camu: The Only Recognised Hyperfood The Camu Camu berry (Myrciaria dubia), native to the Amazon rainforest, is the only recognised hyperfood. This berry stands out for its remarkable concentration of nutrients and scientifically proven health benefits.
Key Health Benefits of Camu Camu
Protects Against Oxidative Stress[1] Research has shown that Camu Camu exhibits potent antioxidant properties, helping to combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation, which are linked to chronic diseases.[2] Increases Energy[3] Incorporating Camu Camu into a diet has been associated with improved energy levels, likely due to its high vitamin C content and other bioactive compounds. Supports Mental Well-Being[4] Studies suggest that Camu Camu may contribute to mental health by reducing inflammation and promoting mood stability. Improves Neural Viability and Function[5] Emerging research indicates that Camu Camu has neuroprotective effects, enhancing neural viability and cognitive function. Improves Metabolism[6] Research demonstrates that Camu Camu can support metabolic health, improving glucose tolerance and reducing metabolic inflammation. Benefits Skin Health[7] Camu Camu is recognised for its skin-enhancing properties, as its rich antioxidant content helps fight free radicals and promotes collagen production. Strengthens the Immune System[8] The berry’s extraordinarily high levels of vitamin C and flavonoids are known to boost immune function and help the body combat infections. Prevents Muscle Breakdown Post-Exercise[9] Camu Camu aids in muscle recovery and helps prevent muscle protein breakdown after intense exercise, making it a popular choice among athletes. Future Prospects of Hyperfoods The concept of hyperfoods is still evolving. With Camu Camu serving as a prime example, ongoing research into nutrient-dense foods may uncover other hyperfoods with extraordinary health properties. Such discoveries could open doors to innovative approaches in functional nutrition and health interventions.
