Overview

Camu Camu extract (Camu CTM) is a natural prebiotic intervention derived from the Amazonian fruit *Myrciaria dubia*. It is being investigated by the McGill University Health Centre for its potential to reduce systemic inflammation and immune activation in people living with HIV who are on stable antiretroviral therapy (ART). The extract is rich in vitamin C and polyphenols, which are thought to modulate the gut microbiota, specifically by increasing the abundance of *Akkermansia muciniphila*. This modulation aims to strengthen the gut barrier, thereby reducing the translocation of microbial products like lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the bloodstream, which is a key driver of chronic inflammation in HIV-infected individuals. The intervention is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 pilot study to assess its impact on circulating LPS levels and gut microbiota composition.
