    The variety of beverages rich in vitamins A and C remains limited in our country, despite the agricultural diversity of foods rich in these nutrients, which are essential for the proper functioning of the immune system. The objective was to evaluate the acceptability of a nectar made with alfalfa, mango, and camu camu among Adventists in Lima, Peru. Methodology: Applied research, experimental, prospective, and cross-sectional design. A nectar was made using alfalfa, mango, and camu camu, its nutritional value calculated, and sensory characteristics such as odor, taste, and color were evaluated with 100 volunteers from the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in the Independencia district of Lima, Peru. Results: The nectar made from alfalfa, mango, and camu camu contains 23 mg of vitamin A and 504.26 mg of vitamin C, with 53% acceptance for color, 64% for odor, and 71% for taste among Adventists in Lima, Peru. Conclusions: The nectar provides a significant contribution of vitamins A and C, important nutrients for the immune system.
