Vitamins A and B

 

Citrus fruits enhance bone development and boost immune systems, help our vision and give consistency to the skin, hair and mucous membranes.

 

Folic acid or Vitamin B9

 

Vital in the growth stage and essential in various cellular processes in the early months of pregnancy. It also aids the formation of DNA, and the formation and maturation of blood cells, which are responsible for transporting oxygen throughout our body.

 

Elements such as calcium and phosphorus

 

These are especially relevant for the formation of bones and teeth. These elements have great importance in energy production through food and constitution of cells. They provide flexibility to the muscles and promote blood clotting and the transmission of messages from nerve cells.

 

They work by stimulating the formation of antibodies and the activity of phagocytes (cells that fight foreign particles like bacteria or germs). There is also an important anti-infective action.

 

Carotenoids

 

The fruit contains carotenoids, powerful antioxidants which help your body fight against free radicals, protecting the body from cardiovascular diseases, degenerative diseases and cancer.

 

Notes -

 

Vitamin C is easily degraded, so it is not suitable to expose the fruit to high temperatures, direct sunlight, changes in the environment or long periods of storage after picking.

 

Clementina Garden collects its fruit at the optimum stage of ripeness, so all natural properties, including vitamin C, are at a maximum.

 

A constant consumption of clementines helps to regulate intestinal transit.
