VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS
Mandarin orange juice
Mandarins, like other citrus fruits, are particularly rich in primary metabolites, such as sugars and organic acids, amino acids and vitamins (vitamin C, provitamin A and B vitamins, mainly folic acid), as well as secondary metabolites, such as carotenoids, polyphenols (mainly flavonoids and flavones) and phenolic acids, limonoids and volatile compounds that together provide the characteristic flavor and nutritional benefits of mandarins.
Flavonoid
Flavonoids in citrus fruits can help reduce the risk or delay the onset of cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.
Total carotenoids
Carotenoids are yellow, orange or red pigments synthesized by plants. The antioxidant activity of carotenoids is very important and may reduce the risk of developing chronic degenerative diseases.
Beta-carotene
Beta-carotene is an orange pigment found in certain fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A, which means that in the human body it is converted into vitamin A (retinol). Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin and mucous membranes, a well-functioning immune system and eye health.
Calcium
Calcium is an essential mineral for healthy bones and teeth, with most of the body's calcium being stored in them. Calcium is also important for the muscular and nervous system, for the health of the cardiovascular system and in the synthesis of hormones involved in many functions of the human body.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. It is a water-soluble vitamin that occurs naturally in various fruits and vegetables. The human body cannot synthesize vitamin C endogenously, so it is an essential dietary component obtained exclusively from food. In addition to its function in the biosynthesis of certain compounds and its antioxidant properties, vitamin C plays an important role in immune function and improves iron absorption. Vitamin C is required for the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine and certain neurotransmitters and plays an important role in protein metabolism. Vitamin C is a physiologically important antioxidant and has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants in the body, including vitamin E.
Folates (Folic acid)
Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin of the B vitamin group, also known as vitamin B9. The body uses folates to produce genetic material, for the process of cell division and for the development of red blood cells.
Grapefruit juice
Grapefruit juice contains several compounds that may exert beneficial health effects. Grapefruit juice can be considered as an important dietary source of nutrients and antioxidant compounds, especially flavonoids, anthocyanins and polyphenols. Consumption of grapefruit has also been associated with a considerable intake of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, dietary fiber and an improvement in diet quality.
Flavonoid
Citrus flavonoids may help reduce the risk or delay the onset of cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. Hesperidin is a type of flavonoid with important pharmacological effects such as free radical neutralization and anti-inflammatory effect.
Antociani
Anthocyanins are the substances that give fruits and vegetables their purple, blue or red color. The health benefits of anthocyanins are recognized in the literature, in particular their importance in the prevention of diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
Beta carotene
Beta-carotene is an orange pigment found in certain fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A, which means that in the human body it is converted into vitamin A (retinol). Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin and mucous membranes, a well-functioning immune system and eye health.
Licopen
Lycopene belongs to the group of carotenoids. It is recognized as a powerful antioxidant. Lycopene has been found to be effective in reducing the risk of cancer, diabetes mellitus, cardiac complications, oxidative stress-mediated dysfunction, inflammatory events, bone and skin diseases, liver, neuronal and reproductive disorders.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. It is a water-soluble vitamin that occurs naturally in various fruits and vegetables. The human body cannot synthesize vitamin C endogenously, so it is an essential dietary component obtained exclusively from food. In addition to its function in the biosynthesis of certain compounds and its antioxidant properties, vitamin C plays an important role in immune function and improves iron absorption. Vitamin C is required for the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine and certain neurotransmitters and plays an important role in protein metabolism. Vitamin C is a physiologically important antioxidant and has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants in the body, including vitamin E.
Magnesium
Magnesium is an abundant mineral in the human body. Magnesium is a cofactor for a multitude of enzyme systems that regulate various biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control and blood pressure regulation. Magnesium contributes to the structural development of bones and is required for the synthesis of DNA, RNA and glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. Magnesium also plays an important role in the active transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes, a process that is important for nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction and normal heart rhythm.
Potassium
Potassium is an important mineral for multiple functions in the human body, including proper functioning of the kidneys and heart, muscle contraction and nerve signal transmission. Potassium is present in all tissues of the body and is necessary for normal cell function due to its role in maintaining intracellular fluid volume.
POSSIBLE BENEFITS
Mandarin orange juice
Antioxidant effect
Tangerines are rich in antioxidant plant compounds such as flavonoids. Carotenoids such as beta-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin are compounds that give mandarin oranges their intense orange color and also have antioxidant activity.
The body converts beta-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin into vitamin A, which is essential for a healthy immune system, vision and harmonious body development.
Anticarcinogenic effect
Flavonoids may have a protective effect against cancer by suppressing genes that support the growth of cancer cells. Beta-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin due to their antioxidant effect may help reduce the risk of developing cancer.
Immunostimulant effect
With their high vitamin C content, tangerines can help support the immune system.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that boosts immune cell function to fight oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Carotenoids such as beta-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin are precursors of vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for a well-functioning immune system. Tangerines are also an excellent source of vitamin C, another very important nutrient for the functioning of the immune system.
Beneficial for skin and wound healing
Vitamin C improves skin and tissue integrity. High-dose vitamin C supplementation can shorten wound healing time. Beta-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin are biotransformed into vitamin A, an essential vitamin for skin health.
Beneficial effect on digestion
Citrus fruits, including tangerines, are rich in soluble fiber. Soluble fiber can help improve bowel transit and relieve symptoms of constipation. Tangerines also contain insoluble fiber. Insoluble fibers pass through the intestine without breaking down and are associated with a lower risk of chronic diseases and may help maintain a normal body weight.
Antilitiazic effect
A diet rich in citrus fruits like tangerines may be associated with a reduced risk of developing kidney stones. These are crystallized minerals that the body excretes in the urine. Low levels of citrate in the urine can cause certain types of kidney stones to form. Regular consumption of citrus fruits can increase citrate levels, which are thought to reduce the risk of developing kidney stones.
Grapefruit juice
Antioxidant effect
In particular, pink and red grapefruit contain beta-carotene and lycopene, carotenoids that act as antioxidants. Research has found that including carotenoid-rich foods in the diet can reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers.
Immunostimulant effect
Grapefruit contains high amounts of vitamins A and C. Both help support the immune system.
Beneficial effect on blood sugar
Grapefruit has a low glycemic index. Foods with a low glycemic index do not raise blood glucose as quickly or as much as foods with a high glycemic index.
Anticarcinogenic effect
Grapefruit is a rich source of carotenoids, but also of vitamin C which is an important antioxidant. Vitamin C helps prevent cell damage and some studies have linked high amounts of vitamin C with a reduced risk of cancer. In general, antioxidants help prevent cancer by preventing cell damage caused by free radicals.
Moisturizing effect
Grapefruit has a very high water content. One cup of chopped pink or red grapefruit contains 203 grams of water. The high water content can help prevent and relieve constipation, maintain body temperature and protect joints.
Anti-obesity effect
Eating grapefruit can help manage body weight and weight loss when integrated into a balanced and healthy diet. The fiber and water content in grapefruit is ideal for weight loss.
One cup of grapefruit pulp with juice contains about 3.7 grams of fiber. The fiber in grapefruit helps you feel full. Grapefruit is also low in calories.
Toning and vitaminizing effect
Research has linked grapefruit consumption to improved diet quality by increasing nutrient intake. Grapefruit is an important source of nutrients such as vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, vitamin A and fiber. Half a red or pink grapefruit provides 100% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C and 35% of vitamin A.
Hypotensive effect
Grapefruit helps lower blood pressure thanks to its potassium content. Potassium helps neutralize the adverse effects of sodium and relaxes blood vessel walls.
Beneficial effect on skin and wound healing
Vitamin C in grapefruit helps produce collagen and stimulates dermal fibroblast production. Collagen is a protein that helps wounds heal. Dermal fibroblasts are cells that repair the skin after it has been damaged.
AFFECTIONS
Viral infections
Viral infections are contagious diseases caused by viruses. There are several types of viral infections, including respiratory infections, gastric infections, herpes infections, skin infections and many others. The symptoms of a viral infection will depend on the part of the body affected and the virus contacted. Most viral infections go away on their own, but some infections can become severe and require treatment.
Oncologic diseases (cancer)
Cancer is a large group of diseases that can start in almost any organ or tissue of the body when abnormal cells grow out of control and invade adjacent parts or spread to other organs. Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. Lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach and liver cancers are the most common types of cancer in men, while breast, colorectal, lung, cervical and thyroid cancers are the most common in women.
Astenie
Asthenia is a broad term describing general tiredness and weakness that causes both physical and mental symptoms.
Obese and overweight
Overweight and obesity is an abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat that poses a health risk. A body mass index greater than 25 means overweight and a body mass index greater than 30 indicates obesity.
Constipation
Constipation is characterized by a slow bowel transit, hard stools and bowel movements less than three times a week. Symptoms of constipation may include lumpy, hard or dry stools, a feeling of fullness even after bowel movements, and straining or straining during bowel movements.
Kidney stones
Kidney stones is a chronic disease characterized by the formation of stones (calculi) in the urinary system. A kidney stone can form when minerals build up in the urinary tract, creating crystals that consolidate into a stone-like mass.
Cardiovascular diseases
Cardiovascular diseases are a group of disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels. They include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease and other related conditions. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot use the insulin it does produce efficiently. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood glucose. Hyperglycaemia is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and, over time, leads to serious damage to many systems and organs, especially nerves and blood vessels.
