Mango isn’t called the “queen of fruits” without reason. Its golden color, sweet flavor, and numerous health benefits make it a true superfruit. But what’s really inside a mango? In this blog post, we take a closer look at the nutrients this tropical fruit offers and explain why it’s the perfect ingredient for our GING IT shots.
Why Mango is a Superfruit
Mango isn’t just delicious; it’s packed with nutrients. Here’s why mango is considered a superfruit and why it’s essential in our shots:
Rich in Vitamin C
Mango is an excellent source of vitamin C. A single mango contains about 60 mg, covering 80% of an adult’s daily requirement. For comparison, an orange contains around 70 mg. Vitamin C strengthens the immune system, keeps skin healthy, and protects the body from free radicals.
Antioxidants for Radiant Skin
In addition to vitamin C, mango is rich in antioxidants like beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. These natural compounds protect the skin from damage, slow aging, and help reduce wrinkles, making mango perfect for those prioritizing skin health.
A Natural Energy Booster
With its natural sugars (mainly fructose), mango provides a quick energy source. Containing 45-50 g of sugar per fruit, mango offers an immediate energy boost without heavily impacting blood sugar, making it a healthy alternative to sugary snacks.
Supports Digestion
Mango contains enzymes like amylase that aid digestion by breaking down carbohydrates more efficiently. Regular mango consumption supports a healthy digestive system and promotes a balanced gut flora.
Ideal for Hydration
With a water content of around 80%, mango is both refreshing and hydrating. It’s an excellent choice for hot weather or post-exercise, replenishing fluids while providing vital nutrients.
