MEASURED NUTRIENT ROLES
Top nutrients that support the body
For 100 g, the strongest Daily Value contributions among nutrients available in this record are Magnesium (9.5% DV), Iron (6.3% DV) and Vitamin C (5.9% DV). The cards explain the normal roles of those nutrients, not a treatment effect of the food.
Magnesium: energy, muscles and nerves
This amount provides 40 mg. Magnesium supports enzyme reactions, energy production, protein synthesis, and normal muscle and nerve function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceIron: oxygen transport
This amount provides 1.13 mg. Iron is needed for hemoglobin and myoglobin, which carry oxygen, and supports growth and neurological development. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceVitamin C: collagen and antioxidant function
This amount provides 5.3 mg. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and supports collagen production, immune function and absorption of nonheme iron. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceZinc: immune function and repair
This amount provides 0.48 mg. Zinc supports immune function, DNA and protein synthesis, wound healing, growth and the sense of taste. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referencePantothenic acid (B5): fatty-acid and energy metabolism
This amount provides 0.18 mg. Pantothenic acid is needed to make coenzyme A, which is central to fatty-acid and energy metabolism. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceVitamin B6: metabolism and brain development
This amount provides 0.06 mg. Vitamin B6 supports many enzyme reactions involved in metabolism, brain development and immune function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
Contributes Magnesium
This amount provides 40 mg. Magnesium supports enzyme reactions, energy production, protein synthesis, and normal muscle and nerve function. This is a measured nutrient contribution, not proof that the food prevents or treats disease.
