MEASURED NUTRIENT ROLES
Top nutrients that support the body
For 100 g, the strongest Daily Value contributions among nutrients available in this record are Vitamin C (1,867% DV), Copper (9.6% DV) and Pantothenic acid (B5) (6.2% DV). The cards explain the normal roles of those nutrients, not a treatment effect of the food.
Vitamin C: collagen and antioxidant function
This amount provides 1,680 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 referenceCopper: iron metabolism and nerves
This amount provides 0.09 mg. Copper supports energy production, connective tissue, iron metabolism, and normal nervous and immune function. 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 0.31 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 referenceRiboflavin (B2): energy and cell growth
This amount provides 0.06 mg. Riboflavin helps convert food into energy and supports cell growth, development and function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceMagnesium: energy, muscles and nerves
This amount provides 18 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 referenceVitamin A: vision and immune function
This amount provides 38 µg. Vitamin A supports normal vision, immune function, growth and cell development. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Vitamin C
This amount provides 1,680 mg. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and supports collagen production, immune function and absorption of nonheme iron. This is a measured nutrient contribution, not proof that the food prevents or treats disease.
