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 (18.9% DV), Manganese (10.4% DV) and Copper (6.8% DV). The cards explain the normal roles of those nutrients, not a treatment effect of the food.

Vitamin C: collagen and antioxidant function

18.9% adult DV in 100 g
Collagen formationAntioxidant function

This amount provides 17 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.

Manganese: metabolism and antioxidant enzymes

10.4% adult DV in 100 g
MetabolismAntioxidant enzymes

This amount provides 0.24 mg. Manganese supports metabolism, bone formation and antioxidant enzyme systems. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Copper: iron metabolism and nerves

6.8% adult DV in 100 g
Iron metabolismNervous system

This amount provides 0.06 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.

Potassium: fluid balance and muscles

4.7% adult DV in 100 g
Fluid balanceMuscle and nerve function

This amount provides 220 mg. Potassium supports normal cell function, fluid balance, nerve transmission and muscle contraction. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Read the NIH/FDA nutrient reference

Magnesium: energy, muscles and nerves

4% adult DV in 100 g
Energy metabolismMuscle and nerve function

This amount provides 16.8 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 reference

Dietary fiber: digestion and fullness

3.4% adult DV in 100 g
Digestive systemBowel regularity

This amount provides 0.96 g. Dietary fiber supports digestion, adds bulk to stool, and can help with fullness. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

MEASURED CONTRIBUTIONS AND REVIEWED RECORDS

Food-specific benefits & evidence

Contributes Vitamin C

18.9% adult DV in 100 g

This amount provides 17 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.
