THE RASPBERRY IS…
A HIGH NATURAL SOURCE OF DIETARY FIBER
One serving (100gr) of raspberries provides 28% of the recommended daily intake of dietary fiber. Eating foods high in fiber will help you control your weight by keeping you fuller for longer. Fiber also aids digestion and helps prevent constipation.
A HIGH NATURAL SOURCE OF VITAMIN C
One serving (100gr) of raspberries provides 44% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C. This vitamin is essential for skin, bones, and connective tissue, plus it increases iron absorption.
A NATURAL SOURCE OF POTASSIUM
One serving (100gr) of raspberries provides 4% of the recommended daily intake of potassium. This mineral helps nerves and muscles communicate, it allows nutrients to flow into cells, and it helps remove waste from cells. A diet rich in potassium helps counteract some of the harmful effects of sodium in blood pressure.
A NATURAL SOURCE OF FOLATE
One serving (100gr) of raspberries provides 5% of the recommended daily intake of folate. Both folate and folic acid are a type of B vitamin; folate occurs naturally in food, while folic acid is the synthetic form. It is important for all women to take folic acid, especially those who are pregnant as it helps prevent birth defects.
A NATURAL SOURCE OF MAGNESIUM
One serving (100gr) of raspberries provides 6% of the recommended daily intake of magnesium. This mineral helps neutralize stomach acid and it moves waste through the intestine.
