Blood Orange Juice (liquid)

Blood orange juice contains high amounts of various bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and ascorbic acid. Together, in a synergistic way, they provide a powerful antioxidant and protective effect.

Flavonoids have a protective effect against oxidative stress, inflammation, infections, and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Anthocyanins are water-soluble compounds responsible for the bright color of the fruit and, when exposed to heat stress, produce a greater quantity of protective substances. Carotenoids are important nutrients with antioxidant, cardioprotective, and antimutagenic activity.

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, a cofactor in several enzymatic reactions, is essential for collagen synthesis.
