Guava fruit functions as a co-factor for antioxidant enzymes.

in #photography6 years ago

Steemiant, today I will share some photos of plants or guava fruit.
Psidium guajava or often also called guava, guava siki and guava is a tropical plant. Guava has green fruit with white or red flesh and sour-sweet taste. Guava fruit is known to contain lots of vitamin C.

This simple fruit is very rich in vitamin C, lycopene and antioxidants which are beneficial for the skin. Guava is also rich in manganese which helps the body absorb other important nutrients from the food we eat. Guava also contains folic acid, a mineral that helps increase fertility. Potassium in guava helps normalize blood pressure

This fruit is also a source of complex B vitamins such as pantothenic acid, niacin, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin E and K, as well as minerals such as magnesium, copper, and manganese. The human body uses manganese as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Copper is also needed for the production of red blood cells.
