Vitamin C<\/a> can help support collagen production which is important for maintenance of healthy skin, bones, cartilage, muscle and blood vessels. Vitamin C is also important for the immune system, so vitamin C-rich foods may help support a healthy immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Citrus juices are reported to be the largest contributor of vitamin C in the diet.1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n Potassium<\/a> is a mineral important for muscle function, nerve transmission, pH maintenance (acid\/base balance), and maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance. Potassium may play an important role in cardiovascular health, so diets containing foods that are a good source of potassium and low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n Potassium has been identified as a Nutrient of Concern in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans,3<\/sup>\u00a0meaning that many Americans do not get enough of this important mineral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Folate<\/a> is important for cell division, growth and development, and the production of healthy red blood cells. Folate may help reduce the risk of birth defects of the brain and spinal cord, known as neural tube defects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To help reduce the risk of neural tube defects, women capable of becoming pregnant should get 400 micrograms of the synthetic form of folate (folic acid) every day while consuming food folate (the form found in foods and beverages such as orange juice) from a varied diet.4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n Include a glass of 100 percent orange juice as part of a healthy diet to increase your intake of folate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thiamin<\/a> is a water-soluble vitamin associated with the action of many enzyme systems and helps the body process energy from the food we eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Foods and beverages that are good sources of thiamin should be included as part of any healthy diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Calcium<\/a> aids in bone and tooth development, blood pressure regulation and muscle function. Fortified orange juice may help improve the status of calcium and vitamin D blood levels and provide benefits to bone health.5<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n Vitamin D works hand in hand with calcium to help support bone health. It may also play a role in brain development and support the immune, cardiovascular and muscle systems.6<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n Vitamin D has been identified as one of four Nutrients of Concern in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n Magnesium<\/a> helps the body generate energy from the foods we eat and is required for the action of many enzyme systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Magnesium plays an important role in maintaining normal nerve and muscle function, heart muscle rhythm and muscle contraction, blood pressure, bone health, and glucose and insulin metabolism.7<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n Also known as pyridoxine, vitamin B6<\/a> helps the body process protein and carbohydrates in food and helps produce hemoglobin, a part of red blood cells that carries oxygen to all parts of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vitamin B6 may provide benefits toward reducing the risk for cardiovascular disease.6<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n Carotenoids are pigments found naturally in some foods, primarily fruits and vegetables. Orange juice contains the carotenoid beta-cryptoxanthin, which can be converted to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A<\/a> is important for reproduction, vision, and immune function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oranges and orange juice are one of the main contributors of beta-cryptoxanthin in the U.S. diet.8<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\nAn 8-Ounce Glass of 100% Orange Juice is a Good Source of Potassium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
