Yes! We love mangoes and with good reason. The deep orange colour indicates a rich, natural source of bioactive phytochemicals. Mango to Go is high in beta-carotene, bio-flavonoids, contains all four recognised anti-oxidants [Vitamin A, C, E and Selenium], as well as fibre, potassium and other minerals. Mango to Go is gluten free and has virtually
no fat (0.2% fat = 99.8% fat free).
Dietary antioxidants provide valuable assistance to the body’s own protection by neutralising free-radicals and are essential for a strong immune system, vitality and longevity.
Mango to Go boasts anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory properties. Mangoes also contain several enzymes that help to improve digestion. One of these enzymes is similar to the papain found in papaya.
