1 cup of mango provides 25% of daily recommended adult intake for vitamin A! Vitamin A is good for our immune system, skin, eyes, hair, bones, and reproductive system.
1 cup of mango provides 75% of daily recommended adult intake for vitamin C! Mango is one of the highest food sources of vitamin C. We all know this vitamin helps our immune system, but it also helps with iron absorption – Iron absorption is extra important for babies!
