Baobab Nutritional Information

Baobab Nutritional Information

The baobab tree is native to the tropical lands of Africa. The elongated oval shaped baobab fruit (like a potato) has a hard shell covered with soft yellowish-gray fur. The literature is abundant for its traditional use as a food. The most edible and frequently consumed part of this popular African fruit is the inner pulp. The pulp is commonly eaten raw or mixed with milk or water to make a drink. Wild Harvest Pharma's Baobab is packed with valuable nutrients which help to keep the body healthy.

Ascorbic Acid(vitamin C)
Baobab fruit pulp has a particularly high antioxidant capability mainly because of its high natural vitamin C content, which is equivalent to 6 oranges per 100 g. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for ascorbic acid is 75 mg for women and 90 mg for men. If we consider that baobab has an ascorbic acid content of 300 mg per 100 g pulp, the oral intake of 25 and 30 g respectively is able to provide to the daily vitamin C allowance......More

Protein
Protein is an important building block, necessary to make muscle. A high protein diet ensures that the body gets all the protein it needs, but these diets offer other benefits as well. When a diet high in protein is combined with one low in carbohydrates, the outcome is a formula for quick weight loss. Wild Harvest Pharma’s nutraceutical Baobab powder contains about 5% of the RDA per 100g.

Vitamin B1
Vitamin B1 or thiamin is a water-soluble vitamin that the body uses to process carbohydrates, fat, and proteins. The body also uses vitamin B1 to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel the body uses to run essential processes. It may also enhance circulation, help with blood formation, and other metabolic processes. Wild Harvest Pharma’s nutraceutical contains 0.11g/100g.

It is natural to experience a decline in vitamin B1 levels as you get older, even without any special medical conditions. Other than old age, those suffering from vitamin B1 deficiency include alcoholics, individuals with malabsorption conditions, and those with a very poor diet. Vitamin B1 deficiency is also common in children with congenital heart disease and people with chronic fatigue syndrome. Individuals that have regular kidney dialysis may also develop severe vitamin B1 deficiency, which can be life threatening........ More
