Protecting Your Vision with Vitamin A from Mangoes

Protecting Your Vision with Vitamin A from Mangoes

Mangoes are often misunderstood in the health community. While they are undeniably sweet, they are also packed with essential micronutrients. Today, we answer one of the most common questions about mangoes and health.

Mangoes are among the top fruit sources of Vitamin A and its precursor, Beta-carotene. A single Alphonso mango can provide up to 25% of your daily Vitamin A needs.

Eye Health Benefits

  • Prevents night blindness: Vitamin A is essential for the production of rhodopsin, the protein in your eyes that allows you to see in low light
  • Reduces age-related macular degeneration risk: The antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin in mangoes protect the retina
  • Prevents dry eyes: Vitamin A maintains the mucous membranes of the eyes

For children, eating mangoes during the season is one of the most delicious ways to ensure adequate Vitamin A intake, which is critical during growth years.

The Aam Native Promise

By choosing explicitly carbide-free, naturally ripened mangoes from Aam Native, you protect your body from harmful synthetic ripening agents while enjoying the full nutritional benefits of the fruit as nature intended.

Order authentic, naturally-ripened Ratnagiri Alphonso mangoes and experience the difference that chemical-free farming makes.
