    FUEL UP WITH

    MANGOS
    THE SUPERFRUIT
    YOU’LL LOVE
    Bursting with over 20 vitamins and minerals, mangos are one of the tastiest ways
    to support a healthy lifestyle. One cup of mangos provides an excellent source of
    vitamins A and C, a good source of fiber and an amazing source of tropical flavor.
    For athletes, mangos and other superfruits can help optimize physical activity and
    performance by delivering readily available carbohydrates in a perfect 100 calorie
    portion.

    MANGOS AND PERFORMANCE


    The vitamins and minerals in mangos can also play a functional role in exercise performance and supporting
    recovery from training and regular exercise. One of the greatest things you can do to perform at your best is
    to stay healthy. Mangos contain several nutrients that play a role in immune function, including vitamin A,
    vitamin C, vitamin B6, and copper.

    Exercise can increase the production of free radicals, which can result in oxidative stress (sometimes felt as
    general fatigue) and muscle damage1. The antioxidants found in mangos and other fruits and vegetables can
    help protect the body against production of free radicals, and subsequent effects of oxidative stress. (Watson
    et al 2005)2.

    PERFECTLY PORTIONED SNACK FOR ATHLETES


    One Cup of Mangos Provides:
    * 100% of the daily requirement
    for vitamin C, an antioxidant that
    plays an important role in immune
    function.
    * 100 calories
    * A good source of fiber, which
    makes you feel full faster and
    therefore may help support weight
    management.
    * An excellent source of vitamin
    A, which helps maintain healthy
    skin and is important for immune
    function and bone growth.
    * An excellent source of folate, a
    B vitamin with many functions
    throughout the body, including
    cardiovascular health.
    * 10% of the Daily Value for both
    vitamin B6 and copper, to support
    healthy immune function.
