THE SCIENCE BIT
Loaded with VITAMIN C plums aid the absorption of IRON in the body and support the immune system and the adrenals as well as connective tissue. This is an all-around winner for those children with low iron levels and immune disturbances. Plums are also a great source of INSOLUBLE FIBRE to keep the gut and the immune system healthy. Plums are loaded with ANTIOXIDANTS, especially those with darker skin, fighting free radicals to keep cells healthy and strong.
