Minerals, especially :
- Iron :
the iron content of Agen prunes helps the body to maintain
the right serum iron level, especially in young girls and
pregnant women, and also helps oxygen capture by the blood.
- Potassium :
this is associated with low sodium levels (4 mg per 100 g)
and gives the Agen prune its natural diuretic properties as
well as stimulating cellular exchanges
Vitamins :
- Agen prunes contain virtually all the B vitamins, which
are known to play a part in the mechanisms that stimulate
cell immune systems and detoxification
- Provitamin A (or Beta-carotene), in great demand nowadays
for its anti-oxidising properties and protective effects against
free radical damage, which causes cell ageing
- Vitamin E, which also has biological anti-oxidising properties
