Orange Peel's high vitamin C content (and A) makes it a wonderful supplement to strengthen the immune system and build immunity to combat invasive infection, colds, flu and many other ailments. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that protects your body's cells from damage, helps form the connective tissue collagen, keeps your capillaries and blood vessels healthy, and aids in the absorption of iron and folate. Orange Peel is an easily digestible, highly nutritious support for a healthy digestive tract and has helped ease gastrointestinal problems and complaints, such as dyspepsia, colic, flatulence, indigestion, diarrhea and heartburn and is said to be particularly effective in digesting fatty foods. The pectin in Orange Peel is a soluble fiber that may be helpful in lowering blood cholesterol and glucose levels.
