    Orange is rich in vitamin C, but which method is better than taking vitamin C tablets? According to a new study published in the Journal of Food Science in the United States, food scientists have found the reason that "eating oranges is better than simply taking vitamin C and other pills", according to foreign media Researchers at Brigham Young University, who have completed the new study, say that a particular combination of antioxidants in oranges works better than a single fight Antioxidants can alleviate the aging process of cells, prevent various cancers, and help prevent heart disease The new study was led by Dr Torry Parker, Professor of nutrition, dietetics and food science He said that some substances in oranges are better than taking vitamin C capsules or tablets, which are exactly what scientists are trying to find Scientists believe that the reason why orange is more effective than vitamin C alone is that various antioxidants in orange form a special "strong combination" The researchers found that the biochemical substance "phenol complex" with antioxidant and antibacterial properties in orange had "synergistic effect" These substances are "sharp tools" that plants use to protect themselves from decay and biological attack Professor Parker said that fruit is easy to eat Besides vitamins, it can also supplement other nutrients New research results show that the effect of fruit vitamin supplement is definitely much better than taking some vitamin tablets alone.
