Citrus fruits, including oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, and tangerines, are among the most widely consumed functional foods, valued for their rich concentration of vitamin C, flavonoids, and other bioactive compounds. Research suggests that the antioxidant properties of citrus flavonoids, particularly hesperidin and naringenin, may support immune function, promote skin health through collagen synthesis, and help protect cells from oxidative stress. Studies also indicate that citric acid found naturally in these fruits may play a role in supporting kidney health by helping to reduce the risk of certain types of kidney stone formation. Additionally, the vitamin C content in citrus fruits is well documented for enhancing the absorption of non-heme iron from plant-based foods, making them a practical complement to a varied diet.
