Nutrition Facts

I came about to read further on the nutrition facts based on the fruits that was used to make the enzyme.

Here are the some two essential nutritions :
Vitamin A (Retinol)
Vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin, plays essential roles in vision, growth, and development; the development and maintenance of healthy skin, hair, and mucous membranes; immune functions; and reproduction.
