The researchers urge that this finding may be worth including in dietary counseling for anemia prevention. Guava is rich in folate, vitamin A, and dietary fiber, and has a modest amount of iron. Meanwhile, it is rich in vitamin C, with four times as much as oranges, which also boosts the uptake of iron.

Researchers discussing microbiome science
Lallemand Health Solutions and research teams from Université Laval, Canada, have launched a collaborative project to help develop a new generation of biotics for healthy aging. The teams aim to support cardiometabolic and neurocognitive health throughout aging with scientifically validated nutritional solutions. The partners note that as the gut microbiota and intestinal health alter with aging, these may contribute to declines in cardiometabolic and neurocognitive functions.
