Bioactive Compounds
Lime is rich in beneficial bioactives that contribute to nutrition and wellness:
- Vitamin C (ascorbic acid): antioxidant and immune cofactor
- Flavanones (hesperidin, eriocitrin, naringenin): vascular and anti-inflammatory compounds
- Citric acid: supports digestion and mineral absorption
- Pectin: promotes gut microbiota balance
- Limonoids and terpenes (limonin, limonene, citral): antimicrobial and protective activity
Scientific Findings
Human-based evidence
- Iron absorption: Vitamin C in lime improves non-heme iron absorption when combined with iron-rich foods.
- Heart and vascular support: Flavanones enhance endothelial function and diet quality without adverse effects on weight.
Promising research (from citrus studies)
- Antioxidant activity: Regular citrus consumption lowers oxidative stress markers.
- Lipid regulation: Lime juice contributes modestly to cholesterol balance in controlled studies.
Laboratory findings
- Lime extracts inhibit microbial growth and show antiproliferative effects in cell models. These findings are scientific insights, not medical claims.
Bioavailability and Recommended Use
- Vitamin C is easily absorbed at normal dietary levels.
- Flavanones work best with regular intake.
- Suggested daily use: 30–90 ml of fresh lime juice, diluted or combined in meals.
- Combine lime with iron-rich foods such as beans and greens for better nutrient absorption.
- Retain the pulp and white layer for more fibre and bioactives.
Safety and Usage Notes
- Dental care: Avoid sipping lime juice frequently; rinse with water after drinking.
- Skin contact: Wash hands after handling lime to prevent skin sensitivity.
- Allergy: Rare. Culinary use is safe and compatible with most diets.
