A research report released by American scientists states that orange juice can enhance the body's absorption of medication, thereby increasing its effectiveness.

Researchers from the University of North Carolina reported in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" that grapefruit juice may enhance drug efficacy. Following this, these researchers conducted further experiments and discovered that orange juice also contains a special chemical substance that can promote drug absorption. This substance can inhibit the breakdown of drug components in the intestines, allowing the drug to enter the bloodstream at several times or even more than ten times the usual amount, thereby enhancing the body's absorption of the drug and increasing its effectiveness.

Additionally, drinking orange juice rich in vitamin C helps dilate blood vessels and boost the body's immune system. At the same time, orange juice promotes the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and helps eliminate harmful substances that enter the body through air and food.
