Oranges contain vitamin C, a nutrient essential for human health. Vitamin C increases the blood's resistance to oxidants and prevents scurvy, a condition caused by a lack of vitamin C that softens the gums and creates liver spots on the skin, leading to a loss of teeth, open wounds, and death. There is also some evidence supporting assertions that vitamin C improves or bolsters the immune system.

Oranges are also a relatively good source of carbohydrates, sugar, and fiber, which give the body energy.
