The importance of good digestive health

When the digestive system is in optimal working order we feel better, because we're able to:

  • process food matter and absorb nutrients from food efficiently
  • fight off potentially harmful substances and bacteria
  • eliminate waste products efficiently and effortlessly

Kiwifruit and digestive health

Scientific studies have demonstrated how regular consumption of ZESPRI™ GREEN and GOLD Kiwifruit contributes to good digestive health. This includes:

  • prevention of bloating
  • improved bowel habits
  • positive alterations in intestinal enzymes, which may help in natural resistance to illness
  • the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibition of harmful bacteria

Kiwifruit are therefore a naturally palatable and gentle way of improving many aspects of bowel function.

The unique type of fibre and other bioactive substances present in ZESPRI™ GREEN and GOLD Kiwifruit are key to the effects on digestive health.
