Yellow kiwifruit may boost immune health: study


By Stephen Daniells; April 18,2008 - Nutra Ingredients.

A puree from gold kiwifruit may enhance the immune response by promoting the production of antibodies in mice, suggests a new study from the home of the fruit.


The potential benefits could be due to the range of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals present in gold kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis 'Hort16A'; Tauranga, New Zealand), report researchers from the Horticulture and Food Research Institute of New Zealand and The Hopkirk Research Institute, AgResearch.
