Natural Wellness through Kiwifruit Enzymes
In today’s world, more people are reaching for natural alternatives and healthier options to enhance their wellness. At KiwiEnzyme.com Ltd, we are proud to offer a product that aligns perfectly with this shift.
​
Our kiwifruit extract powder contains Actindin, a natural proteolytic enzyme. Proteolytic enzymes play a key role in breaking down protein molecules, splitting long protein chains into smaller components, such as amino acids. This breakdown process is known as protein hydrolysis.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​The benefits of kiwifruit extract extend beyond its natural origins. In the healthcare market, Actinidin is recognized for its positive impact on immune and gut health. With ongoing research and experience, we are confident that its beneficial activity within the human body will continue to be validated.​​​
Digestive Support
Kiwifruit extract, rich in the proteolytic enzyme Actinidin, promotes improved digestion, including better protein breakdown and enhanced bowel health. This is particularly significant for aging populations, whose digestive efficiency naturally declines.
Immune Support
Actinidin-active kiwifruit extracts are highly concentrated and retain the bioactive compounds of whole kiwifruit. Their prebiotic properties foster a balanced gut microbiome, which is closely linked to immune function, offering strong potential for immune health formulations.
Prebiotic Functionality
The combination of soluble and insoluble fibers supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. This microbiota balance is crucial for overall health and in mitigating the risk of chronic diseases, making kiwifruit extract a valuable component in gut health and wellness products.
Glycemic Control
The soluble fibers in kiwifruit form a gel-like matrix that moderates the absorption of sugars and cholesterol, contributing to its low glycemic index. This characteristic is particularly relevant for developing products aimed at blood sugar regulation and metabolic health.
Cardiovascular Health
Regular kiwifruit consumption has been shown to reduce platelet aggregation and blood triglyceride levels, both significant factors in cardiovascular disease prevention. This positions kiwifruit extract as a promising ingredient for heart health formulations.
