Kiwi Fruit Seed

Kiwi fruit seed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Kiwi fruit seed oil contains about 62% of ALA, a much higher amount than other sources of ALA, such as flaxseeds.

ALA is an important omega-3 essential fatty acid found only in plants. It must be obtained through diet because the human body cannot manufacture it, even though it is necessary for good health. ALA is partially converted in the human body into other omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Heart Health

Love your heart with kiwi fruit seeds. Emerging evidence suggests that diets containing omega-3 fatty acids may protect against heart disease and help prevent sudden cardiac death.

Kiwi fruit seeds contain essential fatty acids necessary for making prostaglandins, which regulate body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and blood clotting.

Brain Health

The brain is an important part of the nervous system. It is about 60% fat, and ALA is an important part of this fat.

Immune System Health

The essential fatty acids in kiwi fruit seeds are necessary for making prostaglandins, which play a role in immune function by regulating inflammation and encouraging the body to fight infection.

Growth

ALA is needed for proper growth in children, particularly for neural development and maturation of sensory systems.
