The research links Vitamin C to both cancer prevention and the successful treatment of cancer; slowing the growth of tumour cells and making them more responsive to chemotherapy.

Vitamin C is an essential requirement for living tissues and plays an essential role in the maintenance of good health and the body’s immune response.

ZESPRI® Kiwifruit are an exceptional source of Vitamin C - one kiwifruit can provide the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C. Weight for weight ZESPRI® Kiwifruit provide almost twice the Vitamin C of oranges.

This research and other studies that are underway support the recommendation that ZESPRI® Kiwifruit, consumed daily as part of a healthy diet, help to boost the body’s vitamin levels, protecting the body from multiple adverse cellular events, and help strengthen the body’s natural defences.
