The kiwi (Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa) belongs to the Actinidiaceae plant family. They are cultivated in China and Japan, as well as in southeast Siberia and New Zealand.
Livaux® is a premium fruit powder made from real golden kiwis. The fruit is cultivated according to organic standards in a top kiwi growing region of New Zealand and is processed on-site according to a patented, non-GMO process.
Following harvest, the ripe kiwis are freed from their skins then freeze-dried and ground in a way that allows for the preservation of their nutrients. Due to the use of gentle processing methods without heat, the final product contains a high proportion of the proteolytically active enzyme actinidain with 5,000 AU per gram. It also contains soluble dietary fibre, which serves as a nutritional basis for bacteria such as the butyrate-forming Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. It is also low in fructose. Actinidain is a special proteolytic enzyme of the kiwi.
