  • Whole kiwifruit, especially the green variety, is now recognized as one of the few foods with strong clinical evidence for relieving chronic constipation when eaten daily
  • The most effective intake is two kiwifruits per day, maintained consistently for two to four weeks; this amount supports measurable improvement in stool softness and frequency without the side effects of stimulant laxatives
