The Benefits of Probiotic Supplementation: Unlocking Gut Health with Golden Kiwi Fruit

Introduction to Probiotic Supplementation

Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, provide health benefits by supporting the gut microbiome. This community of beneficial bacteria is essential for digestion, immunity, and overall well-being. A healthy gut microbiome promotes nutrient absorption, regulates inflammation, and even influences mental health. (Blatchford et al., 2017; Sempach et al., 2024; Heinken et al., 2014).

Unfortunately, factors such as poor diet, stress, or antibiotic use can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria even when consuming the best probiotic supplement, leading to issues like bloating, constipation, weakened immunity, and inflammation. Our probiotics are powerd by Livaux® a natural probiotic derived from New Zealand’s golden kiwi fruit, helps restore balance by specifically supporting the growth of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a beneficial gut bacterium with anti-inflammatory properties (Heinken et al., 2014; Blatchford et al., 2017).

Probiotic Supplementation: How Golden Kiwi Supports Gut Health & Immunity

Your gut microbiome comprises trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and other microbes, that significantly impact your health. These microorganisms aid:

  • Digestion
  • Support immune function
  •  Influence energy levels and mood.

When this balance is disrupted, it can contribute to conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic inflammation, and even mental health issues like anxiety and depression (Sempach et al., 2024; Maftei et al., 2024).

Golden kiwi fruit, the foundation of Livaux®, plays a unique role in gut health by feeding specific beneficial bacteria. Its natural compounds support microbiome diversity, which is key to maintaining overall digestive and immune health (Blatchford et al., 2017).

How Golden Kiwi Supports gut Microbiome Diversity

Golden kiwi fruit (Actinidia chinensis) is a superfood for gut health. It is rich in soluble fibres and bioactive compounds that selectively nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut, particularly Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. This bacterium produces butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid with potent anti-inflammatory properties essential for gut barrier integrity and overall gut health (Blatchford et al., 2017).

The Unique Benefits of Livaux®

  1. Boosts Gut Health with Targeted Action
    Livaux®is a natural prebiotic derived from golden kiwi fruit. Its unique fibres are specifically designed to promote the growth of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a keystone species in the gut microbiome. This bacterium is often found in lower levels in people with gut disorders like IBS. By increasing F. prausnitzii populations, Livaux® helps restore microbial balance, which is critical for overall gut health (Maftei et al., 2024).

  2. Supports Immune Function
    Your gut is a major hub of the immune system. A balanced microbiome regulates inflammation and strengthens the gut barrier, preventing harmful pathogens from entering the bloodstream. Livaux®promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria that enhance immune function and reduce inflammation, offering a natural way to support immunity (Aykut et al., 2024).

  3. Relieves Digestive Discomfort
    Livaux® is especially effective for individuals experiencing constipation or irregular bowel movements. Studies on golden kiwi fruit have shown improvements in stool frequency and consistency due to its high soluble fibre content. This makes it a gentle and natural alternative to harsher laxatives, providing comfort without side effects (Blatchford et al., 2017; Maftei et al., 2024).

Golden Kiwi Fruit as a Nutritional Powerhouse
Golden kiwi fruit is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients that support gut health. These include:

  • Vitamin C: Boosts immune function and supports collagen production.

  • Polyphenols: Antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and support a healthy gut microbiome.

  • Natural Fibres: Feed beneficial gut bacteria like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and promote smooth digestion (Maftei et al., 2024; Aykut et al., 2024).

The cold-processing method used to create this probiotic ensures that these bioactive compounds are preserved, delivering maximum potency and effectiveness in every dose.

The Microbiome’s Link to Mental Health


Emerging research highlights the strong connection between the gut and the brain, known as the gut-brain axis. Gut bacteria can influence mood and mental health by regulating inflammation and producing neurotransmitter-like compounds. By promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, helping regulate inflammation, which may alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. A healthy gut fosters better communication along the gut-brain axis, leading to improved emotional well-being (Sempach et al., 2024).
