Depression

Inositol is found in kiwifruit. Recent studies have shown that inositol, because of its function as a precursor of an intracellular second messenger system, can be beneficial in the treatment of depression. The fruit is an excellent source of antioxidant vitaminC; providing about 154% of the DRI (dailyrecommended intake). Consumption of foods rich in vitaminC helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful free radicals.
