The research team, led by Professor Tamlin Conner of the Department of Psychology and Dr. Ben Fletcher, embarked on an 8-week dietary intervention involving 155 adults with low vitamin C levels.

These participants were divided into three groups, receiving either a vitamin C supplement, a placebo, or two kiwifruits daily.

Remarkably, the study found that consumption of kiwifruit led to an improvement in mood and vitality within just four days, with the peak effects observed around the 14-16 day mark.

In contrast, vitamin C supplements showed a more gradual improvement, notable only up to day 12. This rapid enhancement in mood and well-being underscores the potential of whole foods, like kiwifruit, in offering synergistic health benefits beyond isolated supplements.
