Due to a range natural acids found in Wild Harvest baobab fruit is known as an excellent antioxidant. Its antioxidant activity is four times that of a kiwi or apple pulp.

Antioxidants are important for:
Protection against free radicals.
Maintenance of metabolic processes.
Synthesis of steroidal hormones and connective tissue.
Assisting neuro-transmitters.
Preventing degenerative diseases.
Increases the body's ability to absorb calcium and iron. 
         
Valuable aid in the prevention and treatment of gastric and IBS disorders
• Effective in treating osteoporosis, varicose veins and haemorrhoids
• The fruit's minerals and vitamins are beneficial to anaemics, anorexics, smokers and athletes
• Excellent ingredient in diets for diabetics (notably type II diabetes)
• Displays antioxidant capacity by fighting against the formation of free radicals
• Ideal in probiotic formulations, thanks to the high content in soluble fibre
• Great complement in diets for celiac diseases
• Involved in Tempe fermentation


Dietary Fibers and Prebiotic activity
Baobab supplies a quantity of soluble (22.54%) and insoluble (22.04%) fibers which can reach up to about 45 grams per 100 grams of product. Dietary fiber has by now been established as an important component of our diet, as it can affect manifold aspects of the digestive physiology. Frequent consumption of dietary fiber associated with a diet rich in vegetables, cereals and fruit has been related to a reduction of the risk of onset of neo-plasia of the digestive system, in particular colon-rectal cancer. Dietary fibers stimulate intestinal micro flora acting as a probiotic. 


Dietary fibers are important for:
Stabilizing blood glucose levels.
Suppressing cholesterol synthesis by the liver.
Stimulating production of T helper cells, antibodies, leukocytes, cytokines and lymph mechanisms.
Increasing proliferation of colonic bacteria beneficial for intestinal health.
Improving barrier properties of the colonic mucosal layer, inhibiting inflammatory and adhesion irritants. 

Vitamins
Wild Harvest baobab fruit pulp contains high concentrations of Vitamin C and contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3 & B6. 

Vitamins have different functions in the body:
Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) is important for growth and repair of tissues in the body. It is an antioxidant, promotes healthy gums, assists the body absorb iron and helps wounds heal.
Vitamin A  is important for the maintenance of healthy teeth, bones, soft tissue and skin.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) helps the body cells change carbohydrates into energy. It is also essential for heart function and healthy nerve cells.
Vitamin B2  (Riboflavin) works with other B vitamins and is important for body growth and production of red blood cells.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) helps maintain healthy skin and nerves and has cholesterol-lowering effects.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) helps the body use protein, helps form red blood cells and helps maintain brain function. 

Calcium and other minerals
Wild Harvest baobab fruit pulp is rich in Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Iron. Pregnant women in Africa use baobab fruit pulp as a source of calcium during pregnancy and lactation. 

Calcium is one of the most important minerals for growth, and maintenance and reproduction of the body. Calcium helps maintain healthy bones and teeth. It also helps with blood clotting, nerve signalling, muscle contraction and relaxation and release of certain hormones.

Phosphorus is used in the formation of bones and teeth. Phosphorus also plays an important role in the utilization of carbohydrates and fats, synthesis of protein for growth and maintenance and repair of cells and tissues.

Potassium is necessary to maintain the water balance between the cells and body fluids. And plays an important role in cellular enzymes and contraction of muscles
Iron is important for the making of oxygen-carrying proteins, haemoglobin and myoglobin.

Anti-inflammatory, Antiviral properties                                                                                                                                                                                Studies were carried out in the laboratory showed that doses between 400 and 800 mg/kg determine a marked anti-inflammatory effect and are able to reduce inflammation induced in the limb with formalin. This activity may be attributed to the presence of sterols, saponins and triterpenes in the aqueous extract.

Anti-diarrheal properties
The typical diet of indigenous African populations, in particular children, is characterised by a low-calorie, low-protein vegetable and floury diet, lacking milk, and may potentially lead to rickets and cause organic disorders such as diarrhea and/or dysentery. The particularity of Baobab fruit pulp is that it is effective against diarrhea.
