Durian King of the Fruits




Scientific References :
Science Advisory Board Statement on Durian Fusion Durian is a fruit which has just begun to receive attention in the West, yet it has a long history with rich traditional uses in Southeast Asia, where it is much valued and sought after.

Initial testing has determined that the durian fruit provides a range of nutrients, and its unique smell has been attributed to organo-sulfur compounds, whose potential health benefits are being studied.Neways continues to investigate the durian to determine its health benefits. Neways' Durian Fusion contains phytonutrients from not only durian, but also mango, papaya, lychee, and longan.

Phytonutrients are an important topic in scientific research; it is clear that they can help promote good health, but their specific nutritional functions are not yet fully understood. Although it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of specific phytonutrients, most of them have not yet been identified. As scientists learn more about the properties of these phytonutrients, the benefits resulting from the consumption of durian fruit will also be clarified.

Neways is the first company to bring a durian-containing liquid nutritional product to market. Neways is committing extensive resources in support of scientific research to elucidate the nutritional properties of the durian fruit and identify its full potential. At the same time, Neways is upholding its values by providing a high quality product designed to support health and well-being formulated with safety and effectiveness in mind.

We believe that the durian fruit holds interesting scientific possibilities and commend Neways in its efforts to understand and bring the potential of this unique tropical fruit to mainstream consumers.Neways Scientific Advisory BoardFor more information on the Scientific Advisory Board please click here.

Two new studies reveal the beneficial, heart-healthy compounds in durian fruit, including new measurements of flavonoids, polyphenols and antioxidant capacities.
