Studies in Italy, though, performed on 6-7 year old children, have also demonstrated additional health benefits to the respiratory tract.

Shortness of breath was reduced by 32%, night time cough by 27%, severe wheeze by 41%, chronic cough by 25%, and runny nose by 28%. This results is not only traceable to the content in Vitamin C or Potassium, but in substances which are still largely unknown contained in kiwi fruit.
