Benefits:

Promotes Intestinal Health

Pink pitaya powder is rich in fibre, which is thought to aid digestion. The prebiotic fibre in dragon fruit helps the growth of prebiotics (probiotics) in the body, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. These bacteria provide us with essential compounds that the body cannot synthesise. Dietary fibre also improves intestinal motility and treats constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastrointestinal problems.

Antioxidant

The flesh of pink pitaya powder has antioxidant capacity, in which the order of antioxidant capacity of different components is beetroot red pigment > flavonoids > phenols. Beetroot red pigment has a good scavenging ability for DPPH free radicals, -OH, and ABTS free radicals, and a good reducing ability for iron ions. Meanwhile, animal experiments showed that beetroot erythropoietin could significantly improve the reduction of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities induced by a high-fat diet, and increase the total antioxidant capacity. Meanwhile, anthocyanins also have extremely strong antioxidant activity, which can fight against free radicals and effectively anti-aging; they can also improve the prevention of brain cell degeneration and inhibit the occurrence of dementia.

Good for Heart Health

The seeds of dragon fruit are rich in essential unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic acids. These beneficial fats lower the levels of harmful cholesterol in your body. Excess low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol can harden your arteries and lead to heart disease. The presence of phytonutrients such as lycopene also helps improve cardiovascular health. Dietary fibre intake is positively associated with a lower risk of heart disease. All these heart-protective compounds present in dragon fruit help in lowering cholesterol and reducing the risk of coronary or heart disease.

Detoxification

Pink Dragon Fruit is rich in plant albumin, which is rarely found in fruits and vegetables, and its content can reach 13g/kg. This active albumin not only has a strong antioxidant effect, but also automatically combines with heavy metal ions in the body, and through the excretory system out of the body, to play a role in detoxification.

Enhances the Immune System

Pink pitaya contains antioxidants such as vitamin C, betalains, beetroot flavins, and polyphenolic compounds. Vitamin C is essential for maintaining a strong immune system as it helps kill harmful pathogens and promotes the growth of white blood cells (immune cells). The pigments in dragon fruit - betalains - have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These antioxidants scavenge or bind harmful free radicals released during stress or metabolic reactions.

May Help with Fat-Lowering and Weight Loss

Researchers also found that red dragon fruit has a lipid-lowering and weight-loss effect. Dragon fruit juice can regulate the expression level of genes related to lipid metabolism and cholesterol metabolism in the liver and activate the FGF21 signaling pathway, which acts on specific neurons in the ventral medial hypothalamus and reduces sugar intake by enhancing the neurons' sensitivity to glucose.
