Whole Fruit Antioxidants:
Studies suggest that antioxidants may help play a role in disease prevention and may help slow the aging process in the body1.

Potassium:
Studies suggest that potassium may help prevent hypertension and stroke2. In addition, studies suggest that potassium may play a role in helping support cell energy by regulating fluid balance, nerve impulses and muscle contraction to increase energy3.

Fiber:
Prunes are a good source of whole fruit fiber, and this may help keep hunger pangs at bay. Studies indicate that a diet containing fiber may help promote a healthier diet as fiber rich foods can replace fats and sweets4. Plus, four prunes have just 100 calories!

Blood Sugar Control:
Studies indicate that soluble fiber may help play an important role in glucose control, helping to normalize blood sugar and insulin levels making diabetes more manageable5.

Regularity:
Prunes are an all-natural, delicious source of fiber. Studies suggest that a fiber rich diet may contribute to maintaining a consistent digestive tract which helps lead to improved digestive health6, 7.
