The longan fruit has been known for hundreds of years in the Asian region for its health-promoting effects and is particularly rich in vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants. It grows on a tree belonging to the genus Dimocarpus and is very similar in appearance to the well-known lychee. The fruit is yellowish-brown and about the size of cocktail tomatoes or large grapes. The in Longanova P80 used fruits come exclusively from our own cultivation fields in Thailand. Here 10,000 tons are harvested per year - with the best fruit quality. During production, the natural active ingredients are concentrated 80-fold on the basis of a special extraction process. Thus, the bioactive components retain their stability and effectiveness at the same time.
