The combination of Apple Cider Vinegar and Manuka Honey is highly prized, notably in Ayurvedic medicine, for its wonderful benefits for digestive health. Among the richest sources of vitamin C, New Zealand-grown blackcurrants are higher in vitamin and mineral content than most other fruits.

Nutrition
Containing iron, zinc and B vitamins, active manuka honey helps the body absorb important minerals such as calcium and magnesium from our food. Apple cider vinegar contains 18 minerals including potassium, which removes excess fluid and toxicity from the body’s cells. Because apple cider vinegar helps to detoxify the liver, emulsify fats and speed up the body’s metabolism, some find it useful in normalising weight. New Zealand-grown blackcurrants deliver nearly double the antioxidant activity of even blueberries.

The healing properties of manuka honey, together with the enzyme rich apple cider vinegar, have been employed for years to help relieve indigestion, diarrhoea, ulcers and even mild food poisoning. Blackcurrants get their blue/purple colour from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants which combat inflammation, degenerative conditions and heart disease.

pH Balance
The natural food acids found in apple cider vinegar actually have an alkalising effect when drunk, acting as a buffer against acidity in the body and protecting vital tissues. And because vinegar is so effective in drawing out calcium from our food, it can help us attain good levels of blood calcium and the correct blood pH, which in turn can improve energy levels, digestion and skin.

Circulation
Apple cider vinegar’s abundant natural acids thin the blood, enabling it to circulate even to the tiniest capillaries. By emulsifying fats, this remarkable food helps keep arteries free from plaque, supporting healthy blood circulation. Potassium, sometimes referred to as the “artery softener”, is present in apple cider vinegar, while apple pectin sweeps away excess cholesterol from the blood to maintain clear and supple blood vessels.

Digestion
This energizing combination helps maintain a healthy metabolism and good blood sugar levels: some find it useful in normalising weight as an increased metabolic rate can lead to less fat being stored. Manuka honey provides a soothing mantle for the gastro-intestinal tract, protecting it from irritants and reducing damage.

Joints
Malic acid in apple cider vinegar is able to dissolve uric acid around the joints, relieving tightness: vinegar’s powerful enzymes also help to invigorate the liver and help to clear toxicity before it leads to wastes being laid down in the joints and causing inflammation. Apple cider vinegar can even be applied as a poultice to inflamed joints, drawing out aggressive acidity and reducing swelling.

Eye Health
Blackcurrant anthocyanins have been clinically proven to support eye health and relieve strain caused by computer use. Studies show that anthocyanins can also help in treating diseases associated with blood-flow in the eyes, such as glaucoma.
