    For a Healthier life ... naturally

    Blackcurrant 12+ Active Manuka Honeysuckers (8 lozenge 22g pack)

    Made from raw Manuka Honey (90%) with proven anti-bacterial properties, blended with concentrated Blackcurrant Juice. Blackurrant bliss for those who like sweetness of honey offset with a tart fruit flavour. We don't add sugar or stabilisers so you can enjoy the flavours as nature intended.

    Benefits of Blackcurrant Manuka Honeysuckers

    graphic_blackcurrantscloseup_2.jpgTake Manuka Honey in a lozenge format to have health-supporting honey on the go. Sucking the lozenge prolongs contact time between the proven anti-bacterial powers of manuka honey and your throat and mouth. Honeysuckers are popular with singers, vocal coaches, teachers and others who need to keep their voice in tip top condition. Academic research continues to show manuka honey is highly effective against super-bug MRSA so they make a thoughtful gift for a friend in hospital.

    • 8 Lozenges containing Manuka Honey (90%). (It pays to check the ingredients panel as some honey lozenges may contain less than 5% honey).
    • The lozenge format enables a slow release of honey so that the clinically proven powerful anti-bacterial properties of raw Manuka Honey have the recommended minimum 5 minutes of contact time with the mouth and throat.
    • Manuka Honey is also a source of iron, zinc, B vitamins and antioxidants and makes an excellent daily support to help maintain a robust immune system and general well-being as well as reduce stress.
    • Blackcurrants are one of nature's richest sources of anti-oxidants, including vitamin C, flavonoids and anthocyanins. In New Zealand the combination of the pristine environment and long sunny days creates dark purple berries with high anthocyanin levels.
    • The flavour appeals to kids as does the fact that there is NO added sugar, additives or stabilisers (Parents tell us they love the fact that Honeysuckers are an additive-free healthy treat that tastes delicious!).

    Made with Raw Manuka Honey 

    All our Manuka Honeysuckers are made from our world famous raw Manuka honey which is sourced from hives tucked away in remote and wild parts of New Zealand. If you have seen the film ‘Vanishing of the Bees’ you will be reassured to know that the we use honey from hives that are not located near farms using systemic pesticide sprays. The bees are not fed sugar and the hive is not robbed of all its honey which means the colony would starve to death in the winter. 

    We test each barrel of honey on a range of quality measures (see more below) and a 10g sample routinely contains an incredible 500,000+ grains of pollen in a 10g sample (yum!). Bee pollen contains B vitamins for energy, vitamin C for immune support and antibody formation, as well as a wide range of minerals. 

    Raw Quality Promise

    Green Bay raw organic Manuka Honey is carefully selected to meet our six-point quality promise:qualitysticker.jpg

    1. 100% New Zealand Honey.
    2. Not pasteurised (uggh!) or over-heated during packing so that health-supporting enzymes and other nutrients aren't lost. (More people need to know that Honey is a natural product that, when stored correctly, will last for ages without being fine-filtered by big food companies.)
    3. Minimally filtered - to retain propolis and pollen which naturally occurs in raw honey.
    4. High activity honey - the activity, a measure of anti-bacterial strength, of each drum is verified by ISO 9001approved test method and laboratory. Clinical trials show that manuka honey below 8+ has negligible therapeutic value so stick to honey with values above 10+.
    5. Taste tested - a sample from each batch is taste-tested by a Green Bay family member so you can enjoy the distinctive flavour profile of each apiary.

    As close to the goodness of the hive as you can get without being stung! 

     

    More about Manuka Honey

    Manuka honey comes exclusively from New Zealand, where the manuka bush (Leptospermum Scoparium), a relative of the tea tree, is a protected native species. Native bush and marginal land, covered in manuka and unsuitable for most agriculture, is now producing manuka honey of exceptional quality. 

    New Zealand’s indigenous people, the Maori, has long revered the manuka plant as a rongoa (herbal medicine) and early European settlers followed their example using manuka for a range of therapeutic treatments. Today, clinical trials have proven Manuka Honey’s anti-bacterial properties which fight infection, particularly in the mouth and throat, as well as supporting good digestion.

    • Fighting Infection: Active manuka honey has two antibacterial properties, hydrogen peroxide and a manuka factor which may work together to provide outstanding healing. Used to quell over 60 bacteria and fungi, its antibacterial action is highly stable and has shown considerable success in clearing wounds and resolving infection. In the UK active manuka honey has been used in NHS hospitals to combat serious wound infections.
    • Digestion: Assisting digestion by coating and soothing the gastro-intestinal tract, active manuka honey shields the gut from damaging conditions such as acid reflux. The activity rating of 12+ indicates that its antibacterial strength is equivalent to a 12 per cent solution of phenol. Active manuka honey has proved effective against the helicobacter pylori bacteria which cause gastric ulcers.
    • Throat, mouth and voice care: Effective against throat-infecting bacteria, manuka honey is also anti-inflammatory, so soothes a sore throat while combating infection. Children with night-time coughs who were given manuka honey in a 2007 study reported good symptom relief and good sleep. Emerging evidence suggests that manuka honey’s unique healing properties even fight bacteria that cause gum inflammation.

    Storage

    • We don't use any additives or artificial stabilizers in our products because we don't like them and they are not necessary as Honey is a brilliant natural preservative. As a result, this product has a naturally long shelf life of at least eighteen months when it is produced in New Zealand and typically a minimum of 6 months when shipped to you.
    • Store flat in a cool, dry place under 25°C or refrigerate. If Honeysuckers overheat, freeze to -5°C to harden.

    Instructions for Use

    • Suck (don't chew) two Honeysuckers™ sequentially. Let each dissolve slowly.
    • Suggested Serving: Take 2 lozenges every 3-4 hours as required.
    • Attention: Not suitable for children under 1 year old.

    Country of Origin: New Zealand.

    Package Type: Box. Recyclable Cardboard

    1. Soothing Suckers!

      Posted by Ashyana Rosetti on 15th Feb 2010

      I absolutely love the manuka honeysuckers- very effective in soothing the throat when it feels tired, or strained. I can't go without them!!!


    2. Indigestion Relief

      Posted by Anne S on 15th Feb 2010

      I’m pregnant with my fourth baby and have been taking Honeysuckers to alleviate her mild daytime indigestion. One or two Honeysuckers a day for the past three to four weeks have been helpful: It’s been a very nice aid to digestion after a meal. I am also really interested in food-based remedies rather than chemical-based supplements and I found the Honeysuckers appealed particularly for giving to children when they have coughs.


    3. A Joy to Eat!

      Posted by Katrina on 15th Feb 2010

      I generally don't like to suck on lozenges as they leave a bitter after taste. However, it was a joy to suck on these as it prolonged its longevity and allowed me to fully savour and appreciate the taste. This lozenge had great 'suck-ability' and the flavour lasted until it had dissolved and remained consistent throughout its use. On the subject of flavour, the unison of honey of blackcurrant was a delight and complimented each other perfectly.

      I think Honeysuckers are great. I've taken them a few times when I've felt a sore throat coming on and it hasn't eventuated!


    4. Bliss!

      Posted by Sarah on 15th Feb 2010

      I love the blackcurrant bliss honeysuckers! Nice strong taste and soothing on the throat, they are sweet without being sickly like other lozenges.
      I really like that they are made of completely natural ingredients, tasty and good for me.


    5. Honeysuckers easy

      Posted by Barbara Cox, Nutrichef on 15th Feb 2010

      Honeysuckers are probably as effective (as the liquid honey), if not more so, because of the ease of application.


    6. Chat attack

      Posted by S James on 7th Feb 2009

      I had a throat infection and was losing my voice whilst at a trade-show. I took 2 packs of Honeysuckers over 36 hours and my voice recovered. Amazing!
