Benefits of Blackcurrant Manuka Honeysuckers

Take 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:

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.

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.
