Kids Day-Time Honey Soothing Syrup (short-dated)

Sometimes, nature works a little harder for you.  Genuine UMF™ Mānuka honey  has three potent and unique compounds –  Methylglyoxal (MGO),  Leptospermum and Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). 

Some of our honey has more of that goodness than others. 

The  UMF™  rating  makes it easy for you to see which of our honey contains higher concentrations  of these powerful bioactives.  The greater the UMF™  Mānuka  honey  grade,  the higher the concentration.  

Honeybees are clever.  They make bee propolis by collecting resin from trees and combine it with beeswax and enzymes to seal and protect the hive. Bee Propolis originates from a plant’s immune system and contains over 300 natural, bioactive compounds, flavonoids and phenolics (potent antioxidants) that work at the cellular level to fight free radicals and support the body’s immune system, naturally.

What makes us different from others, is our measure of flavonoids (it is the flavonoids that matter when buying bee propolis as these bioactive compounds are what support the immune system – not the amount of propolis or fresh equivalent of propolis consumed).​

Comvita Olive Leaf Extract is only made from our Fresh-Picked™ leaves on our Australian farms.  We only use fresh leaves in our extracts, rather than dried leaves or reconstituted powders to preserve the quality of the Oleuropein.  Scientific testing shows that liquid Olive Leaf Extracts made directly from fresh leaves have a broader spectrum potency.

By using fresh leaves – harvested at sunrise, and concentrated before lunch – we avoid drying, damage and decay.  It also means that we are not artificially boosting the compounds in isolation, we retain the balanced combination of antioxidants as found naturally in the original fresh leaf.
