Naturally, we’ve got you covered – Comvita’s latest addition to their all-natural Winter Wellness range

Cold winter months and financial stress can put extra pressure on the immune system, leaving you feeling run down. However, the good news is, Comvita has added a new, great tasting, natural elixir to their iconic Winter Wellness range.

The Comvita Manuka Honey and Blackcurrant Elixir combines UMF®10+ Manuka honey, Blackcurrant and Zinc in a natural formulation that is designed to support the immune system.

Blackcurrants contain high levels of anthocyanins which are an excellent source of healthy fruit flavonoids. Manuka honey has been traditionally used to support the body’s immune response, while Zinc has been proven to play an important role in supporting the immune defences.

Most of Comvita's Winter Wellness products include either UMF® Manuka honey and/or Propolis. UMF® Manuka honey has a soothing action and displays antioxidant properties not found in ordinary honeys. Propolis is created by Honeybees who collect natural resin from certain deciduous trees and carry it to the hive where they mix it with enzymes and beeswax to create this 'superfood'. Bees line the hive with a layer of propolis which helps to keep it, not only warm and wind-proof, but also free of bugs. Propolis has also been shown to have antioxidant activity.

Comvita Propolis Herbal Elixir combines UMF® 10+ Manuka honey and propolis. The combined power of Propolis and UMF® 10+ Manuka honey work to support the immune system. Comvita’s Propolis Herbal Elixir is part of Comvita’s original winter wellness product range and continues to be a favourite amongst the natural health trade.

Comvita’s Manuka Honey Syrups and Comvita’s Throat Lozenges are great for 'tackling the tickle' and helping support the throat. The syrups are available with Marshmallow or Mullein and the Lozenges are available in Lemon and Honey, Coolmint, Original (Aniseed) and Menthol (without Propolis).

The Winter Wellness range also includes products for children, all of which are free from artificial colours or sweeteners. The Children’s Comvita’s Lemon & Honey Elixir and the Comvita Children’s Natural Lollipops (also for the young at heart) offer support for the immune system.

All of Comvita’s Winter Wellness products are suitable - and affordable - for the whole family and will keep you going until spring!
