Cash for your car

Manuka Honey is a potent tool in the pursuit of better health and beauty.
Certified UMF™ Manuka Honey is one of nature’s most versatile and scarce natural resources. Now, for the first time in its 45-year history, Manuka Honey is available in the US.

Comvita is the world’s #1 Manuka Honey brand, the global leader in Manuka Honey and a pioneering name in the natural health and wellness category.

The co-founder of Comvita, Alan Bougen is a globe-trotting non-conformist and beekeeper who has devoted most of his adult life to absorbing the natural techniques and skills needed to heal people and the planet. Eventually settling in New Zealand, discovered the wonders of the Manuka bush. When pollinated by bees, the native plant produces honey that offers a wide range of benefits. In 1974, he and Claude Stratford began beekeeping with a passion for connecting people to nature and good health.

Bougen’s counter-cultural affinity for fresh approaches to age-old struggles found synergy with ancient medicinal practices. The result was a product that promotes better health without negatively impacting the planet.

All Comvita Manuka Honey products are sustainably sourced from the pristine forests in New Zealand, and fully traceable from source-to-shelf. Comvita is a licensee of UMFHA (Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association) and strictly adheres to the UMF™ rating system that measures the three unique properties found in Manuka Honey and assures its purity and overall quality: Leptosperin, DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) and MGO (Methylglyoxal).

The high levels of methylglyoxal available in Manuka Honey may account for its effectiveness as an anti-bacterial. When combined with the other well-known benefits of honey, the healing potential of the nectar is enhanced.

Manuka Honey is a multi-purpose product that is both potent and planet-friendly. It is a vital component of any serious wellness regime.

It also contains the natural by-product from the fermentation process, the ‘Mother’, which is full of beneficial live enzymes.

The new product is available in a recyclable, BPA-free 25.3 fl oz (750ml) bottle with 50 servings and an SRP of $13.99.
