1. Manuka Honey can support your overall wellness
Rich in amino acids, Vitamins B and C, antioxidants, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, Manuka Honey’s supporting properties result from its known complex bioactive compounds. In fact, Manuka honey has more than 2000 different natural compounds, which is significantly higher than the number of compounds found in other types of honey.

Honey should be consumed as part of a healthy balanced diet and active lifestyle, and - just you would incorporate a supplement capsule into your diet for targeted support – you can add a spoonful of Comvita Manuka Honey to your daily wellness ritual.

Stir it into your tea or coffee, blend it into a smoothie or juice, drizzle it onto your breakfast or spread it liberally on your toast. Either way, it’s delicious – and full of goodness!


Give your immune system a spoonful of goodness with a daily dose of Manuka Honey.

2. Manuka Honey can aid digestive and gut health.
We’re all becoming more aware of the importance of gut health and honey has a long history in traditional Chinese therapy to support gut comfort.1

You can use Comvita Manuka Honey to support a healthy gut by taking a tablespoon every day. Enjoy it on its own, or try pairing it with natural wellness teas that are known for supporting gut health, such as licorice root, dandelion, peppermint or ginger.


The unique properties of Manuka Honey include helping to support a healthy gut.

3. Manuka Honey can help to soothe dry and scratchy throats
Multiple clinical trials, supported by laboratory studies, have shown that honey can alleviate the symptoms and discomfort associated with dry and tickly throats.

In one randomized clinical trial involving 300 children aged 1-5 years old, treatment with honey reduced the frequency and severity of night-time cough, improving sleep for both the child and parents.5

So, whenever you feel a ‘scratchy’ throat coming on or your cough just won’t quit, get fast relief with a smooth spoonful of Comvita Manuka Honey. For best results, enjoy it straight from the spoon, or in a warming mug of hot lemon water or tea.

4. Manuka Honey can support glowing skin.
“Scientific research has confirmed the benefits of Manuka Honey for treating inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis,” says Dr. Jackie Evans, Ph.D. A popular ingredient in many skin care products, Manuka Honey may help to support clearer, hydrated, more ‘glowing’ skin.

If you have sensitive, acne-prone skin, eczema-prone skin, or just dry, parched skin, use higher UMF™ levels like Comvita UMF 10+ or UMF 15+ UMF 10+ Manuka Honey as a soothing, single-ingredient facemask, or you can add it to your favorite DIY clean-beauty masks. For raw, chapped lips, apply Manuka Honey as a restorative lip mask. And because it’s all natural, if you accidentally ingest some, your insides will love it too!


Comvita Manuka Honey can act as a natural moisturizer for a smoother, more dewy finish.
