Comvita is expanding the reach of its manuka honey products.
The brand has unveiled its line of UMF Certified manuka honey-based collection for children — Comvita Kids.
Consisting of syrups and pops that combine the certified manuka with other safe, natural and premium ingredients, the line does not contain artificial colors, preservatives or flavors, the company said.
"The science is clear, manuka honey has remarkable healing properties," Comvita's head of research, Jackie Evans, said. "Coughs and sore throats take a huge toll on kids and their families, causing sleepless nights and days off school and work. The Comvita Kids range pairs the world's most rare and powerful honey with other natural ingredients to deliver a truly natural and safe remedy that parents can trust and kids will love."
Featured products in the collection include:
- Manuka Honey Day-Time Soothing Syrup, made with ivy leaf extract to help clear mucus and soothe irritated throats and coughs, contains zinc and vitamins C and D for immune support, and comes in an orange flavor;
- Manuka Honey Night-Time Syrup, made with chamomile to also soothe sore and irritated throats, has zinc and vitamins C and D for immune support, and comes in a grape flavor; and
- Manuka Honey Soothing Pops, made with vitamin C for immune support, looks to relieve sore throats, and comes in grape, orange and lemon flavors.
Comvita Kids Soothing Syrups retail for $15.49 per bottle and the Soothing Pops variety pack can be purchased for $9.99 at Amazon. An additional roll out to such retailers as Whole Foods Market and select CVS Pharmacy is planned for September.
