Bee products have numerous health benefits associated with them, from pollen and sticky propolis all the way to world-famous (and NZ-made!) Manuka honey. This raft of goodies isn't just restricted to the bees themselves, however, because humans can take advantage of them too.
And that's where Comvita's honey products comes in.

About Comvita

Comvita is a natural health supplement company specialising in producing bee products. The company was originally founded by enthusiasts Claude Stratford and Alan Bougen, who wanted to bring healthy living to everyone they could through the magic of their yellow and black friends.
The ingredients used in Comvita products are researched and sourced from nature, then harvested with care to preserve their natural healing remedies. Thanks to its respectful ethos, Comvita doesn't run its sources into the ground, either.
"We began with a few guiding principles, and we still hold to them today: Preserve the purity of source, share knowledge, replant and replenish," says their website.

How are Comvita products beneficial?

Bee products can be helpful in a variety of different ways, but most of them share a singular healing property among them: they are antibacterial.
The New Zealand honey bee, as well as its foreign counterparts, has the ability to create a variety of substances for its hive. For example, propolis is often used as a construction glue for the hive walls themselves, as the substance is both sticky and strong. Thanks to its malleability, bees also frequently use the product to wrap up the corpses of invaders so bacteria doesn't spread before they can remove the carcass.
Much like most honeys of the world, the Manuka variant has numerous antibacterial properties thanks to a chemical called hydrogen peroxide. You may have heard of this chemical because hospitals sometimes use it to clean wounds, as bacteria and fungus find it hard to fight. Honey helps produce this chemical within our bodies, effectively cleansing us from the inside.
Manuka honey takes it one step further, however, and also contains another potent chemical called methylglyoxal (MGO). This potent substance has been known to be heat and moisture resistant, unlike hydrogen peroxide, making it a more powerful antibacterial agent.
