SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Comvita announced Tuesday a new line of UMF certified Manuka Honey-based products for kids. Comvita Kids is a line of Soothing Syrups and Pops that combine Certified UMF 10+ Manuka Honey with other well-researched, safe, natural and premium ingredients. Products will be available online via ComvitaKids.com, Amazon, and will roll-out in Whole Foods Markets and select CVS Pharmacies in September.

Multiple clinical research studies, supported by preclinical and laboratory research, have shown that honey can reduce the symptoms and discomfort of cough and sore throat. This research has led to leading Public Health Authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommending honey as a first line self-care treatment for these ailments. The Mayo Clinic and the American Academy of Pediatrics have also made similar recommendations. The natural and unique compounds found only in Manuka Honey possess antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that are dramatically stronger than that other honey types, including regular and dark honey.

“The science is clear, Manuka Honey has remarkable healing properties,” said Comvita’s head of research, Jackie Evans (and mother of two). “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.”

Comvita’s Certified UMF 10+ Manuka Honey, is traceable from hive to shelf and is independently certified by the UMFHA (Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association) for the three key compounds – Leptosperin, DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) and MGO (Methylglyoxal) – that ensure the honey is genuine Manuka.
