Comvita
Comvita is a brand that came into existence in 1974 with a shared purpose of working in perfect harmony with nature to help people lead better lives. The inspiration for their mission came from bees and their healing powers, especially Mānuka honey. Today, they continue to be passionate about their purpose and are at the forefront of scientific research to explore the healing powers of the hive. Comvita sources the highest quality ingredients from remote parts of New Zealand and uses state-of-the-art science to check their purity and potency.
The brand is rooted in a strong set of beliefs, striving to make the world a better place. They believe in nature's restorative powers and understand the need for science to explore these powers. Comvita was the first New Zealand Mānuka honey brand to use scientific knowhow to explore the hive's healing powers. Their fanatical attention to quality ensures that their products contain only the finest natural ingredients, free from any impurity. They also aim to be trailblazers in their field and are a community of visionary thinkers united in their belief in finding better ways to help bees, people, and nature thrive.
Comvita also demonstrates its commitment to kaitiakitanga, a concept of acting as guardians of nature. It is evident in their efforts to protect the environment and plant millions of trees throughout some of New Zealand's delicate areas. Their pledge to plant a tree for every Comvita honey pot sold further underlines their commitment to this cause. The brand not only wants to protect nature but also believes in giving back to society. Every product sold by Comvita contributes 1% of their profits to charities that focus on animal welfare and conserving nature.
Comvita's commitment to scientific research is evident in their latest venture of developing a $1.3m clinical trial in collaboration with the University of Otago and other research partners. The trial aims to understand better the effects of Mānuka honey on digestive health. With over 2,000 unique natural compounds, Mānuka honey has become a potent and complex natural product beneficial to people worldwide. Comvita believes in unlocking the honey's full potential to help people lead better lives.
