Made with Vitamin C, Copper, Manganese and Freeze Dried Manuka Honey. The Manuka honey is sourced from our very own Manuka Doctor hives nestled in the luscious green mountains of New Zealand. The honey is freeze dried into powder form and added to our formula which is lovingly made in the UK to the very highest standard. The MGO (methylglyoxal) level in Manuka Honey is derived from DHA (dihydroxyacetone) which is naturally present in the nectar of the Manuka Bush. Why it works Manuka Plus Joints Effervescents support strong bones and flexible joints, helping you to get the most out of your favourite activities. Find out how the ingredients in Manuka Plus Joints Effervescents can help: Manuka honey (MGO 300) This high-strength honey – made by bees collecting nectar from New Zealand Manuka bushes – contains the active ingredient methylglyoxal (MGO), which has an antimicrobial [1] and also anti-bacterial effect on the body, according to a 2018 study by Ulster University [2]. Our Manuka honey is harvested from Manuka Doctor hives high in the New Zealand mountains, and then freeze-dried into powder. Vitamin C Manuka Plus Joints Effervescents contain half of your daily requirement of vitamin C, found in many fruit and vegetables, including peppers, citrus fruits, broccoli and berries [3]. This nutrient has a critical role when it comes to our joints and bones. According to the European Food Safety Authority, vitamin C is needed to activate the work of enzymes making collagen – a protein in our bodies which binds cells together to provide structure and strength, and is found in skin, blood vessels, bones, gums, tendons and cartilage [4]. Manganese Each Effervescent also contains 100% of your RDA of manganese – an important trace mineral needed for the normal development of your bones and other connective tissue in your body, like cartilage, blood and tendons. As with vitamin C, manganese is key to activating certain enzymes involved in bone and connective tissue formation, growth and repair [5]. Manganese is found in shellfish, nuts, seeds, wholegrains, pulses, spinach and tea [6]. Copper Trace minerals such as copper are essential for health. They help promote strong bones and are involved in the interaction of more than 300 enzyme reactions and the formation of healthy bones and teeth [7]. Each Effervescent contains 100% of your RDA of copper. Sources 1. Alvarez-Suarez JM, et al. The Composition and Biological Activity of Honey: A Focus on Manuka Honey.
