Elderberry & Manuka

Quantity

Our Elderberry & Manuka combines high grade (300+MGO) Tasmanian Manuka Honey with Ashbolt’s Tasmanian-grown Elderberries.  We add just a hint of star anise, cinnamon and freshly-ground orange zest to create a natural, old-fashioned immune support. 

ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS:  Fresh (not dried) elderberries & 300+Manuka Honey (both Tasmanian grown), fresh orange zest and just a hint of freshly ground cinnamon and star anise.  Free of additives, artificial flavours, colourings and preservatives.

Black Elderberry(sambucus nigra) is renowned for its health benefits and is perfect as a pick-me-up at anytime of the year or to help you through the cold and flu season. It has been used medicinally for thousands of years.   

Elderberries contain vitamins A and B1, B2 and B6; and high levels of vitamin C along with amino acids, carotenoids, flavonoids - powerful antioxidants that protect cells against damage. The purple pigment of Black Elderberry contains high levels of anthocyanin. Research has shown that anthocyanins in black elderberry can boost the production of cytokines, the proteins that act as messengers within the immune system, enhancing the body’s immune response.

Manuka Honey's active ingredient Methylglyoxal is likely responsible for its antibacterial effects. Additionally, manuka honey has antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. In fact, it has traditionally been used for wound healing, soothing sore throats, preventing tooth decay and improving digestive issues.

Orange zest, cinnamon and star anise - while < 1 % of the total ingredients, these elements add the fresh zesty citrus notes

Cinnamon is also reputed to have anti-inflammatory effects and prebiotic properties that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and help suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, including spices regularly in your diet may help improve gut health.

Star anise contains thymol, terpineol and anethole, which is used for treating cough and flu. Anise also helps improve digestion, alleviate cramps and reduce nausea. Consuming star anise tea after meals is said to help treat digestive ailments such as bloating, gas, indigestion and constipation.

    Amazing product!

    I've been taking Ashbolt's Elderberry & Manuka concentrate for years now. Every time I feel a cold coming on, I'm sure to take a few spoonfulls throughout the day, and my symptoms are usually better within 24 hours.

    Is it a miracle cure? No. But it certainly does help strengthen your immune system to win the fight. Would highly recommend!

    Hi Milton,

    Glad our Elderberry and Manuka is working for you too. I still recall the first day I took it. I had been away from home for a couple of days and had a persistent cough that just wouldn't let up at all. To the point my ribs ached constantly and I hadn't slept for two days. We had just produced this as a new product and remembered I had a sample bottle in the car. I took a teaspoon and the cough stopped instantly - but the urge to cough was still there. Another large teaspoon and the cough and urge to cough was completely gone.

    I couldn't believe it, I thought I had created a miracle cure. It is amazing. And I am so proud of what it can do to help others. Thank you for your recent order and for your long ongoing support.

    Many thanks
    Anne

    George,

    Glad our EB and manuka worked for you too. Thank you for your review. We are proud it has all natural ingredients - safe for the whole family (once they are old enough to consume honey).

    Cheers Anne

    Love It!

    The elderberry and the Manuka taste so good x

    Thanks Angela - yes it is the best thing when you wish to avoid or speed up recovery from a cold or flu or persistent dry cough. I like it neat and on ice cream or yoghurt. And even the other day - my husband accidently poured some beer into my cup of our eb&manuka instead of his glass - and my, it tasted SO delicious.

    Cheers Anne

    A wonderful find!

    Ordered 4 x bottles of this concentrate when I was placing an order for the elderflower lemon and ginger tea which I absolutely love. Have started using as a preventative dose to reinforce my immune system as I’m going into hospital for an operation. Tastes delicious.

    Thanks Gill,

    Glad you love our EB and Manuka too! I am proud of this one - as it something the whole family can take (over 12 months). As there are no preservatives, additives - remember to keep it in the fridge between doses. It only has 300 Manuka, our Elderberries, fresh orange zest (done 5 mins before it goes into the bottle) and cinnamon and star anise (used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years).

    So all plants supposedly known for their bioactive compounds that may help treat fungal, bacterial, and viral infections and building the immune system.

    I am no chemist or doctor - but I do hope it helps you build up before your operation. I love that it might help and of course, we love to think all our products taste delicious. Try more from our range and I feel you might agree!

    Thanks again for your ongoing support.

    Amazing taste, kids love it.

    I was looking for a good quality juice and have founded.

    Thanks Zbigniew,

    Glad our EB and Manuka is a hit with the whole family. Our Elderberry and Manuka only has four ingredients: - the elderberries, high quality manuka honey, a sprinkle of fresh spices and orange zest - grated just minutes before it is all put together. That is why it tastes so good. But, don't forget to keep it in the fridge - as we don't use preservatives.

    If you don't wish to have it on a spoon as a medicine - it also is delicious with icecream or yoghurt!
