New in vitro test results show that East Cape Mānuka Extract produces large amounts of collagen III in skin cells. Collagen III works with collagen I in the skin to help minimise fine lines and wrinkles, provide tensile strength and elasticity, and improve skin hydration levels. It also has an important role in skin repair. Click here to read the study.

Independent research shows that b-triketone-rich East Cape Manuka Extract, Leptospermum scoparium, has strong antiviral efficacy given the presence of many antiviral constituents including: b-triketones (flavesone, leptospermone, iso-leptospermone and grandiflorone), b-caryophyllene, selinene, aromadendrene, calamenene, spathulenol, cadinene, elemene and cubebene.
