HEALTH HINTS
So many promises from so many contributors…In New Zealand
there are around 450 companies supplying natural health products
on the New Zealand market. 168 of these companies supply
products made in New Zealand from bioactive ingredients that are
made or harvested in New Zealand. The five most common classes
of ingredients are plant oils and seeds, other plant extracts, herbals
and botanicals, marine animal extracts, and Manuka honey.
