Does the Nutritional Information Panel (NIP) change between seasons?
The NIP is an average quantity of each item in a dose. As Kiwinuka is made from organic New Zealand kiwifruit and pure New Zealand Manuka honey, there is the possibility that the averages will change during the season. We guarantee, however, that the nutritional benefits of the product do not change across seasons.

The unique blend of organic kiwifruit puree and pure New Zealand Manuka honey is a living infusion that will mature overtime. As a result, Kiwinuka may change in colour from kiwifruit green to a more golden Manuka honey colour, depending on the age of the batch. We guarantee however, that the nutritional benefits of Kiwinuka will remain the same.
Does Kiwinuka separate
When Kiwinuka is left to stand for a period of time, there maybe a slight seperation between the densities of the two major compounds. This is quite normal, so shaking before consumption is recommended.
