Launch of first Stinging Nettle soft drink
Two UK chemists are launching the first ever soft drink to harness health and healing properties of nettles.
Emunity has transformed the humble Nettle into a great tasting, refreshing drink loaded with immune boosting health benefits. It is 100% natural, with no artificial ingredients and only 53 calories per can. Emunity is available in two flavours: Wild Strawberry and Gooseberry.
The Stinging Nettle (Urtica Dioica) has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. Nettles contain a significant amount of biologically active compounds, particularly carotenoids and polyphenols, that are good for you and your body, claims the makers of the drink.
Pharmacists Roy Lamb and Nasir Isaji, have infused the drink with a range of garden botanicals, each with their own health properties.
"We're both passionate about helping people stay healthy, and so developing a drink full of genuine health benefits seemed the obvious thing to do." said Nasir.
"The recipe for Emunity is inspired by my herbalist great-Grandfather who used to create a 'cure-all tea' from nettle. When I looked into it, I could see why nettle was so effective." said Roy.
