How can Callaghan Innovation help you?
New Zealand honey is renowned for its taste and health benefits, and now a Bay of Plenty pharmaceutical company is set to make the golden stuff equally famous for its medicinal properties.
HoneyLab has proved that its kanuka honey formulation Honevo is just as effective as the pharmaceutical alternative in treating cold sores.
Callaghan Innovation played an integral role in helping this business undertake R&D, through our Innovation Manager Kirstin Mead, and the agency’s co-funding of the cold sore study meant HoneyLab could accelerate the work and do other research programmes as well.
