Great product

Great product, love how it balances my gut health. One star off as I ordered 3 cases and they were meant to have a three month plus expiry but the ones that arrived only had two months so a lot of drinking or waste ahead

New Zealand honey and natural sugar from real fruit. No cane sugar, stevia, erythritol, monk fruit, aspartame, or sucralose.
