Floor displays for Tortuga's latest products, 100 percent Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee and award-winning Chocolate Rum Turtles with Sea Salt, each holding 36 units, will be available for fourth quarter shipments. "Because our rum cakes are so popular at Christmas time, our retailers asked for a holiday version of our shipper displays," says Monique Hamaty-Simmonds, Chief Marketing Officer for Tortuga. "The success of our rum cake shippers encouraged us to the sales of its Manuka Honey, known as the healing honey. This success is based on the fact that Manuka is working for thousands of people around the world as a simple sweet answer for everyday good health. Research continues to pour in for the many uses of Manuka honey as a digestive aid, for wound treatment and immune building. Professor Basel Al Ramadi, the lead researcher and head of the Microbiology and Immunology Department at UAE University, recently discovered that Manuka honey can be used to inhibit the growth of several types of cancer cells. This is the first time that a study has been made to investigate Manuka honey's potency in the treatment of cancer. Researchers have discovered that regular consumption of even very small amounts of Manuka honey can actually stop the growth of some cancer cells. As the first to introduce Manuka Honey to the United States, PRI will continue to spread the word this year and into 2014 in the social media arena and through traditional advertising. Supporting the latest medical research, PRI offers the best new products available for those that believe that nature still holds the answers for our everyday good health.
