Pretorius is a small, focused range of throat and cough lozenges and a few targeted supplements. The collection we stock centres on its herbal lozenges for the throat and chest, alongside a micellised vitamin E and a sleep formula — practical products for the medicine cabinet.

The lozenge range

Pretorius is best known for its lozenges. The Cough Clear lozenges feature ivy leaf, a traditional herb for chesty coughs whose saponins are used to help loosen and clear mucus, paired with menthol for a soothing, cooling effect. The Throat Clear lozenges, in menthol and honey-lemon, soothe a dry or irritated throat. Lozenges are a simple, effective format because they keep the active ingredients in contact with the throat as they slowly dissolve.

The supplements

Beyond the lozenges, the range includes Micel E, a micellised vitamin E — vitamin E processed into tiny micelle droplets to improve absorption of this fat-soluble antioxidant — and a melatonin sleep formula. It is a compact range built around a few well-defined needs.

Who the range may suit

Pretorius suits people wanting a reliable herbal throat or cough lozenge to keep on hand through the cooler months, plus a well-absorbed vitamin E or a sleep option from the same brand.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy Pretorius lozenges online in Australia?
You can order the Pretorius range — the Cough Clear and Throat Clear lozenges and the supplements — here from Health Freek, a naturopath-owned Australian stockist.

What is ivy leaf used for in the cough lozenges?
Ivy leaf is a herb traditionally used for chesty coughs; its natural saponins are used to help loosen and clear mucus from the chest. Combined with menthol in the lozenge, it offers a soothing, traditional approach to a productive cough.

What does "micellised" vitamin E mean?
Vitamin E is fat-soluble and not always well absorbed. Micellising it — breaking it into tiny micelle droplets — helps the body take it up more readily, which is the idea behind Micel E.
