Manuka honey is made in New Zealand by bees that pollinate the Manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium), native only to New Zealand & Southeast Australia. The unique medicinal attributes of Manuka honey are unlike anything else found in nature, unable to be replicated by any other honey or natural products .
Benefits of UMF® Manuka Honey
With effective antibacterial properties, Manuka honey has even been dubbed medicinal honey. UMF® Manuka honey can be used to support treatment of infections, open wounds, sore throats, as well as used in a wide range of preventative circumstances.
The major antibacterial compound found in UMF™ honey is methylglyoxal (MG). While found in low level kinds of honey, Manuka UMF® honey has a much higher concentration of the compound thanks to the unique composition of the manuka flower and the nectar it produces. Basically, the higher MG means that Manuka honey has a potentially greater antibacterial effect.
