Manuka Honey
The Manuka Tree, native to New Zealand, produces a popular caramel flavoured Manuka honey with unique and powerful antibacterial properties.
Manuka honey is the only 100% natural food in the world shown to have EFFECTIVE and RELIABLE anti-bacterial activity due to the active compound – Dietary Methylglyoxal which forms naturally in the Manuka plant.
“Manuka honey should be one of the few food items for which a health-promoting property beyond the basic nutritional function can be clearly documented. Health claims require significant scientific consensus, and I think from a scientific point of view, the data concerning the Methylglyoxal-induced antimicrobial properties of Manuka honey are very promising to fulfil the requirements.” - Professor Thomas Henle.
