Active/UMF Certified Manuka Honeys

What is Active Manuka Honey?
Active Manuka Honey is the name given to honeys that contain a powerful antibacterial property that makes them suitable for a variety of external and internal uses. All honeys have a small amount of antibacterial activity due to the hydrogen peroxide they contain, but it is of limited effectiveness. Only Manuka Honey has the stronger more stable effect which is often referred to as non-peroxide activity.
Manuka Honey is produced by bees from the flowers of the manuka bush (leptospermum scoparium) and this is where the strong antibacterial properties come from. It grows uncultivated throughout New Zealand.
It is also important to note that not all Manuka Honeys are active to the same extent, some have a much stronger antibacterial effect than others. When purchasing Active Manuka Honey you can check the activity level thanks to the UMF rating system, and the lesser used MGO rating system.
