All honey contains an antibacterial component called hydrogen peroxide - however, the difference between Pure Raw Honey and Manuka Honey lies in the extraordinary antibacterial boost of Manuka Honey.

Manuka Honey from New Zealand has been shown to possess a special antibacterial factor known as the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF)₁.

This special antibacterial factor works hand in hand with hydrogen peroxide to produce a synergistic effect of high antibacterial activity. Most importantly, unlike hydrogen peroxide which is sensitive to heat, light, water and catalase effect on the body serum, UMF is relatively stable.

It remains in the honey and does not lose its antibacterial strength over time. This contributes to medicinal qualities that are not found in other honeys.

Laboratory tests have found that Manuka honey is effective against a wide range of bacteria₂, which include:

• Helicobacter pylori - this bacteria causes most stomach ulcers
• Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli - the most common cause of infected wounds and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
• Streptococcus pyogenes - which causes sore throats

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again - adding refined sugar to foods is bad for your health. But what if you need something sweet to complete your dish?

That’s where Manuka honey can come in too.

Transform a simple salad into a power packed superfood, or just add some to your favourite snack and get that sweetness you crave, without the guilt or negative effects of sugary spreads.

Even a teaspoon of Manuka honey in a glass of water with a dash of apple cider vinegar will give you a curative tonic that has been used across the world for thousands of years...

What in Manuka honey gives it extra antibacterial properties? The answer is Methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound that naturally occurs in most honies - but is found in exceptionally high concentrations in the nectar of the Manuka flower…

Expert handling, storage and precise testing of the honey is needed to be certified for the stringent regulations of MGO.

The amount of MGO in your honey is directly proportional to its potency and NewLife™’s Raw Manuka Honey now is certified with 100+ MGO!

Our Manuka honey’s many antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties make it incredibly valuable to overall health.
