What is Manuka Honey?

Manuka honey comes from New Zealand. It is made by bees that pollinate the native manuka bush. This unique honey contains beneficial compounds not found in regular honey.

Manuka honey's key active ingredients are methylglyoxal (MGO) and leptosperin. These compounds give manuka its antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.

The higher the levels of MGO and leptosperin, the more potent the honey. Manuka honey is typically graded by its "Unique Manuka Factor" (UMF) rating. This measures the honey's active ingredient levels.
