Biohoney's Manuka Honey MG100+ has been tested by an independent laboratory to establish its health-supporting antibacterial activity.

 

New Zealand's manuka honey is highly valued for its unique antibacterial activity. Enjoy a spoonful or more by mouth, or as a spread, to support digestive health and general wellbeing. This honey has a deep aromatic flavour.

 

Professor Peter Molan, a biochemist at Waikato University, has been researching the healing properties of honey since 1981. Professor Molan identified that honey produced from the New Zealand manuka bush (manuka honey) has an activity level that is not found in other honeys.

 

It's generally accepted that manuka honey with a MG level of 100+ or higher may have health benefits.

 

Methylglyoxal or MG is the active ingredient primarily responsible for the antibacterial action of manuka honey. The discovery that methylglyoxal is manuka honey's "active ingredient" was made in 2008 by Professor Thomas Henle, head of the Institute of Food Chemistry at the Technical University of Dresden (Germany).
