Manuka honey

Manuka honey provides vitamin, minerals and amino acids that the human body needs. It is well known for its ability to provide support for the natural immune defences, be a useful aid to digestion and has special properties to support the environment for the body's own healing process. Manuka honey has one unique natural factor called “Unique Manuka Factor™” (UMF®). This highly stabilized factor cannot be found in other types of honey and has been found only in New Zealand Manuka flowers. The index of UMF® reflects its efficacy. UMF® index usually ranges from 5+ to 20+. Consumers should pay attention if the UMF® value is clearly marked on the label. The UMF® label must be authorized by the UMF Honey Association after rigorous test assessment before it goes onto the UMF® index label.
