Manuka Honey is no ordinary honey. Considered one of Nature's greatest ingredients. Honey Biotics is made using only New Zealand UMF15+ Manuka which is exclusively famous for its healing properties and ability to treat and protect wounds of all kinds.
Manuka Honey is a product of New Zealand plant Leptospermum Scoparium. When bees pollinate from this plant, their honey is more potent than standard honey bee honey. This is because it has a high concentration of Methylglyoxal (MGO)
- Has strong antibacterial/antiviral properties: Manuka Honey has been used as natural antibiotics throughout the centuries. In recent years, researchers have discovered that Manuka Honey’s power to kill germs comes from hydrogen peroxide produced with the help of a bee enzyme and methylgloxal which comes from the nectar of the Manuka plant.Manuka honey is effective in killing pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Keeping the skin bacteria-free speeds up the healing process.
- Promotes wound healing: Manuka honey recruits the correct type of cells, known as fibroblasts, needed to help wounds heal. Aside from that, it also creates a moist environment and a protective barrier to speed up healing, which is why it's often used to treat wounds, burns, and ulcers.
- Is an effective anti-inflammatory: The anti-inflammatory properties of manuka honey have not been matched in honey derived from other species of bees
- Offers antioxidant protection: Manuka honey regulates skin-damaging reactive oxygen species (caused by exposure to free radicals), making it beneficial for anti-aging purposes.
