Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey, unique to the remote green unpolluted forests of NZ, has been one of natures best kept secrets.  Abeeco UMF™ (10+) Manuka Honey is produced under strict quality regimes and each batch is tested for antibacterial activity.

Unique to New Zealand MGO™ Manuka honey is the only 100% natural food in the world shown to have EFFECTIVE and RELIABLE anti-bacterial activity due to the active compound – Dietary Methylglyoxal which forms naturally in the nectar of manuka plant.
Unique MGO™ Manuka Honey is collected from a New Zealand plant called Leptospermum scoparium. For quite some time the unique manuka honey anti-bacterial activity was known and measured by a general measurement of its biological effect. What was causing the antibacterial activity remained unknown for almost 15 years.

For quite some time the unique manuka honey anti-bacterial activity was known and measured by a general measurement of its biological effect.  What was causing the antibacterial activity remained unknown for almost 15 years. The discovery came from the research group led by Professor Thomas Henle, University of Dresden (Germany). “We unambiguously demonstrate for the first time that Dietary Methylglyoxal is directly responsible for the anti-bacterial activity of manuka honey”. (reported Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, January, 2008) So far MGO™ Manuka honey has been the only food in the world found with such a significant Dietary Methylglyoxal content ranging from 20mg/kg to over 800mg/kg. In contrast all other honeys worldwide tested have ranged between 1 to 10 mg/kg, other foods range from 0 to 50mg/kg with coffee and cocoa being the highest. Abeeco has introduced a new brand to its range of products - MGO™ Manuka Honey - and measures methylglyoxal content based on standards developed by University of Dresden. For example, MGO™100 Manuka Honey is certified to contain at least 100mg/kg of dietary methylglyoxal, the minimum required for health benefits. MGO™Manuka Honey effectively treats the following ailments: Digestive Health   Ulcer Relief  Wounds Skin ulcers Boils, Infections, MRSA Sore Throats Eczema Animal Wounds

What can Active UMF manuka honey help with?
Dr Peter Molan*, who has been testing the antibacterial properties of honey for 18 years states, " Active UMF honey has a unique "drawing factor" that soaks liquid and nutrients, which bacteria feed on, out of a wound it is put into. It also painlessly lifts off dead tissue, scab or burnt skin and keeps the wound moist, which aids healing". *

Dr Molan has tested Active UMF honey, to help with many different health ailments. Some of the ones he found this to be most effective with are:

Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers (1 spoonful on an empty stomach each day), MRSA, the antibiotic resistant bacteria that is the common cause of non-healing wounds, fungal infections, such as those found on the skin and nails - ringworm and athletes foot (minimum concentrations were needed), bacterial diarrhea in infants, burns,wounds and eczema*

As well as this, clinical trials have shown that it is actually superior to the most widely used modern dressing material for the treatment of burns.*

More about Active UMF Manuka Honey

What is Active UMF Manuka Honey?
All honey contains Hydrogen Peroxide, which has a mild antibacterial activity. The Hydrogen peroxide in honey is produced by an enzyme in the honey. This enzyme is destroyed by the exposure of honey to heat and light. As well as this, because most manufacturers heat honey to extract it from the barrel, it can be lost due to this. Active UMF manuka honey contains not just this hydrogen peroxide, but also a 2nd antibacterial agent. This strong agent is stable throughout the entire manufacturing process.

What is UMF and what does it mean?
UMF stands for Unique Manuka Factor. Active UMF Manuka honey is the only honey that has been tested for its antibacterial activity and selected for sale on its level of activity. All honey has some antibacterial factor, but manuka honey contains an additional antibacterial component that is unique to honey produced from Leptospermum or Manuka trees. It is said that these 2 antibacterial components together may have a synergistic action, i.e., their combined effect is greater than the sum of its parts. Bee relieved capsules contain Glucosamine hydrochloride and bee venom. Our glucosamine capsules contain Glucosamine sulfate only.

To be endorsed by the Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato as having special uses, Active honey must have a UMF level of no less than 10. Our UMF honey is guaranteed to contain higher than 10% UMF activity.
