Product Notes:
Manuka honey has been shown to be effective against most forms of bacteria, including H. pylori (the stubborn bacteria behind many stomach ulcers) and Staphylococcus aureus (the most common cause of staph infections), which is why people not only consume it to help heal their stomach lining, but also use it topically to treat a variety of infections, wounds, and skin conditions.
Just as genuine Champagne can only be made from grapes grown in that region of France with the wine processed in a certain way, genuine Manuka Honey is produced from the nectar of Leptospermum scoparium flowers which grow in select areas of New Zealand.
In order to be licensed to display the UMF™ quality trademark with a number identifying the product's strength (which Flora's new line bears), the source and quality of production must be overseen by the Unique Mānuka Factor Honey Association, which entails independent lab testing for three key compounds to ensure that it's real mānuka honey: Methylglyoxal (MGO), Leptosperin, and Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). The higher the UMF™ grading number, the higher the concentration of those three signature compounds.
The concentration of that key MGO ingredient in Flora's manuka honey ranges between MGO 30+ (which is made with at least 30 mg of MGO in every kg) to as high as 515+ (with the intervening entries currently being 100+ and 250+). Those other concentrations, which are all available in either 250g or 500g sizes, can also be ordered upon request; please contact us for details.
