Made in New Zealand, Manuka Honey is some of the most delicious and healthy honey on the planet. It’s produced by the bees that pollinate the Manuka bush and has, historically, been used for a broad range of health benefits. It can help treat everything from a sore throat to digestive illnesses and gingivitis. It’s one of nature’s richest antimicrobial sources.

Inside Manuka Honey

Most honey isn’t what it used to be. Now, honey comes with options of raw or pasteurised, filtered or unfiltered, local or imported. But when it comes to Manuka Honey, what you see is what you get. It’s raw honey that is packed full of vitamins and minerals that offer tremendous nutritional benefits. Manuka Honey contains:

• Amino acids
• B vitamins
• Calcium
• Copper
• Iron
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Zinc

What makes Manuka Honey so unique is that it contains up to four times the vitamins and minerals as other honeys. In fact, researchers at New Zealand University discovered that Manuka Honey contains considerably higher enzymes, so much so that it works as an antibacterial.
