UMF® 10+ Active Manuka Honey 250g from Manuka Health is collected from a plant that is unique to New Zealand - Leptospermum scoparium.
UMF® stands for Unique Manuka Factor, and refers to a very special antibacterial property produced naturally by the nectar of some manuka flowers. All Manuka Health Active UMF®10+ Manuka Honey products have been tested and certified by independent laboratories.

It is indicated as support for digestive care, wound care, winter wellness,oral care and general well being.

UMF® Manuka honey works against a wide range of bacteria. This honey has also shown to provide support for the natural skin healing of many problems.

All types of honey contain hydrogen peroxide which has proven anti-septic and anti-bacterial properties. However these properties can vary widely and can be destroyed by light and heat. Therefore, the anti-bacterial properties of honey in general are not always reliable.

There is one notable exception - Manuka honey. The University of Waikato's Dr Peter Molan discovered that some Manuka honey has consistently reliable anti-bacterial properties.

This superior property is known as UMF® - Unique Manuka Factor - which is found only in some Manuka honey. The Manuka plant producing UMF® is unique to New Zealand.

You will see that Manuka honey containing UMF® also has a number which indicates the strength of the UMF®. A UMF® rating of 10 or higher has reliable health properties and the higher the number, the stronger and more reliable it is.
