Manuka Honey 10+ by Manuka Health from £8.45

UMF® stands for Unique Manuka Factor, and refers to a very special antibacterial property produced naturally by the nectar of some manuka flowers. UMF® Manuka honey is found in only a few places in New Zealand - UMF® is not in all manuka flower nectar. UMF® (Unique Manuka Factor) is an additional anti-bacterial activity first discovered by Dr Peter Molan (University of Waikato, NZ) in some Manuka honey. Unlike hydrogen peroxide activity present in most kinds of honey UMF® was found stable to the effect of light, heat and body fluids. 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. Manuka Honey 10+
