Product Information

A recent Canadian study has showed that consuming around two tablespoons of raw, unprocessed honey per day may support the control blood sugar and levels of LDL – the ‘bad’ cholesterol. Manuka honey is best consumed as part of a healthy balanced diet and active lifestyle and - just you would incorporate a supplement capsule into your diet for targeted support – you can add a spoonful of Comvita Manuka Honey to support your daily wellness.

You too can benefit from this ancient wisdom by using Comvita Manuka honey to support a healthy gut by taking a teaspoon every day. Enjoy it on its own, or try pairing it with natural wellness teas that are known for supporting gut health, such as licorice root, dandelion, peppermint or ginger. Honey primarily consists of natural sugars derived from the nectar of flowers, such as glucose, fructose, sucrose and maltose - with different types of honey having different types and proportions of these sugars.Most types of honey also release bacteria-killing hydrogen peroxide when they’re diluted. This hydrogen peroxide is generated by an enzyme known as glucose oxidase. Bees add glucose oxidase to nectar when they’re making honey.

And remember, honey isn’t a ‘magic pill’– it should be incorporated into a nutritious eating pattern complete with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. That means you shouldn’t start consuming more honey if you currently avoid sugar or are counting calories. Rather, it’s about replacement — if you use table sugar, syrup, or another sweetener, try switching those sugars out for honey. Manuka is different to other honey types due to its unique non-peroxide antimicrobial activity. This type of antimicrobial activity means manuka honey is highly stable compared to types of honey with peroxide-based antimicrobial activity. This makes manuka ideal for antimicrobial uses, such as wound care. Note that the context of the findings was critical: in the clinical trials, participants were already following healthy dietary patterns, with added sugars accounting for 10 percent or less of daily calorie intake.For most people, manuka honey is safe to consume. It can complement a healthy balanced diet and offers some fascinating health benefits when consumed in moderation. A spoonful a day is recommended. Manuka honey is a type of honey native to New Zealand, harvested by bees from the nectar of the indigenous manuka shrub, Leptospermum scoparium. The manuka shrub grows wild in New Zealand’s most remote areas and flowers for just 2-6 weeks each year. As a final beauty boost, it’s good to know Comvita Manuka Honey can also act as a natural moisturizer for a smoother, more dewy finish.
