Manuka Honey | Australian Medicinal Grade (1500 MGO)

MEDICINAL GRADE AUSTRALIAN MANUKA HONEY

1500 MGO Premium Grade Concentration - 250 grams

With its potent antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, Manuka honey offers scientifically proven medical benefits such as wound healing, cough relief, protection against ulcers, improved digestion, and better oral health. 

The primary compound responsible for the unique antibacterial and antimicrobial properties of Manuka honey is Methylglyoxal (MGO). Methylglyoxal is a naturally occurring compound that is found in significantly higher concentrations in Manuka honey compared to other types of honey. It is formed from the conversion of dihydroxyacetone, a compound present in the nectar of the Manuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium). 

The higher the MGO rating, the higher the concentration of Methylglyoxal in the honey, and therefore, the stronger its antibacterial properties. Our bee's have produced an extremely potent 1500MGO batch which is one of the highest ratings recorded. Higher ratings indicate higher potency and therapeutic benefits..

Top 7 Potential Health Benefits of Manuka Honey Backed by Science 

1. AIDS IN WOUND HEALING

Since ancient times, honey has been used to treat wounds, burns, sores, and boils. Honey offers antibacterial and antioxidant properties while maintaining a moist wound environment and protective barrier, which prevents microbial infections in the wound. Studies have shown that Manuka honey can enhance wound amplify tissue regeneration, and even decrease pain in people with burns. What’s more, Manuka honey may help heal diabetic ulcers. Manuka honey may also effectively treat wound infections caused by antibiotic-resistant strains, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

2. MAY PROMOTE ORAL HEALTH

Studies have shown Manuka honey attacks harmful oral bacteria associated with plaque formation, gum inflammation, and tooth decay. Specifically, research has shown that Manuka honey, with its high antibacterial activity, is effective at inhibiting the growth of harmful oral bacteria like Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans

3. MAY HELP CALM A COUGH

Manuka honey may relieve coughs due to upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs). URTIs are common infectionsTrusted Source caused by bacteria or viruses. They include the common cold, acute bronchitis, influenza, and respiratory distress syndromes. Symptoms of URTIs include cough, sore throat, runny nose, and nasal congestion. Since viruses cause most URTIs, antibiotics are ineffective as a treatment and can have harmful side effects. A number of studies suggest honey may be a safe, effective treatment for cough due to URTIs. Studies suggest honey may be more effective than commonly used medications for relieving URTI symptoms, especially cough frequency and severity.

4. MAY HELP PREVENT GASTRIC ULCERS

Stomach ulcers are one of the most common conditions affecting humans. These sores form on the stomach lining, causing stomach pain, nausea, and bloating. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)is a common type of bacteria that’s responsible for the majority of gastric ulcers. Research suggests Manuka honey may help treat gastric ulcers caused by H. pylori. One study examined whether dietary factors influenced the presence and spread of H. pylori in 294 individuals between 18 and 69 years old. It found that people who consumed honey more than five days a week had a significantly lower risk of H. pylori infection than those who did not consume honey regularly. Moreover, those who consumed honey regularly were significantly less likely to have infections associated with specific strains of H. pylori that increase the incidence of diseases like peptic ulcers and gastric cancer.

5. MAY IMPROVE DIGESTIVE SYMPTOMS

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. IBDs, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s can lead to symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Rodent studies have shown that regularly consuming Manuka honey may help control strains of C.diff, a type of bacteria that causes severe diarrhea and inflammation of the bowel.

6. MAY HELP TREAT SYMPTOMS OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder that damages the lungs and can also affect the digestive system and other organs. It affects the cells that produce mucus, causing mucus to be abnormally thick and sticky. This thick mucus clogs airways and ducts, making it difficult to breathe. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Burkholderia cepacia complex (B. cepacia) are two common bacteria that can cause serious upper respiratory infections, especially in vulnerable populations. One test-tube study found that Manuka honey inhibited the growth of these bacteria when combined with antibiotics. Researchers concluded that Manuka honey might be important in treating upper respiratory infections, especially in those with cystic fibrosis.

7. MAY HELP TREAT ACNE

Many factors, including hormonal changes, poor diet, stress, and bacteria cause acne. The antimicrobial activity of Manuka honey, when used in combination with a low-pH product, is often marketed to fight acne. Yet, there is very limited research on Manuka honey’s ability to treat acne. However, one study investigated the effects of kanuka honey, which has antibacterial properties similar to those of Manuka honey. It found that kanuka honey was as effective as antibacterial soap at improving acne. Further research is needed to declare Manuka honey a useful home remedy for acne.
