Hello everyone, here we are with yet another article about amazing Manuka Honey. We will try to answer on few most asked questions we been getting from our readers. So let’s begin.
Where does the Manuka Honey comes from?
We did mention this few times in our previous articles but here we are answering it again. Manuka Honey is made by honey bees that gather nectar form the famous Manuka Bush or in latin Leptospermum Scoparium. This particular bush (tree) can be found in New Zealand which is why you might be noticing “New Zealand” being mentioned very often together with Manuka Honey. It’s also well know that this country has one of the highest standards in the world for producing honey.
This might be because of many reasons but the most important one is that New Zealand as country requires that the bee hives, and the land they are on, as well as everything around them in 2 miles radius must be organic. When i say “everything” i mean whole area around hives, especially land. This is required because of pollen that bees collect, it’s not sprayed with pesticides and it’s completely natural.
Why is Manuka Honey unique?
Well, if reasons above are not enough for you, let me tell you few more. As for every other honey, when bees collect nectar, they take it back to the hives where they add enzymes called glucose oxidase in order to preserve the honey, which then releases a very small amounts of antibacterial agent hydrogen peroxide into the honey. The 
difference with Manuka Honey is that the enzyme that gives hydrogen peroxide gets destroyed as well as antibacterial property of honey. Also, in Manuka Honey there are Melthylglyoxal (MGO) in high quantities. This is exactly what gives Manuka Honey all the healing effects. It’s mentioned that if we have 400mg per kilogram or more MGO in Manuka Honey, it will be able to destroy all viruses and microorganisms. Good thing about MGO is that is stable and it can’t be affected by light or heat or water, which is why it remains so powerful while healing your skin with it, sweat and other skin liquids doesn’t affect it at all. We also mentioned that it helps with fat loss and stomach diseases, here is why! Nothing can affect Manuka Honey healing effects. And yes you guessed it right, if MGO level in Manuka Honey is higher, UMF rating is higher as well. Simply said, the higher UMF rating Manuka Honey has, higher will health effects be. You can read more about UMF rating on our homepage.
