Discover Manuka Honey
Whilst Manuka Honey is undeniably delicious, that is not why it is so famous. Manuka Honey has incredible anti-bacterial properties well established to help in wound healing, as well as digestion, and overall immunity.
Our honey is produced in Australia by Australian native bees, the honey is produced from the pollen of the Manuka flower.
History of Manuka Honey
Manuka Honey was always considered as just another type of honey, until Dr Peter Molan of the Waikato University in New Zealand discovered that it had a very unique anti-bacterial property. This is because normal honey has a natural mild hydrogen peroxide antiseptic that loses its efficacy in sunlight and heat.
Manuka Honey on the other hand, contains another property (non-peroxide activity) that is more potent and stable than hydrogen peroxide. Professor Thomas Henle at the Technical University of Dresden in Germany discovered that this unique property was due to a particular compound in the honey called methylglyoxal (MGO) that is now considered to be a chemical marker of Manuka Honey.
What does MGO mean?
Manuka Honey MGO rating (that measures its bioactive strength) is measured in ppm (parts per million). The most potent sources of Manuka Honey have an MGO of 100+.
We test every batch of Hab Shifa Manuka Honey to ensure that it achieves scores of at least MGO 100 – giving our customers a product that is high in bioactives.
