Product Description
UMF® stands for "Unique Manuka Factor", and is the trademark for the special antibacterial property found in Manuka Honey. <br/When honey is diluted, a special enzyme the bees have added produces hydrogen peroxide, a well known antibiotic. Manuka Honey has been found to have an antibacterial activity in addition to hydrogen peroxide. No one has so far discovered the substance involved, so it is called UMF® = unique manuka factor. The UMF® number is a standard way of describing the anti-bacterial strength of the honey. The honey is put in a plate with a bacterial culture, and the area is measured where the bacterial growth is stopped. This area is compared to a similar area produced by a solution of phenol and water. The number refers to the percentage of phenol in the water. So UMF® honey is honey that has the same anti-bacterial strength as 10% phenol. Dr Peter Molan from Waikato University has shown during his research that UMF® Manuka honey with a rating of 16+ has more antibacterial properties than other honeys. The research found that UMF®16+ Manuka honey has significant healing properties to when used to treat burns, ulcers and throat and eye infections. It is particularly effective in destroying bacteria associated with peptic ulcers and is an effective wound dressing that assists with the healing process. UMF® Manuka honey can be both taken internally and applied externally

Customer Reviews
This is ordinary Manuka raw honey. Honey is very good for you, especially Manuka, and in this case, you get what you pay for. It's expensive because it's Manuka, and certified. My only complaint is the price.
Not too different in flavor from clover honey. Thick, opaque and textured. If you want Manuka honey, this is the honey you get. It doesn't need to be pasteurized because honey naturally prevents bacteria growth, does not spoil, and Manuka honey is especially naturally antiseptic. Unique Manuka Factor ("UMF") refers to the level of antiseptic strength.
This is Manuka honey. It doesn't come in different artificial flavors with colors and additives. If artificial flavoring and high-fructose corn syrup are more important to you, save your money and suck on a cheap lollipop.
I started using Manuka honey when my Yorkies began experiencing stomach problems. Just a little bit on a small piece of bread a few times per week and alls well. There's several studies on this product and all have been favorable. I was hesitant to gives it to my dogs but they had severe problems once a month and I hated seeing them in pain not eating for days at a time. The Manuka has been a miracle and well worth the price for it's intended use. If you want a sweetner in your tea, buy the cheap stuff. If you want to cure a nasty stomach problem for you or your pets, try Manuka. Get at least a +16.
