Pure Origins Manuka Honey

What is Manuka Honey?

Manuka honey (Leptospermum) is produced by bees that tended to flowers of the Manuka plant (also known as tea tree) that grows in New Zealand and parts of Australia. Compared to other types of honey, Manuka honey has been shown to be more potent and health-boosting because of its higher methylglyoxal (MG) concentration. This particular compound helps contribute to Manuka honey’s benefits.

So what makes Manuka Honey special?

What sets Manuka honey apart from other honey varieties are its potent compounds that can help deal with infections and boost the body’s overall health. As mentioned above, Manuka honey has high methylglyoxal (MG) levels. This compound is also found in other types of honey, albeit in small amounts. In Manuka honey, MG develops after the conversion of dihydroxyacetone, a compound present in higher amounts in the nectar of Manuka flowers. A higher MG concentration can eventually lead to increased antibiotic capabilities.

(MGO) Methylglyoxal naturally forms in the nectar of the flowers of the Manuka Bush (Leptospermum), ready for collection by the honey-bee. Methylglyoxal is transferred into the honey where it remains stable. Dietary Methylglyoxal found in Manuka Honey is resistant to heat, light, body fluids and enzymatic activity. Making Manuka honey superior to any other honey because of the strong antibacterial and antiviral activity due to the presence of Methylglyoxal.

The higher the MGO rating the greater the antibacterial properties.

Why Choose Pure Origins Honey

”In Nature We Trust”

Pure Origins

Pure Origins range of honey comes from some fo the most pure regions of Australia. The forests where the honey is produced contains some of the rarest flora and fauna in the world. Much of the areas where the honey is sourced has been proclaimed as the World Heritage Listed areas.

Unlike most others, Pure Origins honey is not heated above 25 degrees (77F) when extracted or packed - it is cold extracted. That means, it is packed at temperatures lower than the beehives itself. Although using this process takes longer to pour, it retains all of its crucial enzymes, anti-bacterial properties and nutritional value. Most commercial suppliers heat their honey to ensure they get an optimum level of fast pouring to save on packaging costs.

The Difference Australian Manuka and New Zealand Manuka

A study has found that Australian manuka honey is at least as medically powerful as New Zealand manuka honey. Research as the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia, showed that more than 16% of Australian manuka honey tested were actually more potent than the New Zealand product. The study also shows that Australian honey produced by bees using the nectar from leptospermum, or manuka-type bushes can produce concentrations of methylglyoxal higher than two control samples of “hispital-grade” New Zealand manuka honey. It also shows a direct correlation between antibacterial activity and methylglyoxal levels and that these honeys can be stored for up to seven years without losing their efficacy.
