Active Honey
Even non-UMF Manuka honey has antibacterial activity.
Not all Manuka honey has UMF (Non peroxide) activity and
we differentiate this by using the names UMF Manuka and Active
Manuka Honey.
UMF - Non-Peroxide Antibacterial activty
HNZ UMF Manuka Honey guarantees a Non Peroxide activity that
is based on the UMF testing regime initiated by Prof. Molan.
This in turn is measured against a standard Phenol (antiseptic/anti
bacterial) solution to gauge the relative strength of the
Non Peroxide activity against Phenol. So, UMF 20+ guarantees
antibacterial Non Peroxide Activity (UMF) level of 20+.
Active Honey - Natural Hydrogen Peroxide
HNZ's Active 20+ honey guarantees honey's total antibacterial
activity level of 20+. This Total Activity is mostly from
the Hydrogen Peroxide activity of honey (as opposed to the
Non Peroxide Activity of UMF Honey).
Most honey retains some Hydrogen Peroxide activity but HNZ's
Active 20+ contains significantly higher level of Total Activity
level than other honeys after processing.
Both Total (Active) and Non Peroxide (UMF) activities are
tested by certified independent lab in New Zealand.
Both have the same health benefits but UMF is more stable
over time and may even grow in strength.
This Unique Manuka Factor has been making waves across the
globe, but until the Methylglyoxal discovery, it was a mystery,
that some accepted on results, while others including many
within the medical fraternity didn’t, simply because
there was no scientific evidence to support the claims.
