Here in the United Kingdom we are very restricted about what we can say about the many therapeutic properties of UMF rated Active Manuka Honey. We are, however, able to provide links to third party research. This will provide you with a large resource detailing the research that has been conducted into the honey and its uses as well as the results of various clinical trials.
Research has been carried out into the beneficial properties of honey in a number of medical applications for the treatment of both human and animal conditions. The majority of research in the last 15 years has used UMF strength 10 Manuka Honey or higher.
The leading authority on medical research into UMF rated Manuka Honey is the Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato in New Zealand. The director of the unit is Dr Peter Molan, who has devoted the majority of his career into understanding more fully the properties of the honey and its varied applications.
The Honey Research Unit has a very informative website which is essential reading for anyone interested in the applications of this incredibly diverse natural resource. We recommend the the Honey Research Unit website, which can be accessed by clicking on the coat of arms to the right.
Note that we supply both UMF 16 Active Manuka Honey in 500g jars for internal consumption and also high grade UMF 16 Active Manuka Honey in squeezable tubes which has been gamma irradiated for external application. We are pleased to provide these superior UMF level, high quality products at very reasonable prices. We import into the UK in bulk and strictly control costs so that we can bring these products to the market at such competitive prices.
