BeesOnline UMF® Manuka Honey – Your Natural choice for Winter Wellbeing

The Manuka Tree, native to New Zealand, produces a popular caramel flavoured Manuka honey with unique and powerful antibacterial properties.

Unique Manuka Factor (UMF®) is a higher grade Manuka honey found only in selective batches from each season's Manuka honey harvest.

UMF® describes the specific anti-bacterial properties present in the honey and is tested by an independent laboratory to a registered standard. The antibacterial properties present in the honey aid the immune system and are a natural and powerful wound healing agent.

Research and clinical trials by Dr. Peter Molan from Waikato University prove the efficacy of UMF® Manuka Honey. UMF® Manuka has been found to be effective against a wide range of bacteria including:
• helicobacter pylori - this bacteria causes most stomach ulcers
• staphylococcus aureus and escherichia coli - the most common cause of infected wounds
• streptococcus pyogenes - a major cause of throat infection

What can UMF® Honey do for you this winter?
BeesOnline UMF® honey can be taken by eating naturally or application to the skin surface. It supports the natural healing of wounds, it can help soothe the digestive tract as well as the throat.

We recommend taking 1-2 teaspoons a day in the lead up to and during winter for optimum health!
