Manuka Honey Africa

Manuka honey has become quite a com­mod­ity over the last decade and Manuka Honey Africa has been estab­lished as a dis­trib­u­tor­ship to sup­ply this pre­mium, inter­na­tion­ally acclaimed honey to the South African market.

Manuka Honey has many health ben­e­fits when used for med­i­c­i­nal pur­poses, both inter­nally and top­i­cally on the skin. When taken orally, Manuka Honey is a wel­comed alter­na­tive to med­i­cine since it tastes bet­ter, has no neg­a­tive side effects and is more effec­tive in most cir­cum­stances. Many health stores and med­ical pro­fes­sion­als have found their clients inquir­ing more and more into this unique prod­uct and are con­tin­u­ally per­suaded to sup­ply this spe­cial type of honey. Manuka Honey Africa has been devel­oped to accom­mo­date this demand. 

Manuka Honey Africa sup­plies the high­est qual­ity Manuka Honey avail­able from New Zealand, and has recently intro­duced the Wat­son and Son 15+ label Manuka Honey to the South African mar­ket. Wat­son and Son take great pride in sourc­ing and har­vest­ing this spe­cial honey from some of the most remote and unpol­luted regions of New Zealand. Each batch of Wat­son and Son Manuka Honey is tested by a cer­ti­fied lab­o­ra­tory using the method devel­oped by Dr Peter Molan at the Uni­ver­sity of Waikato.

When look­ing at buy­ing your Manuka Honey, it is also impor­tant to take the antibac­te­r­ial potency into con­sid­er­a­tion. The potency of the Manuka Honey is cer­ti­fied and clas­si­fied by the Molan Gold Stan­dard™ rang­ing from a potency of 0 — 30. Low-grade Manuka Honey doesn’t have any more heal­ing prop­er­ties than the ordi­nary honey that you would find in your local shop­ping stores. Manuka Honey with a cer­ti­fied rat­ing of less than 10 may not have enough antibac­te­r­ial prop­er­ties to effec­tively treat more seri­ous con­di­tions. Like­wise, Manuka Honey with an extra­or­di­nar­ily high cer­ti­fied rat­ing is not desir­able either as Manuka Honey with a rat­ing of 20 or higher is very rare, extremely expen­sive and overly potent. The most ideal Manuka Honey is a medium range with a rat­ing of 10–20.
