“Unlike other honeys, the antibacterial activity of Manuka honey is largely attributed to non-peroxide mechanisms.”
“Commercial Manuka honey is commonly classified using the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) grading system, which reflects authenticity and the presence of key marker compounds.”
“UMF grades typically range from 5+ to 20+ or higher, with increasing grades generally associated with higher concentrations of MGO.”
“It turns out, the very nature of manuka honey, in all its complexity, may hold a powerful solution to the emerging global AMR crisis.
“Manuka honey has long been recognized for its unique antimicrobial properties,” added Dr. Jackie Evans, chief science officer at Comvita.
