Mānuka Honey

What is mānuka honey?

Mānuka honey has long been renowned as the most medicinal honey on the planet. This unique honey is made from the Mānuka plant (Leptospermum scoparium) which is native to New Zealand. The manuka plant contains powerfully healing bioactive compounds that are passed from the plant to the honey by the bees.

What gives mānuka honey its therapeutic qualities?

Mānuka honey contains 200+ bioactive compounds not found in other honeys. The main compound responsible for mānuka honey’s healing powers is methylglyoxal (MGO).

What grade is your mānuka honey?

We source 510+ MGO (15+ UMF) mānuka honey. This high content of MGO is considered medical grade and ideal for achieving maximum therapeutic results.

What is mgo?

MGO stands for methylglyoxal. It is the main bioactive compound responsible for the antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. The higher the concentration of MGO, the more therapeutic the honey will be.

What is umf?

UMF stands for Unique Mānuka Factor and refers to the amount of leptosperin, MGO, DHA and HMF in the honey. It is independently certified to ensure that the honey meets the highest standard of quality, is genuinely harvested only in New Zealand and has not been tampered with or adulterated.

Do you test your mānuka honey?

Our mānuka honey is tested to ensure reparative levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), that it  has not been adulterated with additional sugars, nor that the honey has been temperature abused.

What is hemp?

Cannabis sativa, aka hemp, is a plant that has been used for centuries by different cultures for its fiber, medicinal properties and its nutritional value.

What is cbd?

Cannabidiol, aka CBD, is a phytocannabinoid produced by the hemp plant. It is a signaling molecule that binds to your internal Endocannabinoid System and helps regulate various physiological processes in your body. Specifically, CBD is recognized for its anti-inflammatory, cell signaling, sebum-regulating and anti-acne properties.

What is hemp seed oil?

Hemp seed oil is created from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. Sometimes referred to as hemp hearts, these seeds contain 30-35% oil by weight and are one of the most nutritionally balanced seeds on the planet. We source oil made from seeds that are gently cold-pressed and unrefined to maintain their high content of essential fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants, carotenes and phytosterols.
