17 Life-Changing Reasons You Need A Jar Of Manuka Honey

0

by Sierra Bright Manuka honey, like other raw honey, is truly a gift from the bees. With a rich history and impressive profile, this honey has reason to be celebrated. Along with hydrogen peroxide, manuka honey contains methylglyoxal (MGO) and dihydroxyacetone, two chemical substances with high antimicrobial action, and probably other bioactive compounds that give it additional potency.

Manuka honey is actually graded according to its non-peroxide antibacterial potency, referred to as Unique Manuka Factor (UMF). Although the medical fraternity has been slow to recognize the healing capacity of manuka honey, it has slowly gained acceptance in the treatment of wounds and burns. Eventually, in 2007, FDA approved its use in...

The intricacies of the body and the response to nutrients is transcending. Nowadays, antioxidants are well known everywhere! They are used to increase your energy, completely blowing caffeine out of the water. Antioxidants work to fight off infection and protect your body from health problems.
