RESEARCH YOU CAN TRUST, A STORY YOU CAN'T BEAT

The remarkable properties of the Mānuka tree and its nectar have been understood by New Zealand’s indigenous Māori population for almost a millennia. The importance of Mānuka features in the role it has had for centuries as a traditional remedy and its importance is even recognised in Māori creation stories.

Decades of research from scientists around the world have begun to uncover
the signature compounds, mechanisms, and benefits that make genuine New Zealand Mānuka honey truly unique.In addition, researchers are starting to unravel the special characteristics of the Mānuka tree that have made it a critical ingredient to health in New Zealand-Aotearoa for many centuries.

Mānuka honey is produced from the characteristic nectar from the sweet-smelling flower of the Mānuka tree. Rich in amino acids, Vitamins B & C, antioxidants, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and bioactive compounds,
Mānuka honey is a superfood and at the forefront of natural health sciences. No other honey has the volume or complexity of natural components at work
like New Zealand Mānuka honey.

The benefits to health from Mānuka honey extend beyond the activities of
MGO (Methylglyoxal – the unique, active component in Mānuka honey).
Mānuka Performance is undertaking gound-breaking research into areas
where human trials are somewhat limited. The presence of compounds in
Mānuka honey extend beyond MGO, and its known activity. Our R&D team at
Mānuka Performance Labs exist to realise the value of using Mānuka Honey
and to quantify its value to human (and animal) health.
