User questions & answers

Question:	I froze my product by accident. Is it still "bio-active
Answer:	as long its not heated, your fine.
Question:	Is this equal to umf 20+ manuka honey
Answer:	Hello, yes, we have a chart as one of the images next to the main product image which shows the approx. conversions. Thank you.
Question:	You say it is "manuka" honey which designates a certain nz bush or is "jellybush" the same plant just the "normal" rivalry between nz and aussies
Answer:	Within the Leptosermum Genus, 'Jelly bush' honey comes from the Aussie Leptospermum polygalifolium, which is a different species from Leptospermum scoparium, from which you get ' manuka' honey. Yup, some overlap & similarities, BUT they are still different species & products ..... draw your own conclusions
Question:	I read that real manuka honey is thick, Why is this manuka honey thin like regular honey
Answer:	Hello, New Zealand manuka honey is generally creamed, which involves heating the honey. Creaming is generally used in colder climates due to crystalization, however as this honey comes from a warmer climate, the process is not necessary. Our honey is not heated at any time. Thank you.

Good Natured's 100% Lab Certified Manuka Honey is one of the most established and trusted Manuka Honey for two main reasons:

Certified Lab Reports* - We are one of the few if only companies to post, as an image to the left of the main product image above, current lab reports that show the results of the strength of this honey. Whilst we label the honey at 820+, which is the equivalent of NPA 20+, the report actually shows activity that is higher than this, which means that the potency is extremely potent.

Value - We import directly from the manufacturer. There are no middlemen, distributors or wholesalers to increase the cost to the customer. We do this for one main reason. We strongly believe that the medicinal properties found in this honey should be made available to as many people as possible. Is the cost still too high? Yes it is, but as people start to realize the healing benefits of certified Manuka Honey, the demand grows worldwide, which increases the cost.

Every single batch of our honey is tested by independent laboratories*.

* As tested by Hill Laboratories, New Zealand, Nov 5, 2019 - see image on Product Page.

BENEFITS OF MANUKA HONEY

Our manuka honey is known to improve wound healing by stimulating cytokine release, by keeping the wound area moist and by fighting bugs. It contains hydrogen peroxide releasing enzymes, methylglyoxal, bioflavanoids and phenolic compounds. Manuka honey has potent healing properties which enhance, protect and actively support the body’s own defenses. Typically, medical grade honey is used for wound care, as a digestive aid, for helping to relieve sore throats, stomach ulcers, pressure sores, infections and for treating burns. It is found in first aid kits, hospitals and doctor's surgeries.

GOOD TO KNOW !

• Creamed honey is honey that has been processed to control crystallization. The process is often used in colder climates and involves heating the honey. We do not cream our honey as we do not use heat, which damages the enzymes.
• Only purchase manuka honey that includes the letters “MGO”, "NPA" or “UMF” along with the rating number, to be sure of their certified potency.
• MGO: According to Wikipedia, Methylglyoxal (MGO)....appears to have activity against E. coli and S. aureus and may help prevent formation of biofilms formed by P. aeruginosa.
• Honey does not need to be stored in the fridge, even after opening!

User questions & answers

Question:	When i'm trying to find the Batch number it says error and the code on the lid is not found either when i scan it.Is this honey fake
Answer:	I don't think Amazon had their version when I purchased my APC about 4-5 months ago. Amazon has leading companies make their product with the Amazon Brand.

Question:	Is it monofloral
Answer:	no. this is a surge protector, not a battery backup.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it Organic
Answer:	Hi, thanks for your question. Our product is not certified as an organic food. However, there is nothing added to this product artificially at any stage in the honey production process. The farmland the bees forage is not sprayed with pesticides, herbicides or insecticides because the rugged, mountainous terrain is not suitable for animals to graze. I hope this satisfactorily answers your question. Best regards, New Zealand Honey Co.
Question:	How much of Manuka Honey should you use in 8 ounces of water
Answer:	How do you drink manuka honey? Eat UMF Manuka Honey correctly. Take 1 tablespoon 2-3 times a day, before meal. Eat the honey directly from the spoon without mixing into a drink for best effects. Premium manuka honey does not taste too sweet, some has a bitter taste on it. You may like to drink some water after that to wash down the honey. How to eat Manuka Honey correctly? -HoneyCity Singapore ...
Question:	What do muf numbers mean
Answer:	"Not all Manuka honey is created equal! The most widely accepted Manuka honey certification is called UMF which stands for Unique Manuka Factor to describe and quantify the level of Antimicrobial activity which is largely based on the concentration of the compound methylglyoxal in the honey sample." Go to https://www.manukanatural.com/blog/manuka-honey-labels-what-the-numbers-mean/ . Copy and paste this article in search, if needed. In this article, it states the importance of the UMF # and what to look out for by some suppliers. Hope this helps. I have been using this product now for about 6 months. Started with UMF 10+, then UMF 16+, then UMF 24+. and now UMF 20+. In away I was doing a self-testing experiment on a specific health condition that I am dealing with. I started at a lower EMF number then, saw fantastic results, then worked up to a higher #. Each jar that I used I could tell that there is an improvement on my particular condition. I particularly like the EMF 20+ and the results that I am having with it. While I am using this product, I have also supplemented my diet with, No Processed Sugars, or as low as possible in the foods that I consume. It was difficult at first but comes pretty natural now. Now I can look at the market shelfs and pretty well tell what is the grams of sugars in that product type. I am Talking processed sugars, not NATURAL types of sugars, out of my diet. Fresh fruit and vegetables with their natural sugars are OK.
Question:	Has this honey crystalized after some time
Answer:	I've never had it crystalize.

User questions & answers

Question:	What does the kfactor number mean
Answer:	Hello, Thank you for your interest in our products, we appreciate it. It is important to note that the UMF Honey Association is a trade association made of voluntary paid membership, and is not a regulatory authority in New Zealand. As a trade association, they have their own honey grading system that their members must follow. Both the UMF rating system and our KFactor system have been deemed compliant for use by the NZ regulatory authority. Because the rating systems are internal standards, comparison of the two is not a transparent exercise. The regulatory authority in New Zealand, the Ministry of Primary Industries, has recently released the regulatory definition of Manuka honey, which will come into law from 5 February 2018. This is the result of many years of scientific research to find stable markers that can be easily and quickly replicated in the laboratory environment. Unfortunately, pollen analysis was not included because this requires specialist knowledge to differentiate the pollen. However, they have included a DNA test to prove floral origin as an easily replicated laboratory test. The markers used by the UMF association of Leptosperin, Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), and Methylglyoxal (MGO) were not included into the regulatory definition due to stability and other issues undisclosed by the regulatory authority. The regulatory definition includes 4 chemical markers with varying threshold levels, and the DNA test. A sample must meet all 5 test standards to be considered (and labelled) as Manuka honey. More information can be found on the regulatory website here: http://www.mpi.govt.nz/growing-and-harvesting/honey-and-bees/manuka-honey/ Please check out our website for updates and new products this year and if you’d like to try some samples, please email me back your shipping address. We hope this helps to clarify the answers to your questions, as we realize that the lack of a regulatory definition until now has created a high amount of confusion in the consumer market. We can be reached Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm EST our toll-free number is 877-296-8403, or email me at [email protected] with any additional questions. Thank you,
Question:	Where is the UMF label on the front of the jar? Only the UMF label are legit
Answer:	IMPORTANT & UP TO DATE FACTS (as of 5/23/2019): 1.) UMF is not a government agency, it is a trade organization all of whose founders & members are in the industry. 2.) MPI is a government agency in New Zealand & as of February 5th, 2018, is the only government regulated and approved standard for Manuka Honey in the world.
Question:	What is the grade of this manuka honey? I have heard it needs to be over 12 plus
Answer:	K-Factor 12 has been tested to equal MGO 68, which is just below NPA 5, K-Factor 15 has been tested to equal MGO 123, which is just above NPA 5.
Question:	is this honey an approved umf rating

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product help acne
Answer:	Yes manuka honey helps with acne. You would apply it to the affected area instead of acne cream after cleansing with soap and water.
Question:	Is this honey contained Hydrogen Peroxide
Answer:	All honey that is not processed with heat or otherwise denatured produces enzymatic peroxide activity, in the least irritating way suitable for consumption. Manuka honey is distinguished by it’s antimicrobial action over and above that which is attributable to peroxide; the degree of efficiency is measured by the UMF factor. It’s correct to say this is 100% pure honey I believe, but yes it does deliver natural peroxide as well as other antiseptic factors.
Question:	is this honey packaged in plastic
Answer:	Amazon warehouses only allows honey in plastic jars.
Question:	I don't see this company on the licensed list with umf honey association of nz website. is this honey really umf licensed
Answer:	Another consideration is HEAT. Even if it is UMF certified, heat will affect the quality and efficacy. Some manuka honeys are heated briefly to eliminate mold, etc. Also, shipping in hot weather can also adversely affect the honey. I have been using Kiva Manuka Honey lately and emailed the seller, Kiva Health, asking if their honey is completely unheated and where the honey is being shipped from. They chose not to answer. I have since switched to East Cape Te Araroa brand sold by Koru Naturals. They ship their honey through Priority Mail with cold packet enclosed to minimize exposure to heat. They are responsive to all questions and concerns. I have NO affiliation with any company. I have been using Manuka Honey for almost 20 years and have learned that there are vast differences in quality and care and that there are a lot of fraudulent "manuka honey" products on the market.

Question:	is it a real manuka honey, what lab it was tested
Answer:	Yes, It is real manuka honey. Here is some information about the testing of the levels: TA Manuka Honey (Active Manuka Honey) - Manuka Doctor TA Manuka honey measures the Total Activity (TA) of the honey including activity due to both Non Peroxide Activity & Hydrogen Peroxide (H202) activity but predominantly due to the Hydrogen Peroxide (H202) activity of the honey. The Total Activity is measured using Staphylococcus aureus NZRM 87 (ATCC 9144) and expressed as the equivalent % phenol as referenced in The University of Waikato Honey Assay Method under the Determination of Honey Activity by Bioassay Method. It is also certified by Oritain. You can look up their website - This is a statement for Oritain: We exist to protect brands and consumers from risks associated with food fraud. Fraud is a real and significant problem for the global food industry. It occurs when a product is substituted, adulterated, mislabeled or counterfeited and the motive is almost always economic gain. As a result, producers, retailers and consumers need assurances their product is genuine. To prove a product is genuine we verify its true origin by testing properties that naturally occur in the product. These properties are unique to where the product was grown or manufactured. I hope this helps. I use it myself in our home and we love it! Thanks

Manuka Doctor Honey

We label our honey range to reflect the Total Activity present at the time of testing. Our testing is independent, thorough and world class. The activity levels are tested at an authorised independent laboratory in New Zealand.

Manuka honey is a mono-floral honey, so-called because the bees that make it gather pollen from the Manuka bush (Leptospermum Scoparium). The plant is indigenous to New Zealand, beekeepers set up their hives in wild uncultivated areas in which Manuka bushes grow. And what’s even better is the honey is enriched because of the pollution free environment of New Zealand.

What does Bio Active honey mean?

TA Active is a commonly used rating system that predominantly measures the naturally occurring peroxide activity in honey.

What is TA rating?

The total activity rating (TA) is a reflection of predominantly naturally occurring peroxide activity levels.

The number on the front of the Manuka Doctor Bio Active TA Manuka honey pot refers to the Total Activity Rating (TA). Check the ratings to find the perfect strength for your individual needs.

How are TA levels measured?

TA Manuka Honey (Bio Active Manuka Honey) – Manuka Doctor TA Manuka honey measures the Total Activity (TA) of the honey predominantly due to the Hydrogen Peroxide (H202) activity of the honey. The Total Activity is measured using Staphylococcus aureus NZRM 87 (ATCC 9144) and expressed as the equivalent % phenol as referenced in The University of Waikato Honey Assay Method under the Determination of Honey Activity by Bioassay Method.

Manuka Doctor honey pots are BPA free.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why is this honey so expensive
Answer:	Simply put, large demand, small supply due to regional considerations and most importantly, it works. At least it did on me.
Question:	Is this in a glass jar
Answer:	Hello Suz C. No, the jar is dark brown plastic. Tom M.
Question:	How does rating of 20 umf compare to mgo rating of 550 or 400 for manuka honey? for mrsa prevention, which rating is best for oral consumption
Answer:	Rating of 20+ MGO is 400 (higher activity). Rating of 25+ is 550 (super activity degree)
Question:	What does the number (20+) mean? Does a higher # indicate higher medicinal properties
Answer:	Yes. You can find more information on this website: http://manuka-medus.lt/en/umf-vs-mgo/ UMF = Unique Manuka Factor. This is the international standard in measuring the amount of methylglyoxal in the honey. MGO = Methylglyoxal. These products were not independently tested nor certified for methylglyoxal content. What is methylglyoxal? Too complex to explain here, but it is the active ingredient in Manuka Honey and gives health benefits. What is Manuka? Leptospermum scoparium is the botanical name for this broom tree or tea tree (not the tea tree oil type) native to Australia and New Zealand, but often found in California gardens. The flowers from this tree yield Manuka honey. This honey contains methylglyoxal. The higher the content of methylglyoxal, the higher the UMF factor. Methylglyoxal has wound healing, anti-inflammatory, anti viral, anti bacterial, and anti septic properties. It has been known to combat e coli, staph infections, and prevent the common cold. There are studies available online to support this statement. UMF 20+ = 829 MGO (measurement of methylglyoxal content in the honey) UMF 18+ = 692 MGO UMF 15+ = 514 MGO UMF 12+ = 354 MGO UMF 10+ = 263 MGO UMF 5+ = 83 MGO (so weak its not very beneficial)

User questions & answers

Question:	New manuka honey user with severe gastroparesis, doctor told me to only get the umf 20+. How does this compare to Active MGO 400+ (Old umf
Answer:	This product is not UMF or MGO certified. Do not spend your money on this one. It is only close to an equivalent of 3 UMF (still not certified though).
Question:	Is this 100% real, pure, raw and organic manuka honey
Answer:	No, it’s not. It has no certification by UMF or MGO. The 24+ bio activity rating is something they created that is misleading to buyers. In my research on their website they actually show that 24+BA is close to an equivalent of maybe 3 UMF. Definitely not therapeutic levels. Basically, it’s expensive regular honey. It's thick, and it tastes good, but not likely the manuka honey you’re looking for.
Question:	is this container bpa free
Answer:	Hi, Thank you for your interest in our Manuka Dr. brand of products. Yes, the honey pot is BPA free.
Question:	what s the difference between the 15 + and the 20+ ? thank you
Answer:	I think the numbers have to do with activity and potency. Below 10 is low end of medicinal strength and below 20 is mid strength. Some people can have sensitivity to strengths about 20.

Manuka Doctor Honey

We label our honey range to reflect the Total Activity present at the time of testing. Our testing is independent, thorough and world class. The activity levels are tested at an authorised independent laboratory in New Zealand.

Manuka honey is a mono-floral honey, so-called because the bees that make it gather pollen from the Manuka bush (Leptospermum Scoparium). The plant is indigenous to New Zealand, beekeepers set up their hives in wild uncultivated areas in which Manuka bushes grow. And what’s even better is the honey is enriched because of the pollution free environment of New Zealand.

What does Bio Active honey mean?

TA Active is a commonly used rating system that predominantly measures the naturally occurring peroxide activity in honey.

What is TA rating?

The total activity rating (TA) is a reflection of predominantly naturally occurring peroxide activity levels.

The number on the front of the Manuka Doctor Bio Active TA Manuka honey pot refers to the Total Activity Rating (TA). Check the ratings to find the perfect strength for your individual needs.

How are TA levels measured?

TA Manuka Honey (Bio Active Manuka Honey) – Manuka Doctor TA Manuka honey measures the Total Activity (TA) of the honey predominantly due to the Hydrogen Peroxide (H202) activity of the honey. The Total Activity is measured using Staphylococcus aureus NZRM 87 (ATCC 9144) and expressed as the equivalent % phenol as referenced in The University of Waikato Honey Assay Method under the Determination of Honey Activity by Bioassay Method.

Manuka Doctor honey pots are BPA free.

• MANUKA RATINGS AND ORIGIN We agree, it’s quite confusing! There is a vast range of quality and efficacy between Manuka Honeys. Some brands promote labeling terms like “Factors” or “Bio-Active” with numbers like 12, 16 or “24+”. These products lack independent quality standards to ensure purity, potency, and value. Make sure to look for the UMF quality mark, and like Champagne comes from France, true Manuka comes from New Zealand.
