New Zealand Manuka Honey Specialists About Active Manuka What is “Active Manuka”Honey? Most honeys contain a certain level of antibacterial properties due to Hydrogen Peroxide activity. The difference between varieties of honey with regards to antibacterial activity is immense. Laboratory testing is required to establish the level of antibacterial activity in honey. The honey is compared with a standard reference antiseptic (PHENOL) for potency. For example a honey with an activity rating of 4 would be equivalent in antiseptic potency to a four percent solution of phenol (Carbolic Disinfectant). Honey should have a rating of four or higher before it can be regarded as “Active Honey”. (Honey with an activity rating between 4 and *0 is a good eating honey and used in hot drinks to cure winter illnesses.) Active Honey above *0+ is regarded as a medicinal honey. The higher the activity rating is the stronger the medicinal quality. Natures Buzz has a range of *0+ Medical Activity rated honey.
