    THE GIFT OF LIFE

    Mānuka honey’s raw wonder

    By 2006, British hospitals had begun using mānuka honey to overpower antibiotic-resistant superbugs and pathogens. This news sparked an international sensation, and ignited a gold rush for mānuka products. 

    That very same year, an earth-shattering discovery shed light on the mystery behind the magic. Methylglyoxal (MGO), a powerful bioactive compound, was revealed to be responsible for mānuka honey’s potent antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. 

    The discovery drove Mānuka Health’s team to create a whole new system that would forever shape the way the world understands mānuka honey. Since 2008, our MGO rating has morphed into an international standard of mānuka. Helping measure its intangible magic, and instilling confidence in the power and potency of each drop.

    IMMUNITY 80

    THE CLOAK OF IMMUNITY

    Pioneers in propolis

    Propolis is a natural antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory. It’s created by bees to protect and preserve the hive; and it has the power to protect us humans, too. 

    Together with the world’s most skilled scientists, Mānuka Health pioneered the process of extracting and testing the unique bioactives imbued within New Zealand propolis. This solidified a seminal standard for propolis. Certifying beyond compare the bioactive properties of New Zealand propolis,  and guaranteeing the potency and purity of Mānuka Health’s propolis-infused products. 

    IMMORTALITY 80

    THE PURSUIT OF IMMORTALITY

    Royal jelly and eternal radiance

    Royal jelly is the queen-maker. The elusive elixir generated by the bees, fed to those destined to become royalty. Dining on an exclusive diet of royal jelly alone, the queen bee lives 40 times longer than her subjects. In human terms, that would make us 3,200 years old; born even before Jesus. 

    The world reveres royal jelly for its regenerating, rejuvenating and replenishing abilities. Antioxidant and nutrient-rich, it enriches the body within and without. Royal jelly is also the only source of 10H2DA known in nature. This incredible compound is as magical as it is mysterious. And its wild elegance is encapsulated in each capsule of Mānuka Health royal jelly.
