Manuka Honey vs. Regular Honey: Is the Upgrade Worth It?
Share
You’ve seen Manuka honey on labels — but is it really that different?
Short answer: YES.
Regular honey is mostly sugar with trace nutrients. Manuka honey is sourced from New Zealand’s Manuka bush and contains methylglyoxal (MGO) — a compound with powerful antibacterial and healing effects.
Manuka Benefits:
Clinically studied for immune support
UMF rating ensures purity and potency
Aids wound healing, digestion, and inflammation
Used in hospitals for its antimicrobial properties
So yes — it’s more expensive. But it’s also much more effective.
