Comvita Honeys and Bee Pollen

Comvita Manuka Honey is sourced from New Zealand's remote, pollution free native forests and is world renowned for its unique flavour. Comvita Manuka Honeys for both the table and the first aid cabinet are tested for the unique antibacterial properties which makes New Zealand Manuka honey famous.

The NZ honey industry has registered UMF® as a trademark so that the antibacterial activity of Manuka honey cannot be misrepresented. The UMF® number comes from a laboratory test, the honey being compared with a standard reference antiseptic (phenol) for potency. UMF® 20+ would be equivalent in antiseptic potency to a 20% solution of phenol.

Manuka Honey which is tested and proven to have the UMF® (Unique Manuka Factor) is labeled accordingly.  Only honeys with a UMF® rating higher than 10 can use the UMF® trademark.

Manuka Honey is:-

  • raw and untreated to retain its natural enzymes, propolis and pollen
  • nutritious and therapeutic
  • a storehouse of potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, sulphur and other minerals; 18 amino acids, several B vitamins and vitamin C
  • a probiotic and helps build good bacteria in the gut after illness or antibiotics
  • particularly effective for healing wounds by preventing bacterial growth
  • a powerful antibacterial agent, stronger than many synthetic antibiotics

    • Bee pollen is a fine dust that makes up the male element of plants. When mixed in the hive with nectar and special enzymes, nutritious granules are formed. The young bees are fed these granules which are high in protein.
    Each pollen grain is made up of enzymes, co-enzymes, hormones, essential fatty acids, carbohydrates and up to 25% amino acids. Pollen contains all vitamins (except D & K) and trace elements including Potassium, Magnesium & Phosphorus.
