UMF® Manuka Honey is produced by honeybees that feed on New Zealand's native Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium), a flowering shrub covered in white or pink flowers in spring and summer that grows in the subtropical North Island.

Recent laboratory studies have proven that “Active Manuka Honey,” named UMF® Manuka Honey, contains natural compounds with powerful antibacterial properties.
