A spoonful of honey on toast has long been a firm Kiwi breakfast favourite but now more and more people are choosing manuka honey in a whole host of different formats to improve their health and well-being. Manuka Health, a leading New Zealand natural health company has just opened a new multi-million dollar facility to help meet the growing demand from Kiwis for innovative new manuka honey-based products.

Manuka Health has built an enviable reputation developing solutions that contribute to a healthy lifestyle.  From dietary supplements for digestive health, cough lozenges and toothpaste, to nursing, wound and skin care, Manuka Health’s stable of products meets the growing trend of people interested in including natural products in their health and well-being regime. Consumers may already be familiar with Manuka Health Royal Jelly & Bee Pollen developed to enhance vitality and wellbeing, BIO New Zealand Propolis™ for powerful immune support and CycloPower™ which is boosted with cyclodextrins for targeted dietary benefits.

Manuka Health Chief Executive Kerry Paul says, "We are committed to improving the wellbeing of our customers by providing high quality trusted natural health products that harness the scientifically proven benefits of unique bioactive compounds from New Zealand’s manuka honey and other native flora.”

“We have taken a simple, raw product and through proven scientific methods we are able to preserve the bioactivity and potency of the natural ingredients. This innovative work improves the honey and makes it into a vital component in world leading, high value food and health products,” says Paul.

“Customers can identify genuine manuka honey by the methylglyoxal content, also known as MGO™. The MGO™ level is clearly shown on all Manuka Health packaging where appropriate. MGO™ is directly responsible for the antibacterial activity of manuka honey. Manuka honey with MGO™ higher than 100mg/kg or higher is scientifically proven to have antibacterial properties. The MGO™ level is clearly shown on all Manuka Health packaging where appropriate.”

Manuka Health’s new customised facility is the largest honey factory in New Zealand and the investment represents a significant step in the development of New Zealand’s manuka honey industry. Customers around the world can rely on Manuka Health to deliver proven products that incorporate the goodness and natural power of manuka honey.
