It is recommended that you consult with your healthcare professional before taking any health supplements, including Mānuka honey, during pregnancy.

This ensures safety based on your individual health needs.

Mānuka honey should not be given to children who are under the age of 12 months.

This is a standard safety precaution for infants in the first year of life.

Individuals with diabetes are advised to consult their healthcare professional before consuming honey.

Manuka South sources its honey from expert beekeepers located throughout New Zealand.

Manuka South honey is derived from the nectar of the Mānuka flower, a scarce resource that can only be collected for 2 to 6 weeks each year.

The most genuine, high-grade batches display a UMF^® rating, which verifies purity and the presence of unique signature markers like Leptosperin, DHA, and Methylglyoxal.

UMF^® (Unique Mānuka Factor) is a comprehensive grading system that identifies signature compounds to safeguard authenticity, whereas MGO specifically measures Methylglyoxal levels.

A UMF^® rating verifies purity by identifying key markers such as Leptosperin and DHA in addition to Methylglyoxal.

Mānuka honey is produced by honey bees that collect nectar from the Mānuka flower, a tree native to New Zealand known as Leptospermum scoparium.

The nectar is stored in the bee's sac, mixed with proteins and enzymes, and then cured in honeycombs by evaporating water through wing fanning.

If stored properly away from excessive heat and direct sunlight, Mānuka honey can last well beyond its best-before date.

Manuka South honey is harvested from secluded, high-density Mānuka forests that are often only accessible by helicopter.

Mānuka honey is versatile and can be consumed straight off a spoon, added to meals or drinks, or applied directly to wounds, cuts, and sores.

The price reflects the labor-intensive harvesting in remote locations, the extremely short blooming season, and rigorous certified quality testing.

Each batch undergoes analysis for DHA and MGO levels and is carefully aged in temperature-controlled facilities to reach optimal UMF^® results.

The Limited Reserve Collection is a range of aged honey harvested from isolated New Zealand areas to enhance its intricate flavor and UMF^® properties.

Only the finest quality honey is selected for this range, which is cellared to ensure natural enzymes are preserved and properties are fully developed.

UMF^® stands for Unique Mānuka Factor, a world-leading grading system that verifies the purity and quality of genuine New Zealand Mānuka honey.

The rating represents unique signature compounds like Leptosperin, DHA, and Methylglyoxal. Ratings above 10+ are considered 'highly active'.

Colour and texture vary because Mānuka honey is a natural product affected by the time of harvest, regional origin, and specific floral sources.

The process includes collecting and extracting nectar, maturing raw honey in temperature-controlled facilities, and creaming it for three days before packing.

No, Manuka South honey is only filtered to remove bits of honeycomb, keeping it raw and unpasteurised.

A 250g jar provides a one-month supply, while a 500g jar provides a two-month supply based on a daily serving of 10g.
