## Description

More and more people are adding honey into their everyday diet, and particularly using it as a natural sweetener for tea. When you consider that honey has many antibacterial and antifungal properties it is easy to see why.  It has recently been discovered that in the process of the enzymes in the bees honey stomach breaking down the glucose from the nectar that gives most raw honey antibacterial properties. Some pollens negates this effect a little but most quality raw honey is antibacterial . Honey is also extremely low in water and highly acidic, both conditions are a hostile environment for bacteria. So that's why most honey is considered antibacterial.  The reason why raw manuka honey is hailed as the high antibacterial honey is because in addition to the antibacterial properties which come from the bees enzymes, manuka honey also contains an additional and much stronger antibacterial component that comes specifically from the manuka flower. This type of antibacterial activity is called non-peroxide activity or NPA for short. The non-peroxide activity of manuka honey is made up of three components: Methygloxal (or MG for short), dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and Leptosperin.  The reason why you've been told not to have honey in your hot tea is because the antibacterial component of most quality raw honeys does die in heat and light. So yes, most honey, in a cup of hot water will lose it's antibacterial qualities.  NPA which is unique to manuka honey is both heat and light stable - meaning the special, high antibacterial properties of manuka honey don't die in tea the same way that the antibacterial properties found in other honey does. Hence, manuka honey is the ideal and natural drinking honey.  Belixir MG 500 has been independently verified to contain the same level of methylgloxal (the main active ingredient in manuka honey) as manuka honey UMF 15

## Features

- REAL NEW ZEALAND MANUKA HONEY: independently tested and certified 100% New Zealand Manuka Honey
- CERTIFIED TO CONTAIN MG 500+: The MG rating system measures the active ingredient in manuka honey called methylgloxal. MG 500 contains the same concentration of MG as UMF 15+. This is a great level for health purposes.
- PERFECT FOR TEA, SMOOTHIES and HEALTH TONICS: Unlike the antibacterial properties in other honeys, this special antibacterial component unique to manuka honey does not die in heat and light - in plain English, the antibacterial component is still active in hot tea making this the perfect honey for tea - which is why we call it drinking honey.
- DRINKING HONEY: Use Belixir Manuka Honey to sweeten and flavor tea or with apple cider vinegar as a morning tonic or in a cinnamon and honey drink, or it can also be used on toast, in oatmeal, in yogurt, or just enjoy by the spoonful for its many well researched health benefits. Belixir = Bee Elixir.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why, if it is certified UMF, is is not listed on the umf.org.nz website as a member?**
A: This honey has been independently tested and verified for its MG levels (the active ingredient in manuka honey) it is not a UMF Association member. The certification is for MG 500 which is the same level of MG that is found in UMF 15.

**Q: Is there a umfha licence number on or for this manuka honey?**
A: Belixir is not a UMFHA association member, but all the honey is independently tested and verified by Analytica Laboratories (IANZ Accredited Laboratory) so we are confident in the grading and labelling (It is also why we can offer this grade at such a great price)

**Q: Is there an user manual?**
A: There is no user manual. You take a plastic tablespoon and take orally. You can also put it in tea. Never use a metal spoon because the chemicals will tarnish the honey. I hope this helps.

**Q: Why doesn’t the honey label say that it’s raw/unpasteurized? Has it been heated?**
A: No, it has not been heated.
