Manuka honey is famous for its powerful health benefits, but did you know that Australian Manuka might actually be stronger and better value than New Zealand’s? Research from the University of the Sunshine Coast has found some surprising differences between the two, making Australian Manuka Honey a standout choice.
What Makes Manuka Honey So Special?
Manuka honey is well-known for its antibacterial, antiviral, and wound-healing properties. It comes from the nectar of the Leptospermum plant, which grows in both Australia and New Zealand. However, Australia is home to 87 different Leptospermum species, while New Zealand only has one dominant type. This means Australian Manuka offers a greater variety of bioactive compounds, potentially boosting its health benefits.
The Science Behind It: Why Australian Manuka is Stronger
Recent studies show that Australian Manuka Honey contains up to three times more Leptosperin than New Zealand Manuka. Leptosperin is a natural compound that confirms the authenticity and potency of Manuka honey. Higher levels of this compound suggest that Australian Manuka may be more powerful and effective for supporting health and wellness.
