Buying Manuka Honey in the U.S.

Honeymark has announced the launch of their own brand of Manuka Honey. This active, medical-grade honey comes from New Zealand and is known for its ability to cure a wide range of health conditions.

Manuka Honey is becoming a well-recognized health remedy in the U.S. market and all over the world. In the quiet, pollution-free countryside of New Zealand, hardworking honeybees gather nectar from a very special flower that grows on a native bush called the Manuka Tea Tree (also known as Leptospermum scoparium). It is this nectar that contains molecules that many believe holds the key to healing many different illnesses. Most recently, Manuka Honey has been gaining worldwide recognition for its ability to eradicate the MRSA bacterium that is responsible for causing life threatening Staph infections that are otherwise impervious to antibiotics. The resilient superbugs associated with MRSA are no match for the potent antibacterial properties of Manuka Honey.

Manuka Honey gets its antibacterial properties from 4 main components. It's osmolarity in effect dehydrates infectious microorganisms by drawing moisture out of bacterial cells. Manuka Honey is also very acidic with pH levels not conducive for bacterial growth. Like other types of honey, Manuka Honey also contains low levels of hydrogen peroxide which is a known antiseptic. What makes Manuka Honey different than other types of honey are the plant-derived floral components that are present, such as methylglyoxal and a not yet recognized compound that has become known as the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF. These floral nectar components contribute greatly to its antibacterial activity.

In addition to its powerful antibacterial properties, Manuka Honey is also considered to be antimicrobial, anti-fungal, antiviral and anti-parasitic. Since most health conditions are cause by some sort of bacteria, virus, fungus or parasite, Manuka Honey is being recognized as a viable treatment option for many conditions that don't respond well to traditional forms of medication. When taken orally, Manuka Honey is effective in treating sore throats, strep throat, stomach aches, stomach ulcers, acid reflux disease, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, gastro-intestinal disorders, cold and flu symptoms, etc. When used topically on the skin, Manuka Honey is effective in treating infected wounds, burns, acne, eczema, ringworm and a variety of other conditions.

Since its origin is New Zealand, Manuka Honey can be somewhat hard to come by. Shipping costs from New Zealand to the U.S. can sometimes exceed the amount of the honey itself. However, now U.S. consumers can purchase Honeymark brand Manuka Honey more conveniently. Honeymark's Manuka Honey is certified by the Active Manuka Honey Association in New Zealand to be active UMF 16+ which is a potent medical-grade honey. Consumers should beware of other companies that sell less potent Manuka Honey for a discounted price. Manuka Honey that is not bioactive does not contain enough antimicrobial properties necessary for medicinal use. Honeymark assures their customers that their Manuka Honey is of medical grade.

Honeymark International is known for manufacturing quality skin care products that contain active Manuka Honey as a natural healing agent. Honeymark's skin care products are not sticky and offer the same benefits of Manuka Honey without the sticky mess. When used for internal purposes, Manuka Honey usually outperforms most medicines, with of course, a much more pleasant flavor. If you're having difficulty getting your children to take medicine when they're sick, Manuka Honey may be an easier choice. And Manuka Honey is a natural product, it has also been found to have no known side effects.

"Manuka Honey has become an extremely important resource and valuable commodity," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "As word continues to spread about the healing ability of this premium honey, it will become viewed more as a natural treatment alternative to pharmaceutical medication." Honeymark plans to continue to expand its range of Manuka honey-based products to include a Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash, Lip Balm, Foaming Cleanser and Moisturizer. Customers can expect to see these new products later this year.

Manuka Honey Available in the USA

This amazing natural resource from New Zealand has become increasingly more popular as of late. As a result, it is now being utilized as a main ingredient in skin care products manufactured in the U.S.

Manuka Honey's international notoriety stems from its ability to treat a wide spectrum of health conditions both internally and topically on the skin. When taken orally, Manuka Honey has been proven to be effective in treating conditions such as acid reflux disease, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, stomach ulcers, gum disease, etc. Manuka Honey
has also been effective in treating a wide range of skin conditions such as eczema, acne, infected wounds, burns, ringworm, etc.

Manuka Honey is considered to be antimicrobial, which means it is effective in destroying microorganisms that are responsible for causing bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Since most health conditions are caused by these unwanted microbes, Manuka Honey's ability to destroy them has attracted the attention of doctors and other medical professionals around the world. Manuka Honey is even efficacious enough to eradicate MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Since antibiotics have proven to be relatively ineffective in treating Staph infections, the use of Manuka Honey is now being considered a viable treatment alternative. This is being recognized as a major breakthrough in the medical industry.

In addition to its medicinal qualities, Manuka Honey is also drawing attention to itself as a cosmetic ingredient. Manuka Honey has a hydrating and rejuvenating effect on the skin. It also has the ability to increases skin elasticity and collagen production. As a result, Manuka Honey has become recognized as an excellent anti-wrinkle solution. It has other impressive skin care applications in terms of a cleansing agent for clearing acne and other unsightly blemishes. Its antibacterial properties eliminate infections that cause red marks, boils and pimples.

It's not the bees in New Zealand that are so special, rather than the flowers where they collect the nectar to make the honey. The Manuka bush grows beautiful white and pink flowers that contain this unique nectar with unusually potent healing properties. Honeybees use this nectar to produce Manuka Honey. Bee farmers in New Zealand put their hives within close proximity to Manuka trees so that the bees only use its nectar to manufacture their honey.

Unfortunately, Manuka Honey is somewhat hard to come by. Shipping costs from New Zealand to the U.S. can be more than the honey itself. However, a New York-based company called Honeymark has developed a line of skin care products containing Manuka Honey as a main ingredient. Their creams and lotions also takes the sticky mess out of applying Manuka Honey directly to the skin.

"In many cases, active Manuka Honey has proven to be more effective than traditional forms of medicine," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International. "At a time when consumers are becoming more confident in the use of natural and cosmeceutical products, Manuka Honey offers the peace of mind of having no negative side effects. Even medical doctors who are usually more in favor of pharmaceuticals have become impress with the amazing healing benefits of Manuka Honey."
