WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANUKA AND RED GUM?

  • Active honeys like Manuka may all look the same, but our Red Gum honeycomb is laboratory tested to be antimicrobial.

  • Manuka honey is antibacterial. Red Gum honeycomb is antimicrobial. While Manuka honey has been known to have antimicrobial properties, it’s at a much lower level than Red Gum honeycomb.

  • Antibacterial means active against bacteria. Antimicrobial means active against microbes. Microbes are bacteria, fungi or viruses, meaning that our honey has three benefits in one.

WHAT DOES THE TOTAL ACTIVITY (TA) RATING OF HONEY MEAN?
