UMF® Manuka Honey / Active Manuka Honey - They are
NOT the same.
The UMF® antibacterial property is not in most manuka honey,
making that which has UMF® a unique and highly sought-after
honey.
Originally manuka honey which had the UMF® antibacterial property
was known as Active Manuka Honey (and is often referred to
by this name in the research papers).
But, the name active is now being used by many to refer to
either the peroxide antibacterial activity of honey or to
honey with a very low UMF® activity, too low to be recommended
for therapeutic use.
It is most necessary to look
for the name UMF® on the front label.
The name UMF® guarantees the presence of this property at levels
regarded as being most suitable for special therapeutic use.
