Humer Active Manuka Honey IAA 15+ 250g is a Manuka Honey dietary supplement. Its particularity comes from its high content of methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound derived from the nectar of the flowers of this southern plant, Leptospermum scoparium. The beneficial properties of honey are multiplied tenfold.
This honey gets its exceptional properties from compounds coming from the plant :
- dihydroacetone (DHA) which is converted to methylglyoxal (MGO) during honey ripening. This natural compound is present in Manuka honey in concentrations up to 100 times higher than other honeys. It is its high concentration that promotes the non-peroxidic activity of this honey.
- methyl-syringate (MSYR) and one of its derivatives, leptoserine (or leptosine) derived solely from the nectar of Manuka flowers, which induce an enzymatic action that converts hydrogen peroxide into sodium hypochlorite.
The higher the MGO level of a honey, the more active it is. This level of activity is attested by the IAA® index, which guarantees that the honey has been tested by a laboratory and that its unique properties have been scientifically measured.
The concentration of Humer Active Manuka Honey IAA 15+ in MGO is greater than or equal to 514 mg / kg.
