Medical Manuka Honey

The discovery of a strong antimicrobial property in Manuka honey by Dr Peter Molan MBE led him to focus his efforts on sourcing and harvesting this unique honey. Dr Molan found that not all Manuka honey has the same level of antibacterial activity. Through his research it became evident that some areas of Manuka forest do not produce honey with active properties every year, and the concentrations of activity can vary from batch to batch, and from region to region.

The MOLAN GOLD STANDARD™ is a certification mark for rating the bioactivity of products.

Bioactivity is a word to describe how molecules in plants interact within humans or animals to produce a result that affects our mental or physical health in some way. The most common bioactivities are: antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiviral.

The MOLAN GOLD STANDARD™ is set by Professor Molan to give consumers full confidence that what they are using has an accurate, scientifically conducted measurement of the claimed bioactivity.

Watson & Son is pioneering a new range of medical products that utilise Manuka honey as the active ingredient. To find out more please visit www.manukamed.com
