Manuka Honey ratings

[Annette Anderson]

Hi Dr Woeller,

In Module 1, you mentioned research showing Manuka Honey’s health benefits (anti-H. Pylori).

There is a rating system (5-20+) for Manuka Honey, and the higher the rating, supposedly there are more health benefits. https://export-x.com/2014/05/29/manuka-honey-mgo-umf-ratings-compared/

It’s also much more expensive for the higher ratings.

Do you know if it matters which number rating for Manuka honey is used to address H. pylori?

Thanks 🙂
Annette

Annette,
I don’t know that information for sure with regards to H. pylori. It likely does since the higher the rating the more active it is. Some information I found shows that a rating at 10 or higher indicates a ‘high’ activity and therefore a higher antibacterial effect. The downside to Manuka honey is its cost.
