The manuka shrub grows wild in New Zealand’s most remote areas and flowers for just 2-6 weeks each year.And remember, honey isn’t a ‘magic pill’– it should be incorporated into a nutritious eating pattern complete with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Food Supplements are intended to supplement the diet and should not be substituted for a varied diet or healthy lifestyle. Manuka honey from New Zealand contains over 2,000 individual compounds - more than 20x higher than some types of pasture honey, such as clover honey.
