Honey is often mistakenly equated with sugar due to its sweetness, but they are entirely different substances. Our product is 100% pure, raw, and naturally matured honey. The sugars in Strong Manuka Honey have a different molecular structure from those in sugar (sucrose). As a result, once they reach a certain  blood concentration, their absorption is regulated. In other words, unlike sugar, they are not absorbed into the bloodstream indefinitely. As a result, it can be used for dieting and, under medical supervision, may also be safely consumed by individuals with diabetes.

Honey is produced when bees collect nectar secreted from flowers and convert it within their bodies using salivary enzymes, breaking it down  into the simple sugars glucose and fructose. Sugar (sucrose) is a disaccharide, meaning that glucose and fructose are tightly bonded together. In this form, it cannot be directly digested or  absorbed by the body. In contrast, honey consists of simple sugars, which can be immediately digested and absorbed without placing a burden on the stomach. This  property is also why glucose injections are administered to patients with weakened physical strength.

Strong Manuka Honey is a pure, raw honey, collected by bees from naturally growing flowers without undergoing heat treatment, preserving its  natural composition. As a result, it is a nutrient-rich food that allows the body to absorb a wide range of enzymes and beneficial compounds. It is said that honey’s composition begins to break down by 10% when exposed to just 10°C of heat. Considering the importance of trace nutrients  for the body, raw honey is the ideal form of honey. Pure, raw honey has high natural activity, unlike mass-produced, heat-processed, or additive-containing honey blends. The nutritional composition  differs significantly, with raw honey containing a well-balanced abundance of vitamins and minerals. Due to its exceptionally fast absorption into the bloodstream, it is highly effective for fatigue recovery.

Additionally, the glucose in honey is immediately consumed as an energy source, meaning that it does not place a burden on the pancreas to  secrete insulin. Therefore, there is no need for concern, unlike with sugar. Furthermore, the unique component Methylglyoxal (MGO) promotes the activation of mitochondria within cells, significantly contributing to energy production.

However, since honey still contains sugar, it is natural for some people to be concerned about blood sugar levels. For customers with high blood sugar levels, consuming a small amount of our highest-activity Strong Manuka Honey MGO 1050+ is expected to help ease concerns. Although the price varies significantly depending on the activity level, this issue can be managed by adjusting the intake amount. In fact, most of our customers find that using a small amount of higher-activity honey is more effective and economical than consuming larger  quantities of lower-activity honey, even if the price per unit is higher.

The combination use of propolis extract and Strong Manuka Honey offer additive and synergistic benefits. For general health maintenance, a recommended starting dosage is one teaspoon of Strong Manuka Honey mixed with 5 to 10 drops of  Propolis Extract. However, since natural active substances cannot be regarded in the same way as pharmaceuticals, their effects vary greatly from person to person. We believe that the best approach is for each individual to experiment and find the most suitable method and dosage for their own body. This combination is particularly beneficial for the digestive system. As digestive health improves, it can lead to enhanced immunity, better overall  health, and noticeable physical improvements in a short period. We highly recommend giving it a try.
