Mānuka Honey demonstrates antibacterial activity against E. Coli, Salmonella, and H. Pylori
Research has long highlighted the incredible antibacterial properties of Mānuka honey, a natural wonder derived from the nectar of the Mānuka tree in New Zealand. Unlike regular honey, Mānuka honey boasts unique non-peroxide activity, attributed to its high concentrations of methylglyoxal (MGO). This compound makes it a powerful natural agent in combating harmful bacteria, including Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella, and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).
Studies have demonstrated that Mānuka honey disrupts the growth and spread of E. coli and Salmonella, two bacteria often responsible for foodborne illnesses. By targeting bacterial cell walls and interfering with their ability to reproduce, Mānuka honey provides a natural alternative to traditional treatments.
Another significant area of research focuses on H. pylori, a bacterium linked to stomach ulcers and even gastric cancer. The antibacterial action of Mānuka honey has shown promise in inhibiting the growth of H. pylori, offering a potential natural supplement to support digestive health.
What the studies have shown
Mānuka honey (MH) is a powerful natural antibacterial that can fight a wide range of harmful bacteria, including E. coli, Salmonella, and H. pylori. It has also been shown to work against antibiotic-resistant bacteria like MRSA and biofilm-forming bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which are often linked to hard-to-treat infections.
Scientists have discovered that MH’s antibacterial power comes from its key ingredients, such as methylglyoxal (MGO) and polyphenols. Recent studies have focused on how these components work together to stop bacteria from surviving and spreading. This research confirms that Mānuka honey is a natural and effective way to fight infections.
These findings emphasize the benefits of incorporating high-quality UMF-certified Mānuka honey, such as Steens Raw Mānuka Honey, into your daily routine. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, it not only supports immunity but also aids in maintaining a balanced gut microbiome.
As science continues to explore the potential of this remarkable honey, its reputation as a natural defense against harmful bacteria only grows stronger.
