Comvita Unpasteurised Manuka Honey from New Zealand (UMF 15+, MGO 514+) - 250g | Raw Manuka Honey New Zealand, Pure Unpasteurized Honey, Superfood for Immune Health, Wild, Use in Tea, Non-GMO

Firstly ignore the amazon description, this is UMF 15+ and it is 250g honey NOT lozenges. Secondly this is proper certified UMF non-GM Manuka honey. Not all Manuka honey is UMF and not all UMF Manuka honey is officially certified so check if you go on to purchase another product, but this one is the real deal. Taste: A bit like toffee (looks like it too) and also a bit like medicine/cough syrup, pleasant though and definitely fine just plain in 1 or 2 teaspoons daily. Spreading on a sandwich or green apples does the trick for me, occasionally stirring into tea or a hot lemon drink also works with great taste. Consistency: Thick at room temperature (20C) like peanut butter or nutella but you can warm it up slightly to make it easier to spread. Effect: Definitely helps with preventing a cold/flu getting worse or when recovering from them. Your cough will ease, as will healing from an infection or a cut. I haven't tried spreading it on an injury yet but I have noticed it has improved my digestion. Everyone knows honey is beneficial and I believe Manuka is even more so, definitely worth the investment if you will use it regularly but not for a one-off miracle.

Having repeat throat infections brought me to looking for a alternative to constant antibiotics. Being asthmatic I cant take inti-inflammatory so often suffer with swelling and sore throats, not to mention chest infections. Someone recommended I take this, and although I don't like honey I figured it was worth a try. I can honestly say I am very pleased and surprised with the results, as a preventative measure it has drastically reduced the amount of repeat infections I get, and as a "cure" for when I have an infection, I find it soothing and helps reduce the inflammation and the severity of the infection meaning the need for antibiotics is greatly reduced. Excellent for supporting those with low immunity and also suitable to take in many forms, (drink, spread, as it is, in cooking etc and as a topical cream) I am pleased with the comvita brand and have found the quality of the product consistent. I have tried other brands but feel much happier and more protected with the comvita, and with the amazon "repeat order" subscription system is cost effective and guarantees you are not left without I definitely recommend paying the extra for a product with a "UMF" rating as these seem to be the best regulated and more effective than the "active" honeys. If you are like me and don't like honey, don't be put off....I have it in a small glass of hot lemonade every morning and have found this the best way to take it.

After doing a lot of homework with regard to acid reflux and Manuka honey,and also already knowing the benefits of 'active' Manuka honey which is so good for many things externally and internally I sent for this for my very much loved little cat who is in the early stages of CRF. (Stomach acid is one of the big problems with this condition.) Thankfully cats can take honey with no adverse effects. I give her half a teaspoonful daily, (divided up, and diluted slightly) three times a day, and I can only say that within two weeks the improvement was very noticeable. Now after a month she's very much brighter, and I feel that the acid condition is being healed, rather than than just helped along with the anti acid medication from the vets. It's important to buy a UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) +15 for it to do any good medicinally. I'm now on the second pot, because I'm rather enjoying it myself too, lovely deep taste, and so good for you (and your pets)!

The best honey I've ever tried, but it came with broken lid and had leaked. Poor packaging of an expensive product - this is unacceptable. For packing one star, for honey quality 5.

PROS: UMF top grade manuka The taste is divine. Best honey ive had CONS: The price brings tears to my eyes IN CONCLUSION I bought this for my dog who is very poorly. I have had manuka for myself before and not liked the taste. I was giving it to my dog and without thinking licked my finger to get rid of excess honey. Well the poor dog hasn't had a look in since - well he has had to share. I have some every day and when combining the health benefits with the taste (think mana from heaven) I think the price is well justified. I will definitely be buying this again...and again ;)

So many Manuka Honey products claim to be 15+ when in reality the Honey is nowhere near that level. The Comvita brand is a trusted brand that delivers. I suffered with vestibular neuritis for nearly a year. After taking a tablespoon of this Honey a day for two weeks my condition cleared up completely. I continue to take a small teaspoon every night before bedtime. Not only does it help with sleep, I have had no signs of a cold or flu in 6 months and no more reoccurring symptoms of the vestibular neuritis. This is expensive but you get what you pay for.

This honey is good value and tastes delicious. I have almost finished it and can definitely say that it is making a difference.. My skin is clearer and smoother, my joints are less achy and I feel generally more energetic since I've been taking it. The benefits of honey are well documented and this is a good quality/grade of manuka.

The bottle doesn't say anything about being raw or unpasteurised, just like it's advertised. I just bought a different brand of raw and unpasteurised Manuka honey and it certainly didn't taste anything like this one. Why send a different bottle than the one advertised anyway? How can we even trust the contents in this case? Don't be fooled by the high price tag or the false and misleading information on their page. Very disappointed.

Great product! I've been use this honey as a face mask for hyperpigmentation and I saw results within a week. My husband also used this to soothe his throat from a couch that he'd had for about a month and the cough went away after two days. This is a miracle product and I'll continue to buy.

Llego muy bien en tiempo y forma. Estoy hace dos días probando el producto espero que me funcione. Parece de buena calidad y el sabor es como cualquier miel.

Skin

I wanted to take a moment and write about this amazing honey. I am an engineering student so I usually don't have time to write reviews for the things I buy but I couldn't wait to write a review about this product. I am originally from a humid country. I have lived all over the world before and all those countries had a humid climate. One year ago, I moved to Texas and my skin, especially my face started having a crisis. I have a combination skin (oily T zone/ the rest is normal) and I started getting a lot of pimples on my face and I started developing new allergies in this dry and dusty state. I went to a dermatologist and he said my skin is not immune to this climate and that's why it is happening. He prescribed me antibiotics, 7.0% benzoyl peroxide acne wash and adapalene 3.0% topical retinoid gel. I used only the gel and it made my face worse which was normal because of purging phase of it but I knew that I didn't want to use it forever and wanted to find a natural alternative. I also had an auto immune disease 10 years ago called Vasculitis and survived from it so this is the summary of my background. Since I have a lot of free time in summer, I started looking for the beneficial natural things for acne prone skins in dry climates and I found manuka honey. Some people eat it for their health issues and some people apply it on scars, cuts and other problematic skin areas. I made a little research because there are many which claim that they are medical manuka honey. This is UMF certified honey and if you want to confirm it, you can google it and find the list of UMF certified honey brands and their license numbers in NZ. I wrote to Comvita's official website's customer service and asked if I could purchase their products through Amazon because I was living in the US and if I ever experienced something unexpected, I would return it easily. They said they are selling their honey through Amazon in the US so I can definitely do that. If I was not a student, I would definitely buy the 20+ one because my biggest concern, for now, is not internal but external. It does come like 6 oz. in an 8 oz. jar but after seeing what it has been doing to my face, it is not even a concern. 15+ tastes great! I usually buy raw organic unrefined honey from a natural grocery store and they definitely don't taste the same. This is denser and you can definitely taste the quality. If you have a serious stomach or any other internal problem, eat one TBspoon a day. If you want to stay healthy, eat one Teaspoon a day because it is strong and yummy! I started applying this on my face as a mask after cleansing and toning my face after the shower. I used it 3 days and kept it 30 mins each night. I didn't see much difference but when I started leaving it over night, I had amazing results. After I started using this honey as an overnight mask, I quit using the adapalene/differin retinoid. It is definitely not easy and comfortable to sleep with it but it is WORTH IT! I had a huge cystic pimple growing around my chin area again and I felt so down that day. Then I read some stories about the people who were applying honey as an overnight mask when they have problems. This is my second day and there is nothing growing on my face and all of my blemishes seems to be fading! I can't believe how painful that pimple was only 2 days ago and now I can barely find its spot on my face. Buy this if you have similar problems to these or buy this and eat it to stay healthy and away from the medicine as much as you can. You pay for the quality and you'll have this body only once!

Very old stock, expiring in 6 months time. The packaging was bad with faded color. Looks like the item has been in the shelf for a very long time. The honey texture was bad, very dark color with crystallized sugar. I bought the same brand from iHerb and they are different. The one bought from iHerb was nice with distinct of Manuka taste. The one bought from Amazon has no manuka taste. Looks like a spoilt product.
