DID YOU KNOW?

Manuka honey is one of the most researched honeys in the world.

Manuka honey contains unique compounds – most notably methylglyoxal (MGO), derived from dihydroxyacetone (DHA) – that have been widely studied for their potential health benefits. Research shows MGO is responsible for Manuka’s potent antibacterial activity, supporting its use in wound healing, skin care, and immune health 1, 2, 3.

Founded in Melbourne, Australia, 149 years ago, Barnes Naturals began with a simple mission: to bring wellness to people through the power of nature’s original superfood — honey. With a legacy of craftsmanship and quality passed down through generations, Barnes Naturals remains committed to sourcing the finest ingredients from nature to create products that inspire health and wellbeing.

Authentic New Zealand Manuka honey

New Zealand is arguably the most well-known region for Manuka honey, famed for its lush forests of Leptospermum scoparium, the single species from which all New Zealand Manuka honey is derived. This honey is celebrated for its exceptional quality, with a distinctively stronger, medicinal flavour that reflects its natural potency.

All Barnes Naturals Manuka honey is independently tested at The University of the Sunshine Coast to guarantee its Methylglyoxal (MGO) content, the key natural active compound responsible for the unique properties of Manuka honey. Higher MGO values reflect increased activity levels.
