| All types of honey have some anti-bacterial properties derived from a natural hydrogen peroxide value. During the honey making process, an enzyme called glucose oxidase is added by bees to nectar gathered from flowers. When honey comes into contact with moisture in the body, this enzyme releases natural hydrogen peroxide at sufficient levels that will kill certain bacteria, without harming the body tissue.
The Total Activity Rating of Active Honey indicates the strength of the antibacterial potency of the honey, measured by the standard (phenol) bacteria-killing scale, as developed by Dr. Nolan at the Waikato Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato.
So, to experience the amazing health benefits of honey take a spoon of honey when you need to go the extra mile...
