Nature has the most pleasant and healthy surprises in store for us.
Apart from nutritional preparations, there are other natural supplements that also provide extra energy for sports activities or for our lives in general: ginseng, brewer's yeast, wheat germ, soy lecithin, pollen, royal jelly, etc.
Among natural supplements, one of the most common is honey . Although there are many different types of honey, one of them stands out above the rest thanks to its antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-infectious properties: it is Manuka honey .
Discovered over 4,000 years ago, Manuka honey is obtained by pollinating the nectar of the Manuka tree (Leptospermum-scoparium), better known as the Tea Tree, native to New Zealand. It contains vitamins A, C, D, B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6, as well as various minerals and trace elements such as phosphorus, calcium and iron.
But what makes this honey more special is a natural substance called Methylglyoxal (MGO) , which is found in high concentrations in the nectar of its flowers. This substance, unlike hydrogen peroxide, is not neutralized by intestinal enzymes and hence its great effectiveness. Thanks to it, it will help us more effectively fight against all kinds of bacteria responsible for stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers and gastritis.
In addition to the protection it provides against bacteria, Manuka honey also has other positive effects such as treating skin conditions, eczema, burns, acne or fungal infections. It is also able to repair damaged skin and regenerate its growth, as well as increase our energy and boost our immune system naturally.
In short, its many beneficial properties make it one of the most precious elements in nature.
