The Science Behind

Nature's Most Powerful Honey

More than a decade of scientific research has demonstrated that Ulmo honey exhibits the highest antibacterial properties, surpassing even those of Manuka honey¹. Ulmo honey was tested against a strong UMF 25+ Manuka honey and the Ulmo honey showed similar or stronger antibacterial properties against five strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) E. coli and P. aeruginosa².

Ulmo honey also has a higher total polyphenol count compared to other honeys including sesame, rosemary, orange, chestnut, blackberry, honeydew, and more than double the phenolic content of Manuka Honey. This is due to the naturally occurring flavonoid and phenol compounds, found in the Ulmo flower’s nectar³.

Bioactive Ingredients

Polyphenols and flavonoids are both a powerful class of molecules that are known for their antioxidant, anti inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties⁴.
These include phenols such as gallic and caffeic acids and flavonoids like querectin, rutin and more. All health promoting molecules that are supported by scientific evidence⁵.
Antioxidants protect our cells from the harmful action of reactive oxygen molecules called free radicals, preventing excessive oxidative stress that can cause inflammation and disease.

For instance, studies have shown that gallic acid possesses antimicrobial, anticancer, and antiviral properties, while rutin (also known as vitamin P), chrysin, and pinocembrin, all found in Ulmo Honey, exhibit anti-inflammatory, antiasthmatic, antitumor, and antimicrobial effects².

Something Sweet to Feel Great About!

Raw honey leaves pollen and propolis, packed with essential nutrients, including trace vitamins and minerals and bioactive enzymes, making it a superior choice over any sweetener.
Use it as your daily energy and health booster, pre workout, sweetener of choice for your favorite beverages, as a topping for just about anything, or simply a spoonful straight from the jar.

Our Ulmo Honey is a unique and natural superfood, we recommend a spoonful a day on an empty stomach for better absorption.
