Oregan Active Manuka Honey contains naturally occurring activity, making it one of the most sought-after honey in the world. Oregan Active Manuka Honey’s unique antibacterial activity is due to several factors: -Osmotic Effect – Bacteria do not have enough water to form because Manuka honey combines its sugar & components with water and bonds strongly together, leaving bacteria without a sufficient water source necessary for growth. -Acidity Component – Manuka Honey has an acidity level of pH 3.2-4.5. Bacterial growth occurs between pH 7.2-7.4. -Hydrogen Peroxide – When Manuka Honey comes in contact with the sodium present on the surface of the skin, a chemical reaction occurs, producing low levels of hydrogen peroxide which destroys infectious bacteria. -Phytochemical Component – The Unique Manuka Activity reacts together and enhances the other antibacterial factors and works synergistically to destroy infectious bacteria.
