Can't be the real stuff.
UMF15+ in NZ is over $100 per 250g jar!

You'd be expecting a meaningful improvement in your health at that price or perhaps its the mysterious elixir of youth! I suspect a large part of the benefit is actually the belief / positive psychological wellbeing effect that comes from taking these things. Whatever makes you feel happy can actually lead to more wellbeing :)
The placebo effect is a proven scientific fact so same with manuka honey.
One thing I can say from heresy from those who are prepared to pay big bucks for for the high UMF manuka honey is that it is excellent for sore throats, cough and stomach ulcers. So there you go!
Great catch Peat!
Guess those Pike River Coal, NZOG and Snakk (to name 3) posters who thought everything I said was heresy are yet to change their view? :D
Was at a health shop yesterday in Queen St (Shortland St to be exact) and it had GoHealth Manuka honey on special - buy 1, and second one half price. Discounting getting very obvious now.
Most likely in anticipation of a tightening up of the definition of manuka honey by MPI which is due in a matter of weeks. This clearing up of the definition will be of great benefit to Comvita in my personal view, but will have many in the apiary industry sweating.
As previously disclosed I am a Comvita employee but am not speaking on their behalf and am not declaring anything that is not already available to the market
Do they tell their bees not to visit clover, pohutukawa, rata, kamahi etc flowers
