Active Manuka Honey

Nature’s Sweet Superfood
Made by some of the world’s healthiest bees*, Capilano Active Manuka honey is naturally rich in Methylglyoxal (MGO). The higher the MGO, the more potent the honey’s activity.

Delicious Taste

Australia produces some of the most potent, best tasting Manuka honey in the world due to our warm climate and diverse number of Leptospermum (Manuka) varieties. Capilano’s premium, bioactive Manuka honey has a rich, smooth, caramel taste.

Boost your Daily Health Routine
Squeeze the bioactive goodness of Capilano Active Manuka honey into your daily cup of tea, coffee, smoothies, yoghurt or cereal, or simply enjoy by the spoonful.
