Digestive Care, Stomach Ulcers, Dyspepsia

Laboratory Studies
In laboratory tests the UMF antibacterial property present in UMF Manuka Honey has been found to inhibit, in vitro, the growth of the bacteria helicobacter pylori.
Helicobacter Pylori is believed to cause most stomach ulcers, dyspepsia and peptic ulcers.

The peroxide antibacterial activity of other honeys (including ordinary manuka honey) was found not to be effective against helicobacter pylori.

Studies are also showing that the good bacteria in the stomach are not affected by the UMF property.

Anecdotal Testimonies
Anecdotal testimonies from people in many parts of the world who have used SummerGlow UMF16+ Manuka Honey for stomach ulcers and gastric problems have been very positive.
Many people have reported feeling better after having SummerGlow UMF16+ Manuka Honey.
Some people also found that a very high UMF level (such as UMF16+) is much more effective than lower UMF levels which just meet the UMF standard or manuka honey which does not have UMF.

How to Have SummerGlow UMF16+ Manuka Honey For Digestive Health.

  • Try having a teaspoon to a tablespoon of the honey three to four times a day, ideally one hour before meals and again at bedtime.
  • Try to have nothing to drink immediately after having the honey so as not to dilute the honey.
  • Having the honey on bread, toast or cracker biscuit holds the honey in the stomach for as long as possible.
  • Many people have experienced good results if they have the honey straight from the teaspoon.
  • It is pure honey so it does not interfere with regular medications.
  • Adjust the amount and frequency to suit your own needs. Most people have a generous amount of the honey initially, then reduce it as they feel warranted.
  • A little discomfort was experienced by a few for a very short period.

SummerGlow UMF16+ Manuka Honey is 100% pure honey so it is safe to have as much as desired and as often as wished (except for diabetics).
