As Mānuka Honey is considered an animal product people following a vegan diet tend to avoid honey. But it is enjoyed by many vegetarians. Mānuka Oil and Mānuka Infused products are directly derived from the Mānuka Tree so are vegan friendly. See vegan friendly products here.

Hydrogen peroxide gives most honey its antibiotic quality. But some types, including Mānuka honey, also have unique antibacterial qualities.

One of the major antibacterial components of Mānuka honey is a compound called methylglyoxal (MGO). MGO comes from the conversion of another compound in Mānuka honey known as dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a high concentration of which is found in the nectar of Mānuka flowers.

The higher the concentration of MGO, the stronger the antibacterial effect.
