Manuka honey is not suitable for everyone, especially children. I usually only feed my kids with the normal australian honey. Adults benefit quite a lot from manuka honey though. my favourite deal site is having an offer (http://tinyurl.com/75wtzpu), but i already have two similar honey bottles at home, cannot finish.. heheh!

Dear Gladychan and others,


Can someone advise: is 11 year old child too young to take Manuka honey ( I usually add a squeeze of lemon too) for sore throat etc?

What’s the caution?

UMF stands for Unique Manuka Factor, the antibacterial factor in Active Manuka Honey that is responsible for naturally destroying bacteria such as staph (staph aureus), strep (streptococcus) and H. Pylori (Helicobacter Pylori). Only Active Manuka Honey contains UMF. That makes Active Manuka Honey the only honey shown to kill H. Pylori.


The UMF is like antibacterials.

it is not advisable for young kids to take is bcos they are building up their immune- system.

Multivit that contains Omega 3 and 6, Bcomplex and Vit C would be better options.

Omega 3 and 6 is for brain development
Bcomplex is for energy release
Vit C is for immunity and antioxidants.

Hope this helps.

It is unsuitable for young kids? I thought most parents here are giving manuka to their kids?

struggling: sorry for the late reply, i think 11 years old shld be old enough to consume manuka honey.

Anywhere to get manuka at a reasonable price. The shops are selling like $100/kg for manuka.

Thanks for reply Gladys. Btw, are you in the health/medical field of sorts, or do you have any research data to back up any if this?

Just curious....

Thanks again
Cheers
