Dr Weil recommends Active UMF 20+ Manuka Honey. Does anyone know if this is the same or similar? Tx

This is similar to UMF10+ honey. MGO 400 (methylglyoxal) is equivalent to NPA 12.9 (non-peroxide activity) which would be rated UMF10+ if this was a licensed UMF honey. There's an online conversion calculator for UMF/NPA to MGO ratings at: http://www.umf.org.nz/umf-trademark/methylglyoxal-npa-honey-conversion-calculator To get an MGO honey equivalent to UMF20+ you'd need an MGO rating over 800.

Yes, it is. But this type of honey has been recommended by many celebrities. I tried it and got back my energy. It's like taking vitamins in a cup of tea.

UMF is an independent industry standard. MGO is specific to one company. This website says that MGO 400 is equivalent to UMF 20+ http://www.manukahoneybenefit.com/umf/

This is similar to something close to 13+ or 14+ Manuka Honey. Per the UMF grading system found here (http://www.umf.org.nz/grading-system), UMF 20+ would have greater than or equal to 829 mg/kg. 10+UMF has greater than 263 mg/kg and 15+ has 514 mg/kg, so this product by Manuka Health is equivalent to somewhere between UMF 10+ and UMF 15+

Yes this is! This honey is the best for any kind of infections, internal, external! Kills MRSA.

It will be different results for everyone though. I recommend taking Fenugreek as well. Brewers yeast can help too.

The UMF rating system was developed to measure the activity level of Manuka Honeys. The UMF rating actually tests the antibacterial performance of a honey and compares it to phenol, a disinfectant. This means that a UMF rating of 20+ is equivalent in strength to a 20% solution of phenol. All Manuka Honey that has a UMF rating of more than 10 is highly active honey and therefore known as Active Manuka Honey. The ideal UMF rating varies depending on your purpose, but laboratory studies have shown that manuka honey with a non-peroxide activity level of UMF12 to UMF15 is effective against a wide range of very resistant bacteria. Hope this answer helps it comes from the Aliveplus honey website. Hope this answers your questions.

I've only tried the menthol so far, and only the Honeyrose. I will be trying more, but for now this is it. Sorry.

Correct, UMF means "Unique Manuka Factor" meaning it contains Methylglyoxal which is the unique internationally medicinal factor of this unique honey, which are tested by labs and packaging in New Zealand ONLY. Active + is an old designation and is not a guarantee that it has this unique compound in it. No wonder this is cheaper than a lot of other manuka honeys! Some people buying it may be lucky and gotten it from a batch that DOES have it in it, so it worked, but as a general standrad, I would definitely stick to UMF honey rating as the only NZ Government and University of Dresden, Germany recognized standard of quality Correct, UMF means "Unique Manuka Factor" meaning it contains Methylglyoxal which is the unique internationally medicinal factor of this unique honey, which are tested by labs and packaging in New Zealand ONLY.

Not sure on the exact date, but they were not expired and I took one a day and used them all before they expired, but honesty if you're looking for a product for vaginal health only I'd get RePhresh because it contains the 2 specific strands of helpful bacteria for combating BV, Lacto Reuteri and Lacto Rhombus, I've done a lot of research on this, Ultimate Flora only contains one, Lacto Rhombus (and a bunch others not specific for vaginal health) and take 2 RePhresh a day, and get an additional supplement if you want to balance yeast, Lacto acidophilus, no sense paying for strains you don't specifically need that's what I've found out, these 3 strains help with digestion as well, hope this was helpful good luck!

Sounds like the same one that I am using. I really do like it. The label says Ageless and it has Aloe and Lavender oil in it.

I found Organo Gold Cafe Supreme more on the McCafe for taste comparatively; definitely enjoyed it. I like the Gourmet Black more for the effect, you know Organo Gold has some positive herbal effects; of course everyone may experience it differently. I keep coming back for more.

Sweetjami, I presume your referring to Nature Made Multi For Her 50+. I purchased the tablets which I have no problem with, but it sounds as though you do,so the soft gels would be a better solution for you. Hope this helped you. It's a great vitamin.

I totally agree with the previous comment listed below and would like to add- although it is 100% pure honey- it is for topical use only. A fine product.

Ugh, come on guys, she asked about hair and skin, not how great it tastes; I'm sure we all know that by now!Kate: I actually only use this for my face-it's not so sweet and I only use this in my tea if I run out of my trader joes raw organic honey. For my face it is fantastic! I'm allergic to everything so this has become my cleanser, face wash, and moisturizer all in one (though I do use various oils afterwards on my face) but its fantastic for whole body, softening, making less sensitive, calming, etc. I think you'll def enjoy it! I have not tried on my hair yet but others I know love it in washes! Hope it helps!V.

Absolutely, I only order the 20% by mistake. I only buy 100% pure oils and dilute when needed with a carrier oil. Eden's Garden is a really reliable source of essential oils, they sell some on Amazon, but I buy from their website too. another superior source of oils is Mountain Rose Herbs who don't sell on Amazon. I hope this helps. Was there anything particular you wanted Frankincense for? Good luck I hope this helps.

vitacost or swanson might have a lower price, sam, but stick with the kal brand for the best flavor, its great on macaroni, popcorn, baked potatoes...the braggs nutrional yeast tastes terrible...if you have more questions you may go to my group here's the link.....https://www.facebook.com/groups/761373067206525/ or my community page about health food.....https://www.facebook.com/pages/How-to-start-eating-vegan-low-glycemic-Community/812757378745164

The brand was recommended by People's Rx in Austin. It is the best they had given my problems and is vegan. Here is their web site http://www.metagenics.com/products/product-lines/ultraflora I do not use this product any more. In fact, I switched to Dr. Mercola who does have vegan probiotics at a much higher potency and lower price, which has helped me.

Please take this as my opinion, and not a scientifically derived conclusion. Ultra Active seems to be processed more than Pro. I'm not sure that is a good thing. I've used PRO EMU OIL; and as long as you use it sparingly it is wonderful stuff. A little goes a long way. It absorbs quickly, heals skin irritations with amazing speed - overnight for me. The part to get used to is that one or two drops goes a long way.

Active ingredient is menthol USP 4%. Too many inactive ingred. to list. But this does work well. Try it, and I think you will like it. Google it for the ingredients and you can get them that way.

Thank you. I guess I should have specified that I wanted the Ubiquinol 200mg or 300mg. It is currently only made by one company Kaneka http://www.kanekaqh.com/faqs.html
