Airborne Health honeys
ACTIVE AAH (Antibacterial Antioxidant Honey) is an extensively researched
and proven antibacterial and antioxidant factor in honey. Only Airborne Health
Manuka, Honeydew and Thyme contain ACTIVE AAH. They use New Zealand honeys
specially selected to be high in antibacterial activity, antioxidants and
oligosaccharides. 
Airborne Health are the best health honeys because they are high in:
Antibacterial
activity
Honeys high in antibacterial activity have been proven to improve wound healing,
and can help to improve your health. Airborne Health Manuka, Honeydew and
Thyme have up to 173% more antibacterial activity than New Zealand Clover
honey. As every case differs, please check with your health professional before
using these honeys for medical conditions.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants deactivate free-radicals, which are caused by air, sunlight and
pollution. They have been medically recognised as the cause of degenerative
skin diseases, such as wrinkles and skin discolouration and can damage cells
and harm the immune system. Eating foods high in antioxidants can help limit
these negative effects.
Oligosaccharides
Oligosaccharides are a Prebiotic (food for a Probiotic) which helps
maintain and increase the number of ‘good’ bacteria in the digestive
system and reduce the amount of ‘bad’ bacteria (particularly beneficial
after taking antibiotics). They also increase absorption of calcium and magnesium,
and help eliminate toxins.
Scientifically
proven
Extensive research was undertaken by Dr Geoffrey Savage, Associate Professor
of Food Biochemistry at Lincoln University, on antibacterial and antioxidant
activity (ACTIVE AAH) in New Zealand honeys. He is a world-renowned food biochemist
and one of New Zealand’s leading authorities on the health benefits of
antioxidants in food. Dr Savage and his team found that:
Airborne Manuka, Honeydew
and Thyme contained extremely high, naturally occurring
levels of antibacterial activity and antioxidants – far more than any
other honey varietals.
Airborne Honeydew also contained oligosaccharides, which improve gut health.
Testing
ACTIVE AAH honeys are unique because they are the only health honeys that
are rigorously tested by for their AAH properties by reliable scientific methods.
Every jar also contains a pollen count, which indicates how much pollen is in the honey. Airborne Health contains the maximum amount of pollen in each jar, ensuring it contains only the best quality active honey available.
Usage
Because there are no worrying active ingredients in Airborne AAH honeys, it
is safe to consume in the same quantities as normal honey.
Health
tips
Try eating Honeydew with yoghourt. The oligosaccharides in Honeydew provide
food for the good bacteria in the yoghourt (acidophilus and bifidus), ensuring
that the yoghourt delivers maximum health benefits.
