Side by Side Comparison of: Wedderspoon vs Manuka Health

Been using this for the last year with my yogurt and fruit in the morning. I enjoy the taste but it is distinct. It is supposed to have added health impacts. I feel it does help regulate digestion some.

This stuff is awesome for healing a variety of issues. It's antibacterial and healing properties are great! Can't say enough about it.

This honey. Where to begin? It is AMAZING. I have given this to my friends with the bacteria H. Pylori, acid reflux, and stomach discomfort. Each and every one of them loves it and swears by it. Is it expensive ? Oh goodness, yes. Does it work? A resounding YES. Is it worth it? 100% YES! This product is so good, and the taste is so delicious, it is simply worth every single penny. It has a color of liquid gold, smells somewhat minty, and is extremely viscous. This honey is only found in the top hills of New Zealand where the manuka plant grows, and the huge bees that fly up at that elevation, giving a world renown quality and flavor that is so unique, I promise you, you will not regret trying this out. As a longtime Amazon customer, I rely on reviews from the Amazon community when making buying decisions. That being said, I only believe in giving honest and unbiased reviews.

Excellent product for healing pressure sores. (The only thing we've found to do better is a friend's recipe for a homemade herbal salve.) A little pricey, but well worth the money. Best price we found was Amazon.

I use this as a mask and it is absolutely amazing! I apply is directly to my face (sometimes with a little cinnamon) and leave it on for about 30 minutes then rinse off. The redness on my skin and pimples have diminished and my skin feels great. Honey has natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties which are exactly want people with acne need.

The honey has a wonderful taste - rich, creamy and strong, excellent with tea or pancakes (although it feels a bit of a sacrilege to be using it this way). We also use it very successfully to help heal small skin injuries common in a household containing a 5-year old; a small amount of this honey works wonders on cold sores, nose and lip irritations caused by a runny nose, small scratches and such and does not raise any complaints from the patient because it does not sting and tastes good if one happens to lick it off.

I have had a low grade sinus infection for years. I was never given an RX that lasted for more than 10 days. It was only treated with an obvious flare. Not with trace bleeding with seasonal allergy drainage. I began use of this honey on a daily basis and the sight of daily blood in my mucus declined over several months time. Autumn allergy season is here and I have clear mucus not trace of blood for the first time in years. I feel better and no more halitosis. Now I use it because it taste great.

I don't know about it's healing properties ,but this taste so yummy I have a hard time not slathering everything with it. Silky smooth spread .I don't like crystalized manuka ,or honey for that matter this one doesn't have the UMF ,not really quite sure what the studies are with that ,on the safe side I did purchase another with the UMF ,but this one is so yummy I have to keep it .

I used a high powered lotion for a skin infection; no luck. Manuka honey has almost entirely cleared it up. It works!

This product literally saved my life from mrsa that had not improved with four rounds of antibiotics and being severely sick for three solid months! Thank you so much!!!!!

Great product for anyone seeking a natural boost to their health care regimen. It's thicker than traditional honey but that's due to the pollen content. It tastes great and personally, I like it much better than traditional honey. Traditional honey leaves a sugary residue on my teeth. This item doesn't do that.

My husband was recently diagnosed with MRSA, which appeared as a blister/boil on his forearm. Doctors lanced it, drained it, and put him on the proper antibiotic, but it left a deep, open wound on his arm. I mean deep, like it seemed large enough to stick your thumb in! I didn't really know much about MRSA before all this, but I've read everything I could since then. I kept seeing Manuka honey praised for it's healing properties, as well as the fact that it seemed to kill MRSA. Those that had used it, swore by it. Well, now I do too!!! We started applying the honey in my husbands wound on a Friday afternoon. I did this in addition to using Hibiclens. I gloved, cleaned the wound, re-applied the honey, changed the bandages each day. By Monday (3 DAYS!), the wound was almost closed - no kidding! I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. This is one product that I will keep on hand from now on! As an aside - The sad part for me is that the doctors didn't seem overly concerned - kept telling us "MRSA is everywhere now, you can catch it anywhere" .When we would ask about chance of recurrence, or spreading it it others in our household, they basically said, yes, it might happen, might not. They were not being aggressive enough in my opinion in helping us prevent this. No one ever told us about de-colonizing ourselves. In my reading, I saw that the people with the most success in beating this back for good used a combination of Hibiclens wash to shower in for 10 days, disinfecting all towels, bedding, surfaces in home, and of course, the Manuka honey for wound treatment. There is also research that shows the MRSA like to colonize in the nose, so during this same time, you should also apply Bactroban in the nasal cavities each day for up to a month. This is also something that the doctors didn't tell us, or offer. When I asked about getting a prescription, he actually said, "Yes, we could do that to de-colonize the nases"! I mean, if they KNOW this will help prevent the spread and possible re-occurrence, why should I have had to ask about it at all? I swear, I am not a "conspiracy" type person, but it almost made me wonder if they are not all being so lax about this epidemic because of the incomes generated? I am sure, once all is said and done, my husband's insurance will have paid about $3000 for his treatment and follow up visits, as well as the $90 in co-pays we have paid already. What's their motive for trying to prevent this from happening again or from giving it to someone else? Take control of your own treatment plans, be aggressive in treating, and learn all you can about what you're facing. You are your family's best advocate. Good luck!

Love this stuff. We buy it for ourselves and others of our family and acquaintance.

LOVE Manuka honey!! This came same day as ordered. We used it when we were hit with the flu and it went to work immediately. Remember to use a plastic spoon when using Manuka or any other raw honey products as the metal can inhibit the enzymes. Will keep this in stock.

It is good honey. Not sure about the healing abilities, but feel good using it. I deduct a star due to price.

Purchased for acne - which did not work, although it made my skin incredibly soft. Gave that up after a few months of using nightly and am now eating it on sourdough which is much better tasting than your regular honey.

It works so well, I use it for everything from minor burns and cuts, stomachaches, etc.Con: Price has gone up so much since I started buying these(I remember it was around $25 for the same size) but that's probably because of the limited supply with such high demand, it obviously works and more people are discovering its effectiveness.

I purchased this for my son who is going through chemo and radiation. With the loss of taste and mouth sores, its medicinal properties seems to be helping him. It was delivered promptly although it was not packed a securely as I would have preferred, it arrived without damage.

This was exactly what was expected. The taste was delicious the levels of concerns ration were very high quality and potent and the source is trusted.

Great stuff. I love it, wish it was in glass and not plastic.

so glad I discovered this wonderful product. This honey does amazing things to my face, it makes my skin so smooth and lighten up my stubborn acne scars. My only complain is the price for such a little bottle. I think I might have to find an alternative.

This has helped me with soothing my throat , and with my cough from Gerd / LPR , also feels good in stomach .

I was very skeptical about using this honey, but after doing hours of research, I finally decided to purchase this.I use this honey as part of a saline nose rinse for my sinus infections. I use about 1 teaspoon honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup water. I use a nose plunger and rinse my nose one time per day for a week and it helps SOOOO much! I love that I'm not having to use antibiotics to get rid of my sinus infections anymore. It really helps. Thank you so much!

i've tried several different type of Manuka honey and this is the best so far. I cut myself on some barb wire hunting one weekend and had two identical cuts both were nasty red after the weekend so i tested one with a regular antibac bandage and a bandage with the honey. Drastically dif in just two days the honey one had no redness and the other was still pretty pink.

Rather small for the price but quality is of the essence when it comes to certain things

different taste than the umf 20's. not gonna repeat because there's just too many other manuka honey's on the market to try.

Tastes great but smells horrible. Mixes well with tea. Didn't notice any overall health benefits.

Each time I bought this honey, it's in different form and sealing mouth. Sometimes it's thick, sometimes it's thin. Sometimes it's sealing mouth has a pull mouth, sometimes it has not. I seriously doubt it's a fake product.

I got this for my husband because he was having throat issues and a friend said Manuka Honey was just what he needed. While it is soothing (like all honey), it is far too expensive to continue long-term use. Great product for the short term.

Honey has good flavor, we'll have to wait and see about the long term affects of using it.HOWEVER, the price is way high, I found a Manuka honey locally for $25.00, same size bottle. So I would recommend that you check out stores like Sprouts before buying this on-line...... just saying

I bought this honey for the medicinal qualities. It does not taste like regular honey. In fact, I think it has a rather medicinal taste with a little sweetness added. Could just be my tastebuds, my mom liked it. I'm not sure if it is working yet, but I am feeling nauseous off and on. I hope that this is due to the killing of the bad bacteria in my intestinal track.If it works then it is worth the high price. Otherwise, too expensive to buy just for sweeting tea.

I never received any benefits from this. The taste is not so good either and it is way too expensive for my pocketbook for such a small amount.

I tried it for health reasons and have to say that as a honey, I've never had worst tasting honey. And for health reasons, I tried it for two months and noticed no improvement in any area, if anything my allergies were somewhat worse. Possibly because I was substituting this for local raw honey comb.Seriously over priced for the non-benefit I saw, but perhaps it helps others.

3 stars for product, 1 star for price. Seriously no noticeable health benefits, just a slightly odd tasting honey that I paid way too much money for.l

Wouldn't purchase this product again. Very expensive...could have bought this product at a local health food store for less money without the hassle of waiting for deliver

I have a lot of health issues and I was hoping that adding to my extensive alternative care regimen would help support a higher quality of life. I added one spoon a day to my morning ooling tea, sometimes in the evening as well in a herbal tea until the full jar was gone with little to no noticeable results. The taste was good, I at least enjoyed it, less sweet than normal honey, switching back was slightly noticeable, but I will just stick to raw organic local honey.

this was purchased to help with my son's acne, but did not work as we had heard/thought!

I ordered this without any knowledge about the Manuka honey. After doing some researches, I really don't believe this is the real manuka honey, or at least 100% manuka honey. There's no such rating as Kfactor in Manuka honey except for the wedderspoon brand, and Wedderspoon is also not certified with UMF Honey association which you can find here(...)Just make sure you do some research before placing your order to make sure you're buying the real Manuka honey.

Seal was broke on one of the two I ordered, it's very cloudy in color not sure if its old or what , doesn't taste very good at all - not sure what its suppose to look and taste like so I can't give a fair reviewApart from the seal was lifted up

This product was not particularly helpful in resolving H. Pylori. It did not make symptoms worse, and it provided a modest benefit when taken before meals. The same result probably could have been accomplished by consuming a cracker or other small item of food.

There needs to be more transparency, consistency and governmental oversight in the marketing of manuka honey and its potency claims across the board. Unfortunately, this includes one of the most popular and well-reviewed brands on Amazon.Note that the "Active 16+" label is not an indication of its UMF, MGO, or non-peroxide activity (NPA). It is unclear what is "active" here, or how this compares to other types of honey. How to explain the recent study in the UK finding that there was no detectable NPA in this honey - so how to distinguish this from other honeys?In short, I have questions about the nature of the product, given recent and ongoing media attention to the misleading advertising claims made and perpetuated by many manuka honey manufacturers. What distinguishes this product from table honey, and by what order of magnitude? I don't see any reason to pay inflated amounts to a multimillion dollar industry that does little to accurately and responsibly inform consumers, while profiteering from confusion and lack of industry regulation and governmental oversight of what constitutes "active manuka honey".Regarding the contents in the jar, it's cloudy, dark and tastes strongly sweet, with a slight grainy texture.

I was very excited about trying this product for a variety of uses after all the reviews. As timing would have it I had a small wound the size of a pea that looked like it was starting to get infected at the time I received the honey. Initially I had cold feet using the honey, so I first used peroxide followed with epsom salt soaks the first day and it was improving. I than spent several hours reading more reviews and doing more researching on this honey and I learned this particular brand was not authenticated by UMF . That concerned me, but with all the reviews on this particular product I wasn't seeing anything "bad" for some it did nothing, and many said it did wonders for their wounds and amazed doctors on quickness of healing with minimal scars for wounds much worse than mine so I decided to give it a try thinking worse it would do is nothing. I put a thin layer on the wound and the area surrounding my wound and covered it with a 4x4 inch sterile pad and taped pad down to prevent leaking of honey. After 4 hours I took it off and panicked as the entire 4x4 inch area was blistered and enflamed and the wound was worsened. I washed the honey off and went back to my epsom salt soaks followed with bacitracin ointment and sterile pad. Now another day later the rash/blisters are improving, but it is still worse than before the use of this honey. I am not sure if I am just one of the rare people that are allergic to Manuka Honey or if the product is poor quality and not real Manuka and thus I had a reaction. I don't know if its worth it to me to spend another $40+ dollars on a UMF verified Manuka Honey and risk another reaction to find out? My advice to someone wanting to try Manuka Honey is to buy UMF verified honey and than do a test patch on non wounded area of skin to make sure there is no reaction before putting it on an already wounded area and potentially worsening a wound along with a reaction like I did.

Well, dont care for the flavor, and its waaaay over priced,wont buy again!

Was not effective for Morgellons lesions so I was disappointed. Understandable though since Morgellons is a systemic infection which involves altered protein expression by skin cells.

Tastes like medicine.

This honey is very expensive for what it is: good tasting honey. I did not see any healing properties in it after eating $200 worth of it. I got 2 very bad colds while I was eating it (the first one 2 weeks into it) and my GERD did not change at all.

dr oz says to try it for heartburn but it does not work. was hoping to get off meds and it is bitter.

I had a root infection in my tooth that was giving me a lot of pain. I had seen this product on the Dr. Oz Show, so I thought I would try it. I did visit a dentist web site that claimed Manuka honey worked for root infections if you buy the 15+ rated type. This product is 20+ rated, so I thought it would be fine. I took one teaspoon of the honey three times a day until the jar was empty. Nothing happened. There was no decrease in pain and no cure. I ended up going to my dentist, who prescribed an antibiotic (which I was trying to avoid by taking something natural), and my root infection is now cured. I gave this product two stars because it does taste good.

A total waste of money. I'm sticking to raw local honey.

After reading all the posts, I had high hopes that this would help with my health issues. I took like suggested by other members, and even applied on my skin but no improvement.This did have kind of a funny taste, so maybe it was just a bad batch of this particular honey.I may try another brand and see if I notice any other improvement.I'll wait out the rest of this jar and update if things change.

Not sure if it works. But it's not 17 0z. I would never pay 35.00 for 4oz of honey.

Terrible reaction. Extreme burning to the point I could not tolerate & had to wash product from wounds.

Unfortunately, after performing thorough research I have come to find that Wedderspoon does not distribute genuine Manuka honey. I really wanted to love this product.

I'm not sure what I am going to do now. I received this honey today and immediately noticed the outer pink and black paper seal was no longer intact, next, I noticed the plastic seal around the bottle had also been unsealed, and lastly, the paper seal on top of the honey itself had been peeled off and was laying on the mouth of the jar!! I immediately went online to the seller's website, and discovered the item is not returnable. I sent a note to the seller as surely whomever packaged this most certainly realized the seal was broken, and since this is a nonreturnable item, I can only guess this item was tampered with by ????. Wow. Utterly unacceptable!!!!

I received a jar that expired 6 months later than delivery time.I purchased this honey for his immune system improvement, not to be eaten at breakfast!this products lasts four years...needless to say, it went to waste

Wanted to believe the honey would work in healing the lesions on my leg. Alas it was not to be. At least it hasn't made it worse!

Prodouct simply did not work to relieve pain in knee. Thought I ordered Ray Manuka Honey but am not sure. Well, at least I tried.

ordered this honey because of great reviews but gave me stomach pain after taking Manuka Health MGO 400+ Manuka Honey (20+),...

I think this seller (SportingDoc) sold me a fake product. I bought one bottle of 400+ in December 2015, it tastes good, so I placed another order for 10 bottles of the same product (fedex# 9611019383239501363318) as a gift to my friends in my country.It turns out a complete difference in quality: the color of the condense liquid is lighter, taste like manuka 30+, and I have no idea how all 10 bottles could have the same barcode and serial number. It's not funny at all, giving fake products to my friends in the national holidays.I can't believe such thing could happen on Amazon !!! I'll never buy this again, and will be more cautious buying stuff on amazon.

Buyer beware I have asthma and this is suppose to be good for it but both times I used it I had to use my inhaler shortly afterwards. Not for me and it is not returnable. Not saying all people will have trouble maybe some can use this without the ill effects. I have eaten honey both raw and pasteurized all my life without any problems. I will be sticking to honey from local area or at least in USA.
