By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD Scientists show how Manuka and Ohia Lehua honey differ in their antioxidant potential, showing that while Manuka honey boasts higher phenolic content, Ohia Lehua honey excels in reducing oxidative stress and promoting antioxidant defenses.

The article from MSN discusses a study comparing Manuka honey from New Zealand with Ohia Lehua honey from Hawaii, focusing on their antioxidant properties and health benefits. The research, published in the journal "Antioxidants," found that while both honeys possess significant antioxidant capabilities, they differ in their specific antioxidant profiles. Manuka honey is well-known for its antibacterial properties, particularly due to the presence of methylglyoxal (MGO), but the study highlighted that Ohia Lehua honey contains unique antioxidants like flavonoids and phenolic acids, which contribute to its health benefits. These differences suggest that each type of honey could offer distinct health advantages, with Ohia Lehua potentially providing benefits in areas like cardiovascular health due to its antioxidant composition. The study underscores the importance of understanding the unique properties of different honeys to better utilize them for health purposes.
