What is Total Activity?
What is Total Activity?
Total Activity (TA) is the measurement of the honey's antimicrobial quality or its antimicrobial strength in killing bacteria. Any honey with a TA rating higher than 10+ has beneficial antimicrobial properties. The larger the TA number, the stronger the antimicrobial effect level of the honey. We get most of our honey tested for its Total Activity by the NATA registered Chem Centre of Western Australia, Intertek, and Analytica Laboratories.
Rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and phenolic acids, honey has natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. A time-tested remedy for all kinds of ailments, studies have shown that honey may help to lower blood pressure, improve heart function and prevent the death of healthy cells.
As our honey is not heated or pasteurised, the active ingredients remain more effective than in processed honey.
