Posted by Manuka honey is renowned for its health-promoting properties, with well-documented medicinal uses. When combined with α-cyclodextrin it forms a specialized formulation for humans known as Manuka Honey with CycloPower™[1]. The addition of cyclodextrin helps overcome the limited effectiveness of Manuka honey caused by rapid digestion and the degradation of key bioactive compounds such as methylglyoxal.
A veterinary version has recently been launched in Japan under the name MANU-KAMU. Marketed as the world’s first dog toothpaste to feature two active ingredients for periodontal care—Manuka honey and cyclodextrin (though the manufacturer hasn’t revealed which type)—this innovative product takes canine dental hygiene to a new level. Methylglyoxal is included to support the growth of beneficial bacteria and help maintain a healthy microbial balance in the mouth. Cyclodextrin, apart from stabilizing methylglyoxal, traps leftover food particles, effectively cleaning the oral cavity. And best of all? By simply chewing it, dogs can enjoy an effortless and thorough oral care experience..
