What is UMF® in Mānuka Honey?
The UMF® (Unique Mānuka Factor) is an official product grading system for New Zealand honey. This rating assures consumers that their honey is pure and unadulterated.
Certified UMF® Mānuka honey products must meet the strict UMF® Honey Association and standards of the NZ Government. The system appraises key biological markers found only in UMF® Mānuka honey. These key markers verify the honey's quality and purity and that it has been produced and packed in New Zealand.
What is UMF® 15+ Mānuka Honey?
UMF® 15+ honey is graded based on the combined levels of the key signature markers Leptosperin, Methylglyoxal (MGO) and DHA. Mānuka honey UMF® 15+ contains the exact nutritional information as lower UMF®-rated products, but it has a higher potency.
What does UMF® 15+ mean?
UMF® 15+ means the MGO content is 515mg/kg. The higher the honey UMF® grade, the greater the presence of MGO. This means NZ Mānuka honey UMF® 15+ has a higher potency than other lower-rated UMF® honey products
What level of Mānuka Honey is best?
The UMF® honey rating you select depends on your purpose. Choose a lower honey UMF® grade of 5+ or 10+ as a sweetener. Supplement your diet with Mānuka honey for well-being. Treat minor infections and burns with Mānuka honey UMF® 18+ or 20+. The higher-rated products contain the greatest potency of all New Zealand Mānuka honey products.
