The UMF® rating ensures authenticity as well as potency. The gold star for Mānuka honey grading systems, UMF® measures MGO levels along with two other unique signature markers, Leptosperin and DHA, both naturally occurring compounds found in the nectar of the Mānuka flower.
UMF® stands for Unique Mānuka Factor, a reference to methylglyoxal and its distinctive antimicrobial activity.
UMF® certification is a definitive guarantee of purity, potency, and New Zealand sourcing.
