The UMF” rating ensures authenticity as well as potency. The gold star for Manuka 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 Manuka flower. UMF® stands for Unique Mänuka Factor, a reference to methylglyoxal and its distinctive antimicrobial activity. UMF® certification is a definitive guarantee of purity, potency, and New Zealand sourcing. The MGO rating tells you how much methylglyoxal is in the honey. The higher the number, the higher the antibacterial activity.

Methylglyoxal (MGO) is the “secret ingredient” of Mānuka honey—a naturally occurring active compound that gives Mānuka superior antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. The higher the MGO, the greater potency of these properties. The Mānuka honey used in our lozenges has been independently tested and certified as 525+ MGO—the highest potency available for maximum health benefits.
