About UMF™ & MGO

UMF™ stands for ‘Unique Mānuka Factor.’ When you see that honey has a UMF™ trademark, you can be certain you are holding genuine New Zealand Mānuka honey. The UMF™ rating system independently certifies natural components found in mānuka honey to assure potency, purity, authenticity, & freshness. For more visit www.umf.org.nz 

MGO stands for methylglyoxal, the naturally occurring compound that makes Mānuka honey so unique. An MGO rating is a standardized measure of methyglyoxal content and is an indicator of quality.

Higher UMF™ and MGO values, offer more potent Mānuka antioxidant properties. And Certified Organic is the most natural and finest quality Mānuka honey on the market, offering the greatest health benefits. 

Mānuka Benefits

The use of Mānuka honey dates back at least 1000 years, when it was traditionally used by Māori for a variety of medicinal purposes. It was believed to aid in coughs, colds, digestion, immune system support, and for treating burns and wounds. Today, Mānuka honey is recognized worldwide for its anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory healing properties. It is also rich in antioxidants and can help protect the body from free radical damage.

Enjoy this natural superfood in smoothies and tea, drizzled on food or straight from a spoon. It can also be used for skin care, wound and burn treatment and exercise recovery.
