When nectar from the rare flower of New Zealand's Manuka tree is foraged by honeybees, they create special honey with proven wound healing, gut and immune health benefits. Bees are the only living beings that turn Manuka's 2000 bioactive compounds into honey we can enjoy and heal with. They heal us so we must protect their environment in return. Restoring nature's power For five decades, Comvita has been on an extraordinary journey, pioneering the cultivation, research and regeneration of the world's most powerful honey, and empowering individuals to unlock the key to natural well-being. We have planted over 8 million trees and saved over 40 million bees to strengthen natural ecosystems that provide healing to us, and your support is a fundamental part of our effort. Each batch of Comvita UMF™ Manuka honey undergoes a rigorous process of more than 34 quality tests, ensuring the utmost quality and potency. Our commitment to authenticity, purity, and potency is unwavering, as we implement a rigorous "hive-to-home" testing program, ensuring that every Comvita product meets the highest standards. When you buy Comvita UMF™ Manuka honey, you are guarenteed quality. The Four Factor Quality Testing UMF™ means more than simply MGO. The goal is to ensure that you're able to easily choose the right Manuka product for your needs, which is why the UMF™ standard is the only one that tests for the four key elements of Manuka honey: • Potency, • Authenticity • Shelf Life • Freshness Methylglyoxal (MGO) is the source of Manuka honey's special antibacterial properties and an important potency measure. The higher the MGO number, the stronger the concentration of MGO. The UMF™ guarantee means that you can be sure that Manuka honey bearing the UMF™ mark contains the special bioactive compounds. Leptosperin is a compound found only in New Zealand Manuka flower nectar and can only be created by nature. Measuring this unique component ensures the authenticity of Manuka honey. Laboratory research also shows Leptosperin content has anti-inflammatory properties that grow as the UMF™ scale increases Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is slowly converted to MGO in healthy living honey. The higher the DHA content, the longer the life of the MGO content in your Manuka honey - which is why Manuka honey must have more than 70 mg/kg DHA to be UMF™ certified. We test for Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), since this compound assures that the honey has not been overheated or stored too long, and is in the best condition to maintain the unique blend of living properties in Manuka honey as promised.
