Do not give honey to infants under one year of age, as it can cause a serious illness called botulism.
Manuka honey is a type of honey produced by bees that feed on the Manuka plant that is native to New Zealand and parts of Australia. Manuka honey is popular due to its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It is a sought-after ingredient for a variety of health and wellness purposes, including wound healing, skincare, soothing sore throats and general wellness. Decades of scientific research have confirmed its health properties.
UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) is a quality grading system and trademark for authentic New Zealand manuka honey. The UMF grading system measures four unique signature compounds:-
- MGO (Methylglyoxal): A natural compound that gives it potent antibacterial properties. A higher MGO rating means a higher concentration of methylglyoxal, and stronger antibacterial activity.
- DHA (Dihydroxyacetone): A compound that converts to MGO over time, indicating potential future MGO levels.
- Leptosperin: A unique compound which provides absolute assurance of authenticity and stability over time.
- HMF (Hydroxymethylfurfural): A natural compound that indicates the freshness of the honey.
The UMF mark guarantees that the honey is genuine manuka honey from New Zealand. The rating system ranges from UMF 5+ to UMF 25+, with higher grades being more potent and more expensive.
- UMF 5+ to UMF 9+: Certified Authentic, suitable for daily consumption.
- UMF 10+ to UMF 15+: Premium Grade, good for general family use or therapeutic applications.
- UMF 15+ to UMF 20+: Ultra Premium Grade, with increased potency for skin therapy or immune support.
- UMF 20+ to UMF 25+: Superior Antibacterial Grade, recommended for wound and skin care.
