This batch (Sample ID 2150323) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has been independently tested by Hills Lab in New Zealand and shows a UMF grade of 15.3, MGO (methylglyoxal) at 534 mg/kg and leptosperin at 410 mg/kg. UMF is the recognised grading that reflects manuka’s distinctive potency and quality, while MGO is the measured compound most closely associated with manuka’s antibacterial rating — higher MGO means a stronger antibacterial profile. DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the natural precursor that converts into MGO in the plant, is also an important part of how these levels develop (no DHA value is shown on this certificate). The leptosperin result is a botanical marker that supports the honey’s authenticity as genuine manuka. With an MGO above 500 and a UMF in the mid-teens, this is a higher-strength manuka that shoppers often choose for immunity-support routines, gut-health supplements, beauty and advanced skincare formulations, and topical uses where a higher antibacterial rating is preferred. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited continue to deliver reliably tested, traceable manuka honey.

In short: UMF 15.3, MGO 534 mg/kg and leptosperin 410 mg/kg — a genuine, higher-strength manuka from Hills Lab (New Zealand), ideal for shoppers seeking a robust, multi-purpose manuka honey.
