This Mānuka honey (Sample ID 21208) is independently tested by Hill Laboratories in New Zealand for New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd and shows a UMF grade of 21.8 — a UMF rating that represents the honey’s unique Mānuka signature and overall potency. The lab result lists Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 956 mg/kg, which is the commonly used indicator of antibacterial activity in Mānuka honey, and Leptosperin at 640 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps confirm this is genuine Mānuka. DHA is not listed on this certificate; conceptually, DHA is the precursor that can convert to MGO as honey matures, so a missing DHA value simply means that particular measure wasn’t reported here. With an MGO well above 500 mg/kg, this is a higher-strength Mānuka suited to uses where stronger natural activity is valued — think targeted beauty and skincare treatments, wound-care style topical uses in first-aid routines, or as part of a wellness regimen for immunity and digestive support — while still being excellent for mindful daily use. New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd and Hill Laboratories provide trusted, traceable testing to back the quality of this batch.
In short: A high-strength, rigorously tested Mānuka (UMF 21.8, MGO 956 mg/kg, Leptosperin 640 mg/kg) from New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd, verified by Hill Laboratories — a premium choice for higher-strength uses.
This certification confirms the authenticity and quality of your Mānuka honey purchase.

Mānuka Honey FAQ
Why is this honey so expensive?
It’s harvested in remote areas of New Zealand and undergoes rigorous independent testing for quality, purity, and potency — all of which adds cost. Rarity and global demand also play a role.
The colour of my honey looks different. Why?
Colour can vary naturally by batch and region. It doesn’t indicate strength or efficacy; a high-MGO honey can be light, and a lower-MGO honey can be dark and visa-versa.
My honey is too hard/runny. What’s wrong?
Temperature affects viscosity. To soften, leave it somewhere warm. To firm, chill in the fridge briefly.
This Mānuka Honey tastes bitter — is it off?
High-grade Mānuka can taste bold or slightly bitter due to potent bioactive compounds. Honey doesn’t spoil in the usual sense; gentle warming can reverse crystallisation.
How is Mānuka honey different from regular honey?
Mānuka contains higher levels of methylglyoxal (MGO) and carries a UMF™ rating based on independent lab tests of key markers.

New Zealand Honey Co. is committed to complete transparency. Sourced from hives across New Zealand’s rugged, untouched landscapes, the honey is UMF™ certified, fully traceable back to the hive, and free from GMOs, glyphosate residue, antibiotics, or additives.
The company follows a simple principle: nature is best preserved in its purest form.
