This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd is a high-strength Mānuka honey certified UMF 24.2 — the UMF grade is an independent quality mark that reflects the unique, non-peroxide activity associated with genuine Mānuka. The laboratory results from Hill Laboratories (New Zealand) show an Methylglyoxal (MGO) level of 1138 mg/kg, an indicator of the honey’s heightened antibacterial activity; the Leptosperin result of 1040 mg/kg confirms the botanical origin as true Mānuka. DHA (the natural precursor that can convert into MGO as honey matures) is not listed on this certificate, but it’s commonly measured to track how potency may develop over time. Tested sample ID 21209 was independently analysed in New Zealand, and the UMF licencee, New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd, is a recognised supplier with a strong track record for quality and traceability. With MGO well above 500 mg/kg, this honey is ideally suited for uses where higher-strength Mānuka is preferred — think targeted beauty and skincare routines, supportive everyday wellness, and other applications where stronger antibacterial properties are valued.

In short: UMF 24.2 Mānuka (MGO 1138, Leptosperin 1040) — a premium, high-strength New Zealand honey from a trusted licencee, independently tested by Hill Laboratories.
