This certificate (Sample ID 2240523) shows a UMF grade of 24.5, which signals a high-grade manuka product with strong signature markers. The independent test by Hill Laboratories in New Zealand reports MGO at 1,159 mg/kg — MGO (methylglyoxal) is the compound most commonly used to indicate antibacterial potency, so a value above 500 positions this batch toward uses where higher antibacterial activity is preferred (such as gut-supportive wellness, immunity-focused routines, beauty and skin care, or wound care contexts). Leptosperin is measured at 810 mg/kg, confirming the botanical origin and authenticity of the manuka. DHA, the natural precursor that converts into MGO over time, is not listed on this certificate but is often checked in other reports to understand how MGO may develop. Overall, this is a premium, high-potency batch from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited — a great choice if you want authentic, high-grade manuka with proven lab-backed markers.
In short: UMF 24.5, MGO 1,159 mg/kg, Leptosperin 810 mg/kg — a lab-tested, high-strength manuka from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (Hill Laboratories, New Zealand).
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.
