Mānuka honey MGO vs UMFᵀᴹ
No one knows mānuka honey like Comvita. We’ve been perfecting Mānuka Honey since 1974, and we’re the only mānuka brand to offer a Triple Test Guarantee.
As a member of UMFHA (the Unique Mānuka Factor Honey Association), we comply with the UMF™ standard to ensure the authenticity, quality and purity of our mānuka honey.

The Triple Test Guargantee
Not all Mānuka Honey is created equal. At Comvita, our mānuka comes with a Triple Test Guarantee, ensuring the origin and efficacy of our honey in three distinct ways.
3 Reasons You Can Trust Comvita Mānuka Honey
1. Natural MGO
Our mānuka honey only contains naturally occurring MGO, tested for by the presence of the naturally occurring compound Leptosperin, found in mānuka nectar. The presence of Leptosperin ensures that the MGO is from a natural mānuka source.
The more MGO in your mānuka honey, the more Leptosperin you’ll see, indicating that it’s genuine mānuka with a natural MGO source.

2. Verified MGO Levels
Comvita Mānuka Honey is independently tested by the UMFHA standard to show that it contains verified MGO levels.
MGO levels indicate the level of antibacterial activity in the honey.

3. MGO Maintained for Shelf Life
Our Mānuka Honey is also tested for DHA (dihydroxyacetone) - the compound that eventually turns into MGO.
MGO naturally decreases in mānuka honey over time, but we draw on extensive scientific research and use vigorous testing to guarantee that the MGO level (and subsequently the antibacterial properties) of Comvita mānuka honey stays the same or above what’s on the label for the honey’s entire shelf life.
