Key Markers for Authentication and Quality
The key markers for authenticating and verifying the quality of Manuka honey primarily focus on specific chemical compounds and certifications.
- UMF™ (Unique Manuka Factor): This widely recognized certification independently tests and guarantees the presence and concentration of three key chemical markers authenticating Manuka honey’s uniqueness and potency.
- MGO (Methylglyoxal): MGO is the main antibacterial compound in Manuka honey and is quantified to indicate potency. The MGO content can vary (e.g., 696+ or 829+ mg/kg), and it directly relates to therapeutic strength.
- Leptosperin: This natural chemical marker found only in authentic Manuka honey, helps verify its botanical origin.
- DHA (Dihydroxyacetone): Present in the nectar of Manuka flowers and a precursor to MGO; its ratio to MGO is also measured.
- Third-Party Laboratory Testing: Authentic Manuka honey is often tested by independent labs for purity, absence of contaminants like glyphosate and antibiotics, and to confirm non-GMO status.
- Additional Certifications: Many authentic Manuka honeys carry certifications such as Halal, Kosher, Non-GMO Project Verified, and gluten-free, adding layers of quality assurance.
MGO Levels and Quality
Higher MGO levels in Manuka honey indicate a greater concentration of the compound MGO, but the right MGO level depends on each person. Lab tests on our Manuka honey are conducted by independent, accredited labs to ensure objectivity and trust. We test our Manuka honey to maintain its natural variations in color, thickness, and taste.
Natural Source of Antioxidants and Nutrients
Lab-tested Manuka honey provides a natural source of antioxidants, nutrients that support immune wellness, and prebiotics that aid in maintaining digestive balance. Lab results verify the MGO level listed on each jar, confirming the strength and concentration of compounds like MGO.
Caution and Usage
While Manuka honey supports overall wellness through its naturally occurring nutrients, it should not be used as a treatment remedy for any condition or illness. Always consult a healthcare professional before making changes to your diet or treatment regimen.
In summary, the key markers to look for in lab authentication and quality verification of Manuka honey are UMF certification, MGO level, leptosperin, and DHA content, alongside third-party physical and chemical purity tests. The UMF certification is currently the most comprehensive and authoritative standard because it guarantees the presence of the three primary markers distinctive to Manuka honey.
