Frequently Asked Questions

What does UMF 5+ mean?

UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) is the quality grading system for authentic New Zealand Manuka honey. UMF 5+ means the honey meets the minimum threshold for UMF certification, providing a verified level of the three key Manuka markers: methylglyoxal (MGO), leptosperin, and DHA. It is the entry-level UMF grade suitable for everyday use.

What is the difference between UMF and MGO ratings?

UMF and MGO are two different grading systems for Manuka honey potency. MGO measures only methylglyoxal content (the primary antibacterial compound). UMF measures three markers (MGO, leptosperin, DHA) and is considered the more comprehensive quality standard. UMF 5+ corresponds approximately to MGO 83+.

How should I take Manuka honey for wellness?

Take 1–2 teaspoons daily — straight from the spoon, dissolved in warm (not hot) water, or on toast. Avoid mixing with boiling water as heat degrades the active MGO and enzymes. For throat and digestive use, take on an empty stomach and allow it to coat the throat before swallowing.

Is UMF 5+ Manuka honey suitable for children?

Manuka honey is suitable for children over 12 months of age. Do not give honey of any kind to infants under 12 months due to the risk of infant botulism. For children over 12 months, Manuka honey at UMF 5+ is safe and a gentle everyday option.

How do I know Manuka Hunters honey is genuine?

Manuka Hunters honey carries UMF certification from the UMF Honey Association of New Zealand — the independent body that tests and verifies all three required markers (MGO, leptosperin, DHA) to confirm authenticity. The UMF number on the label is a guarantee of verified quality.
