Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose UMF 15+ over lower grades?

UMF 15+ contains significantly higher concentrations of methylglyoxal (MGO 514+) than lower grades. Most clinical studies supporting Manuka honey's therapeutic effects on gut health, H. pylori, wound healing, and throat infection used grades of UMF 10–20+. UMF 15+ sits in the therapeutic range used in research — making it the preferred choice for targeted health applications.

Can Manuka honey help with H. pylori?

Laboratory research shows Manuka honey's high-MGO formulations inhibit H. pylori (the bacteria associated with stomach ulcers and gastric cancer) in vitro. While clinical evidence in humans is more limited, UMF 15+ Manuka honey is widely used as a complementary approach to gut health alongside conventional H. pylori treatment. Consult your doctor for any diagnosed gut condition.

Is UMF 15+ Manuka honey good for sore throats?

Yes. High-MGO Manuka honey has potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties when applied to the throat mucosa. Taking a teaspoon of UMF 15+ honey and allowing it to coat the throat slowly (without water after) provides prolonged contact time with the throat tissues. This is particularly popular for sore throats, tonsillitis, and throat infections.

How much UMF 15+ Manuka should I take daily?

For general wellness and immune support: 1–2 teaspoons daily. For active therapeutic use (gut health, sore throat): up to 3–4 teaspoons spread throughout the day — typically before meals for gut benefits and at bedtime for throat comfort. Manuka honey is a food and can be taken in moderate amounts as needed.

What is the difference between MGO and UMF grading?

MGO measures only methylglyoxal (the key antibacterial compound). UMF tests three markers — MGO, leptosperin (uniquely from Manuka flowers), and DHA — providing broader authentication of genuine Manuka origin. UMF 15+ = approximately MGO 514+. Both systems are used; UMF certification is the gold standard for full authentication.
