Frequently Asked Questions

Who should choose UMF 20+ over lower grades?

UMF 20+ is chosen by people seeking maximum Manuka potency for specific therapeutic purposes — those using Manuka honey for wound care (cuts, burns, diabetic foot wounds), active gut health conditions (H. pylori, IBS, gastritis), severe sore throats or tonsillitis, or as a high-potency immune support during illness. It is also the preferred grade for Manuka honey enthusiasts seeking the best quality.

Is UMF 20+ Manuka honey safe to eat daily?

Yes. Despite its high potency, UMF 20+ Manuka honey is a food and safe for regular daily consumption for most people. It has a high sugar content — those managing blood sugar should monitor intake as they would with any honey. 1–2 teaspoons daily is a typical maintenance dose at this grade.

Can I use UMF 20+ Manuka honey on wounds?

Yes. High-potency Manuka honey is widely used in wound care — its high MGO content provides potent antibacterial activity against wound pathogens (including MRSA). It can be applied to minor cuts, burns, and ulcers covered with a sterile dressing. Medical-grade Manuka honey products (Medihoney) are used in clinical settings; consumer-grade UMF 20+ honey can be used for minor wound self-care. Seek medical attention for serious wounds.

Is UMF 20+ worth the premium price over UMF 10+ or 15+?

For general daily wellness, UMF 10+ is sufficient and more economical. UMF 20+ is worth the premium when maximum therapeutic potency is specifically required — for targeted wound care, active infection support, or significant gut health conditions. The higher MGO provides meaningfully stronger antibacterial action.

How do I know MGO 830 is genuine Manuka?

Manuka Hunters carries UMF certification from the UMF Honey Association of New Zealand, which tests all three authentication markers (MGO, leptosperin, DHA). The leptosperin and DHA markers are unique to genuine New Zealand Manuka honey — their presence confirms authenticity of Manuka origin, not just MGO level.
