UMF™ 5+ is Comvita's most versatile grade of Manuka honey. With UMF™ 5+ it's easy to get Manuka goodness into your day to support everyday wellness. Slightly milder flavour than its higher grade UMF™ counterparts, which makes it ideal for naturally sweetening teas, tonics, smoothies and your favourite raw recipes.

Recommended grade for snacking; a spoonful makes for a great natural pre-work out energy boost. Each batch of Comvita Manuka honey undergoes a rigorous process of more than 34 quality tests, ensuring the utmost quality and potency.

Comvita's commitment to authenticity, purity, and potency is unwavering, as we implement a rigorous “hive-to-home” testing program, ensuring that every Comvita product meets the highest standards.

Why UMF™ for your Manuka honey?
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is the source of Manuka honey’s special antibacterial properties and an important potency measure. The higher the MGO number, the stronger the concentration of MGO. The UMF™ guarantee means that you can be sure that Manuka honey bearing the UMF™ mark contains the special bioactive compounds.

Leptosperin is a compound found only in New Zealand Manuka flower nectar and can only be created by nature. Measuring this unique component ensures the authenticity of Manuka honey. Laboratory research also shows Leptosperin content has anti-inflammatory properties that grow as the UMF™ scale increases.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is slowly converted to MGO in healthy living honey. The higher the DHA content, the longer the life of the MGO content in your Manuka honey – which is why Manuka honey must have more than 70 mg/kg DHA to be UMF™ certified.

Comvita test for Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), since this compound assures honey has not been overheated or stored too long, and is in the best condition to maintain the unique blend of living properties in Manuka honey as promised.

When you buy Comvita Manuka honey, you can be assured of the quality.
