Comvita UMF® 10+ Manuka Honey is produced in New Zealand and contains unique plant phenols. Comvita UMF® 10+ Manuka Honey is guaranteed to be at least UMF® 10+ and has been verified by an independent testing laboratory.
New Zealand Manuka has long been valued for its health-maintaining effects and active Manuka Honey is gaining worldwide recognition for its unique properties. Comvita is the world’s largest manufacturer of premium quality UMF® Manuka Honey.
Only some Manuka Honey has the special UMF® activity. UMF® stands for ‘Unique Manuka Factor’, a measure of the unique type of antibacterial activity which is naturally present at varying levels in honey made from the nectar of the Manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium) , native to New Zealand.
The mark UMF® is followed by a number that indicates the strength of the UMF® activity in a batch of UMF® Manuka Honey. The higher the UMF® rating, the more potent the product. For example, a jar of UMF® 20+ Manuka Honey has twice the antibacterial activity of UMF® 10+ Manuka Honey.
