Comvita Manuka Honey is sourced from New Zealand's remote, pollution free native forests and is world renowned for its high antibacterial activity. Comvita Manuka Honey is tested to ensure an antibacterial activity greater than standard antiseptic (4% carbolic equivalent)

UMF® (Unique Manuka Factor) represents bacterial killing power unique to Manuka honey and was first identified by Dr Peter Molan at the University of Waikato. All Manuka honey has antibacterial properties, including an enzyme which when diluted produces hydrogen peroxide, but Manuka honey with a UMF® rating has extra ability to fight bacteria. This ability varies and Comvita uses an independent laboratory to verify the UMF® strength of our products. Only honeys with a UMF® rating higher than 10 can use the UMF® trademark.
