Health Mel® Manuka Honey is the perfect product.
Natural with Unique Antibacterial properties,
wrapped in the clean imagery of New Zealand.
Health Mel® uses the MGO (Methylglyoxal) ratings to identify the activity level in our Manuka Honeys through independent testing. MGO is the all important bioactive chemical that directly relates to the antibacterial activity in Manuka honey. The approximate relationship between the MGO concentration and the NPA (Non Peroxide Activity) antibacterial strength rating of Manuka honey is explained in the table below along with the UMF rating – which includes other factors.
200+ 8+ 8+
300+ 11+ 11+
350+ 12+ 12+
500+ 15+ 15+
650+ 17+ 17+
800+ 20+ 20+
1000+ 22+ 22+
* MGO is measured as mg/kg (ppm)
** NPA is measured as % solution (%w/v) of phenol/water

In New Zealand we understand there is a deep kinship between humans and the natural world. This connection is expressed through kaitiakitanga – acknowledgement of the quality and vitality of the environment. For Health Mel® this means being respectful to the land where bee hives are placed, and toward the traditional owners of that land.
