According to New Zealand government standards, for a honey to be labeled 'monofloral Manuka', it must be derived predominantly from the nectar of the Manuka bush. Certified Manuka Lab honey meets these stringent criteria, assuring its monofloral status and potent, unique properties.

Manuka honey contains significantly higher levels of methylglyoxal (MGO) compared to most other types of honey, which is a key contributor to its potent antibacterial activity. This unique chemical composition is what sets Manuka honey apart and accounts for its renowned medicinal properties.

Produced by bees from the nectar of the Manuka flower in New Zealand, this honey is not all created equal. This is precisely why there are different grades of Manuka honey, reflecting the varying levels of potent antibacterial compounds within each batch.
