"We show here that, in general, the manuka honeys were the most effective at inhibiting growth"
"Thus the extended duration of lag phase is presumed to be largely or completely due to MGO and is likely to be unique to honey derived from manuka and other Leptospermum species."
"MGO at 600 mg/kg honey achieves almost as much inhibition as much higher concentrations, and increasing MGO above this threshold may not result in a more effective honey"
MGO Level UMF/NPA Grade
≥83 mg/kg. equals UMF5+
≥263 mg/kg equals UMF 10+
≥514 mg/kg. equals UMF 15+
≥573 mg/kg. equals UMF 16+
≥696 mg/kg equals UMF 18+
≥829 mg/kg equals UMF 20+
≥83 mg/kg. equals UMF5+
≥263 mg/kg equals UMF 10+
≥514 mg/kg. equals UMF 15+
≥573 mg/kg. equals UMF 16+
≥696 mg/kg equals UMF 18+
≥829 mg/kg equals UMF 20+
It is important to recognize that science has shown that Mãnuka grades above UMF 20+ may not be more effective, medically, then Manuka grades between UMF 15+ and UMF 20+
