Test Certificates for Total Activity(TA)

Each batch of honey is lab tested and certified for its total antimicrobial rating or Total Activity (TA). At Koora, we always ensure that the actual TA of the honey exceeds that on the Koora Shield on your honey jar label.

Verify your KOORA honey’s certified Total Antimicrobial Activity (TA) rating:

1. Look out for the Koora Shield on the front of our label - TA shows the Total Antimicrobial Activity of the honey.  TA+ means the Total Activity that exceeds that which is stated.
2. To find the actual TA of your honey, go to the batch number on the left side of the jar - they should match the number on the test certificates. 

What Sets Koora Honey Apart

What sets KOORA’s Jarrah and Marri honeys apart are their exceptionally high bioactivity/antimicrobial levels. Scientific research shows Jarrah and Marri honeys possess:

  1. 90% greater antimicrobial potency than average Manuka honey, and
  2. up to 3 times the antioxidant content.
  3. Prebiotic goodness that helps maintain balanced and healthy gut microbiome.

That makes our Jarrah with a Total Activity (TA) of 35+ unmatched by Manuka or any other honey for immunity and wellness benefits!

Another huge benefit is both our Jarrah and Marri honey's antimicrobial potency is NOT derived from methylglyoxal (MGO), the active ingredient in Manuka honey, as research has shown "It is undeniable that MGO accumulation has harmful effects on vascular function, by inducing insulin-resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative disease and diabetic microvascular complications.”

Both Jarrah and Marri Honeys are non-MGO based honeys but peroxide based honeys, which means it derives its antimicrobial potency from hydrogen peroxide, not from MGO.

Overall, Koora Honey offers way better value than Manuka honey for the following:

  • Koora honey’s antimicrobial activity is measured by Total Activity (TA) not UMF or MGO, as its antimicrobial activity is not from methylglyoxal (MGO).
  • The highest rated Manuka honey is UMF33 (Equivalent to TA 33), which sells for a hefty $2100! The price of UMF28 (Equiv to TA 28) Manuka honey on Amazon is $298 for 8.8 oz!
  • KOORA honey is much better value and eclipses Manuka honey’s antimicrobial, antioxidant and prebiotic properties.
  • And it tastes deliciously smoother, never bitter or unpleasantly medicinal or grainy like Manuka!
