KFactor 12 vs KFactor 16: What's the Difference?

As Natural Health Wholesale Ltd, we're proud to be the UK's exclusive Wedderspoon distributor, and the two questions we get asked most are what KFactor actually measures, and which strength to choose.

What KFactor measures

KFactor rates the proportion of genuine Mānuka pollen in the honey, a real marker of purity, not marketing shorthand. Wedderspoon's KFactor honey is produced without heat treatment, so its natural enzymes stay intact.

KFactor 12: everyday strength

A minimum of 65% Mānuka pollen, milder in flavour, and a friendlier price. A genuinely good introduction if you're new to Mānuka honey. Shop KFactor 12

KFactor 16: high strength

A minimum of 75% Mānuka pollen, our most concentrated grade, with the most distinctive flavour. Shop KFactor 16

Which one's right for you?

Honestly, it comes down to preference and budget. Either way, you're getting genuine, independently tested Wedderspoon Mānuka honey.
