Manuka Honey Science.
Unique to New Zealand, MGO™ Manuka Honey is the only 100% natural food in the world shown to have EFFECTIVE and RELIABLE anti bacterial activity due to the active compound – Dietary Methylglyoxal (MGO™) which forms naturally in the manuka plant.
So far MGO™ Manuka Honey has been the only food in the world with such a significant Dietary Methylglyoxal content ranging from 20mg/kg to over 800mg/kg. In contrast all other honeys worldwide tested have ranged between 0-10mg/kg.
Manuka Health measures methylglyoxal content based on standards developed by University of Dresden. For example, this container of MGO™100 contains at least 100mg/kg of dietary Methylglyoxal. The higher the MGO™ Manuka honey rating the higher the level of anti-bacterial activity in the honey.
MGO™ Table
| MGO™ | Nutritional Benefit |
| 30 | Lower levels of activity for nutrition
|
| 100 | Medium level activity for general well-being
|
| 250 | Antibacterial activity found
|
| 400 | High MGO activity for digestive usefulness
|
| 550 | Superior MGO activity for topical application |
“Manuka honey should be one of the few food items for which a health-promoting property beyond the basic nutritional function can be clearly documented. Health claims require significant scientific consensus, and I think from a scientific point of view, the data concerning the methylglyoxal-induced antimicrobial properties of Manuka honey are very promising to fulfill the requirements” Professor Thomas Henle.
MGO™ Manuka honey is suitable for everyday use and can be used as a long-term maintenance dose. It can be taken by eating or application to the skin surface. You will find it has a wonderful taste all of its own and can be enjoyed the same as any other natural honey.
