Manuka Health MGO™ Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey, unique to New Zealand, has incredible and reliable health-giving properties and can be used as a natural remedy to assist with an array of health conditions. Manuka Honey works against a wide range of bacteria including the causes of stomach ulcers, sore throats and wound infections. This honey has also proven to be effective in helping the natural healing of skin ulcers, burns, boils, cracked skin and even the "superbug" MRSA.  The Manuka bush is covered in white flowers for four weeks of the year during mid summer and the slopes of both mountains and valleys are covered.  During these four weeks bees are extremely busy gathering the honey from the Manuka flower.  Methylglyoxal forms naturally in the Manuka plant nectar ready for collection by the bees. As well as being great tasting all our honey is measured using a simple and clear measuring system called MGO^TM.

MGO™ 250+ Manuka Honey plus Aloe Vera

Manuka Health's MGO™250+ Manuka & ACTIValoe™ Gel is a unique and exclusive combination of two natural, evidence-based ingredients you can trust. This formula is designed to maintain your digestive health.  The concentration of ACTIValoe™ Gel in one 250g pot of the product is equivalent to 1 LITRE of Premium Aloe Vera juice and has an unlimited shelf life with no preservatives.

Certified Organic Aloe Vera gel (by USDA and EU) + Certified by IASC (International Aloe Vera Science Council) MGO™250+ Manuka Honey has been tested and certified to have a high level of Dietary Methylglyoxal (250mg/kg) - a compound in Manuka Honey responsible for its remakable properties

Methylglyoxal - the active anti-bacterial compound in Manuka Honey

MGO™ Manuka Honey is labelled based on the minimum Methylglyoxal content (mg/kg) it contains. Methylglyoxal is the active compound directly responsible for the antibacterial activity of any Manuka honey and the MGO™ rating clearly indicates the minimum level of this compound in each jar.  No other system of measurement gives such a clear and simple indication.  The higher the Methylglyoxal content of MGO™ Manuka Honey, the stronger the antibacterial activity. For instance MGO™ 250+ has 2 1/2 times more antibacteiral content than MGO™ 100+.

A quick comparison of MGO™ Manuka Honey products in relation to the older (non-peroxide activity NPA) system follows:

MGO™ 100+ is the minimum level required as an effective health product.  MGO™ 30+ is also available - equicalent to NPA 5+
