The authentic Manuka honey stands out for its MGO content and its origin, as Manuka comes exclusively from New Zealand.

What is the difference between Monofloral and Multifloral Manuka?

Monofloral Manuka comes entirely or mainly from the plant Leptospermum scoparium, compared to Multifloral Manuka, which is a blend of various plant sources with a significant amount from the Manuka plant. Monofloral Manuka honey is considered superior as it contains higher levels of two chemical compounds from the plant and represents the purest form of Manuka honey, gathering more health benefits.

What distinguishes Manuka honey from other honeys?

Manuka honey is considered superior to other honey varieties due to methylglyoxal or MGO, a natural chemical compound found only in the nectar of the Manuka plant that gives it antimicrobial properties. This active antimicrobial component is not present in all Manuka honeys, but only in those that are of very high quality.

MGO Activity Indicator

The MGO mark is an accurate global standard for measuring the unique reliable antibacterial activity contained in Manuka honey. The higher the MGO rating, the stronger its antibacterial action.

• Manuka honey with MGO 400 is certified to contain at least 400mg/kg methylglyoxal.
• The minimum required for health benefits is 100mg/kg.
