Manuka Health MGO 250+ Manuka Honey 250 g, 100 Percent Pure New Zealand Manuka Honey with Methylglyoxal

Product Information

When researchers analysed six types of honey, they found that manuka contained the highest levels of antioxidant activity. These batches of Monofloral Manuka Honey come from remote regions, such as South Taranaki where we are based, and are of the most premium quality. Our premium quality Manuka Honey includes MGO 829+. At Healthy and Natural World, our mission is to empower people to take control of their own health by providing comprehensive, practical and well researched information. Because of Manuka honey’s powerful antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, it is excellent as a topical treatment for damaged skin and is one of the recommended treatments for minor burns.

Monofloral Manuka Honey means that it comes solely from the nectar of the Manuka, resulting in a higher MGO rating and more potent health benefits. For Manuka Honey to be classed as Monofloral, the honey must meet a high level of natural markers and a pollen test. See our MGO rated Manuka Honey One common factor in these gastric problems is the Clostridium difficile ( C. diff), bacteria. However, an interesting study published in 2013 showed that Manuka honey is effective at treating infections caused by C. diff bacteria 9. 7. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) At this point it is worth noting that some honey is sold as Manuka honey, but only contains a little amount of MG. So, make sure when you buy Manuka honey that it has the UMF trademark on it with the UMF factor. Also, to be classed as Manuka honey, it has to come from New Zealand. What is MGO?To learn more about Manuka honey, read about our “Campaign For Real Manuka” https://www.rowsehoney.co.uk/manuka/ Because Manuka honey is an effective antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory topical treatment for skin problems, it is also excellent for treating shingles.

Many of Manuka’s healthful attributes are thought to relate to its major antibacterial component, methylglyoxal (MGO). Even though MGO is found in most types of honey, it’s usually in much smaller quantities. In manuka honey, MGO comes from the conversion of a compound called dihydroxyacetone, which is found in high concentration in manuka flowers. The higher the concentration of MGO, the stronger the antibiotic effect. ‘Researchers have found that manuka honey has a higher antibacterial activity against various strains of bacteria, with a stronger effect coming from manuka honey with higher MGO levels,’ says Wakeman. 3. High in antioxidants Pure New Zealand Mānuka Honey has a unique taste that changes as the MGO rating increases. It isn't as sweet as most mass produced honey varieties so to help you decide on the taste and antimicrobial properties (MGO rating) that's perfect for you we've created this handy taste chart. Manuka Health is dedicated to care and and expertise at every step of the process, ensuring you are getting pure, authentic Manuka honey every time.Developing a system to measure the MGO content in Manuka honey was first initiated by Dr. Peter Molan from the University of Waikato in New Zealand. His system, named “Molan Gold Standard”, gave us a viable metric to evaluate Manuka honey. The cream of the crop, premium Monofloral Manuka Honey is the highest grade possible, ranging from MGO 696+ (18+ UMF) to MGO 1356+ (27+ UMF). Manuka honey has long been used as a treatment and protective barrier for burns, sores, and other wounds, thanks to its antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Topical application has been shown to enhance the regeneration of tissue, reduce healing time, and even decrease pain in multiple studies. ‘Manuka honey has the ability to stimulate macrophages which are needed for reducing microbial infections and helping in tissue healing,’ says Wakeman. It may even help reverse resistance to antibiotics in bacteria such as MRSA, the Society for General Microbiology found. 5.

There are a few precautions with Manuka honey for treating various ailments and health conditions. Any kind of honey isn’t suitable for babies under 12 months of age because it is a known source of the bacteria spores that cause botulism. Also, if you have an allergic reaction to pollen, or other bee-related allergies, then honey can cause allergic reaction. 14

Finally, if you’re looking for the ultimate punch against bacteria and other pathogens, we suggest MGO 829+. This honey has superior levels of both antibacterial activity and medicinal properties. MGO 850+, MGO 900+, and MGO 950+ are among the most common grades in this range. MGO, Antibacterial Properties, and the Growing Concern of Antibiotic Resistance A pertinent question arises — how does the MGO end up in the honey? It’s genuinely a marvel of nature. Bees produce MGO when they break down the Manuka nectar using enzymes in their stomachs. They convert a compound found in the nectar, known as dihydroxyacetone (DHA), into MGO. One intriguing fact is that this transformative process of producing MGO continues even post-harvest. For a period extending between 12-24 months post-harvest, MGO concentration increases as DHA levels diminish. Understanding the MGO Rating — An Incomplete Measure The UMF signifies the antibacterial strength of Manuka honey and is directly related to the amount of MG in the honey, not hydrogen peroxide.One study showed that both Manuka and clover honey, were able to treat the virus that causes shingles 13. For more information on that study, you can read my article on how to treat shingles with Manuka and clover honey.
