Mānuka honey is a dark, potent honey from New Zealand, known for its strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties due to compounds like methylglyoxal (MGO). It's used topically for wound healing and skin issues like acne, and internally to soothe sore throats, support gut health, and boost the immune system, though it's not for infants. Its unique benefits are graded by UMF or MGO ratings, which indicate its potency, making it more expensive and sought-after than regular honey.
MGO 30+ to 100+ (Daily Use): Suitable for general health, wellness, and as a natural sweetener.
MGO 250+ to 400+ (Immune Support): Good for supporting the immune system and treating minor, everyday ailments.
MGO 500+ to 800+ (Targeted Care): Provides strong antibacterial activity, often used for digestive health or treating sore throats.
MGO 1000+ to 1200+ (Maximum Potency): High-grade honey with maximum antibacterial properties for specialized, acute therapeutic use.
This Manuka is MGO 182 which is ok for daily consumption.
