FAQ

  • What is the most effective way to consume Manuka honey?

    If MGO Manuka Honey is taken for health reasons, it is better to take it without food. This reduces the risk of MGO interacting with proteins in the diet. The honey can be taken with warm (not hot) water and lemon. We recommend taking MGO Manuka Honey between meals or 30 minutes before each meal, three times a day.

    For medicinal purposes, one teaspoon of honey is enough 3-4 times a day. Keep the honey in your mouth until it has completely dissolved.

  • What is MGO? What does MGO xxx + mean?

    MGO is an abbreviation for methylglyoxal – the most important stable antibacterial component in Manuka honey in the range of 30 mg to 1000 mg / kg. MGO is a compound found in most types of honey, but usually only in small amounts – 2-5 mg / kg. In Manuka honey, MGO arises from the conversion of the substance, dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is contained in high concentrations in the nectar of the Manuka flowers. The higher the MGO content, the stronger the antibacterial effect of the Manuka honey.

  • I've heard that Manuka Honey has antibacterial properties, but what exactly does it have?

    Every fresh honey has an antibacterial effect due to the naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide. However, hydrogen peroxide is not stable. Heat, light and body enzymes destroy hydrogen peroxide in seconds. Therefore, normal honey cannot be a reliable natural remedy for infections. Manuka honey has a stable antibacterial effect caused by a naturally high content of methylglyoxal (MGO). MGO is not destroyed by high temperatures and body enzymes.
