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

Product Information

MGO in Mānuka honey is naturally made in the hive from DHA which is present in the nectar of the Manuka Bush. Within the hive DHA undergoes the Maillard reaction to naturally form MGO.

Additionally, storage conditions such as temperature can impact the rate of DHA to MGO conversion. The ideal storage temperature to balance the DHA to MGO conversion is at or below 23°C. The Role of UMF™ Grading SystemThe MGO rating system was pioneered by Manuka Health after the company discovered it was one of the key naturally occurring compounds that make manuka honey special. This was discovered by Manuka Health and a research team in Germany to be the special compound that needs to present for a honey to be classed as genuine manuka honey.

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. Clinical trials have also shown that Manuka honey has a positive effect in the treatment of various cancer tumors. The honey was effective in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and also proved to increase the effectiveness of conventional cancer treatments 12. 10. Manuka honey for shingles Manuka honey may increase amounts of certain ‘good’ bacteria and decrease the prevalence of ‘bad’ bacteria. 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. It’s not just anecdotal evidence that point to the fact that Manuka honey can help soothe a sore throat, research has also shown that it can actually cure a sore throat as it can inhibit the bacteria causing a strep throat 6. You can find more natural remedies for strep throat in my previous article. 4.

Cancer 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

In addition, MGO acts differently in honey than in isolation, with other elements present in the honey that alter how this chemical interacts with bacteria. This highlights that MGO is only a part of the picture and not the sole contributor behind the significant non-peroxide antibacterial activity of Manuka honey. Ensuring Authenticity and Quality: MGO is Not the Only Factor

Ways to incorporate Multifloral Manuka Honey into your everyday routines include mixing it into a warming drink, stirring into a smoothie or smearing Doctors aren’t completely sure why people suffer from IBS and IBD, however, some point to the fact that it could be related to an imbalance of bacteria in the gut. The ideal solution to the aforementioned quality assurance problem lies in the UMF™ (Unique Manuka Factor) grading system. This system offers a more holistic evaluation than just relying on MGO measurement. Genuine Manuka honey from New Zealand bears both a MGO rating and a UMF™ grade. Sometimes you may see the term MGO used in place of UMF. The MGO rating also indicates the amount of Methylglyoxal in the honey. Therefore, the higher the MGO rating, then the more antibacterial properties are in the honey. An MGO rating of 100+ is the equivalent to UMF 5+ and MGO 550+ is the same as UMF 15+. Manuka Honey Uses and Health Benefits

You might also be familiar with the NPA rating which relates to the amount of Non-Peroxide Activity there is within the Manuka honey. NPA is a measurement of MGO and below are the equivalents: Independently verified and scientifically tested to ensure the MGO rating, this is all natural Monofloral Manuka honey from the foothills of Mt Egmont, Taranaki. The MGO rating system for manuka honey differs from the UMF or unique manuka factor rating system in that it specifically measures the level of a compound called methylglyoxal (MGO). When researchers analysed six types of honey, they found that manuka contained the highest levels of antioxidant activity.

Strep throat is an infection that manifests in a painful and inflamed throat. The cause of strep throat is bacteria known as Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as group A streptococcus. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ( MRSA) is a bug, which is sometimes known as a hospital super bug. It has developed from the overuse of antibiotics and conventional antibacterial treatments are ineffective. The UMF signifies the antibacterial strength of Manuka honey and is directly related to the amount of MG in the honey, not hydrogen peroxide. When researchers analysed six types of honey, they found that manuka contained the highest levels of antioxidant activity. ‘Manuka’s antibacterial potency comes from the fact it has a higher total number of phenolic compounds, which have an ability to scavenge superoxide free radicals,’ Wakeman says. 4.
