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

Product Information

Consumers who buy MGO 250+ Manuka Honey are guaranteed that they are buying a genuine manuka honey. The rating MGO 250+ is considered to be moderately high rating, but the range of manuka honey produced by Manuka Health has honey with a level as low as 30+ and as high as 550+. The reason why Manuka honey is unique is because the bush contains strong antibacterial compounds found mostly in Leptospermum plants 1. Components of Manuka Honey It’s important to note that the MGO content of Manuka honey changes over time. The MGO concentration initially increases rapidly during the first couple of years after harvest due to the chemical conversion of DHA to MGO. However, as the DHA supply gets used up, the rate of conversion declines. In fact, in honey nearing the end of a five-year shelf life, the MGO concentration begins to drop due to insufficient DHA availability. Given the high price tag associated with this sweet, rich liquid, which purported manuka honey benefits live up to the hype? With the expertise of Mike Wakeman, clinical nutritionist at Feel Alive, we take a look what the science so far can tell us about manuka honey benefits – and explain what to look for on the label: Our hives can be found in the remote Manuka forests of the South Taranaki region, New Zealand. This isolation, away from built up city’s and people, result in some of the purest honey in the world.

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.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. Assists with wound healing 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. An imbalance of bacteria in the stomach and intestines and also having low stomach acid can cause various gastric problems like diarrhea, abdominal pain and loss of appetite. In some cases this is caused by a condition called Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) which is an increase in the number of bacteria, and/or changes in the types of bacteria present in the small bowel. Genuine New Zealand Mānuka Honey. Independently tested to show it meets the New Zealand Government's definition of Mānuka 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).

MGO 250+ Manuka Honey is a natural and delicious honey that captures the essence and taste of the natural environment in New Zealand. 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. MGO concentrations in Manuka honey can range quite widely, from as low as 80 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) to exceeding 1800mg/kg. To put that into perspective, Manuka honey generally contains nearly 100 times more MGO than conventional types of honey. If you want a little bit of medicinal power but don’t want to go above and beyond with the antibacterial properties, then we recommend the MGO 263+ variety. The most common grades in this range are MGO 263+, MGO 300+, MGO 302+, MGO 400+, and MGO 500+.

CancerManuka Honey World is where you will find out everything there is to know about manuka honey, shop for your favourite brand of manuka honey and get manuka honey skin care products as well as health care products made with medical grade manuka honey. 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? It is the Methylglyoxal (MG) compound that sets Manuka honey apart from other types of honey. Other types of honey do contain some MG but in much lower quantities. The hydrogen peroxide in honey is not very stable and easily breaks down when exposed to light and heat. MG, on the other hand, is much more stable and doesn’t lose its antibacterial properties. 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)

In addition to fighting biofilms, MGO in Manuka honey has demonstrated potential in restricting the growth of dangerous pathogens. It’s proven effective against Streptococcus pyogenes, gram-negative bacteria including E. coli, and even hard-to-treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, a widely supported definition of authentic Manuka exists. It was set up by the UMF Honey Association and determines the minimum quantity of naturally occurring chemicals only found in the nectar of the Manuka flowers that must be present in the honey to be authenticated as Manuka.As there are no UK guidelines to classify Manuka honey grades, we recognise that it can be difficult to shop products and compare them to understand with Manuka honey which strength you should buy. 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. 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+.
