Manuka Health MGO 400+ Pure Manuka Honey

£11.84 per 100g, Manuka Honey, unique to New Zealand, has incredible and reliable health-giving properties and can be used as a natural remedy to assist with an array of health conditions. The Manuka bush is covered in white flowers for four weeks of the year during mid summer and the slopes of both mountains and valleys are covered. During these four weeks bees are extremely busy gathering the honey from the Manuka flower. Methylglyoxal forms naturally in the Manuka plant nectar ready for collection by the bees  Methylglyoxal - the active anti-bacterial compound in Manuka Honey MGO Manuka Honey is labelled based on the minimum Methylglyoxal content (mg/kg) it contains. Methylglyoxal is the active compound directly responsible for the antibacterial activity of any Manuka honey and the MGO rating clearly indicates the minimum level of this compound in each jar. No other system of measurement gives such a clear and simple indication. The higher the Methylglyoxal content of MGO Manuka Honey, the stronger the antibacterial activity. For instance MGO 250+ has 2 1/2 times more antibacterial content than MGO 100+.  A quick comparison of MGO Manuka Honey products in relation to the older (non-peroxide activity NPA) system follows: Product Methylglyoxal, mg/kg NPA Equivalent MGO 100+ Manuka 100mg/kg 10+ MGO 250+ Manuka 250mg/kg 15+ MGO400+ Manuka 400mg/kg 20+ MGO 550+ Manuka 550mg/kg 25+ MGO 100+ is the minimum level equired as an effective health product.
