What is MGO?

Nature’s own antibacterial power, measured and proven.

The Wild Heart of Mānuka Honey

In the pristine, untouched wilderness of New Zealand, nature reveals its secret. Here, the native Manuka bush flourishes, and from its precious nectar, bees create an extraordinary honey found nowhere else on Earth. This is Manuka honey, and its remarkable power comes from a unique natural compound: MGO (Methylglyoxal).

MGO: The Source of Manuka's Antibacterial Power

MGO is what makes Manuka honey truly exceptional. It's a stable, potent compound that defines the honey's antibacterial strength—and unlike other honeys, it doesn't diminish over time or with temperature changes. While ordinary honeys may lose their potency, Manuka's MGO remains constant, serving as a reliable indicator of the honey's quality and therapeutic power.

A Gift from Nature, Not a Laboratory

MGO isn't something we add—it's a gift from nature itself. This powerful compound forms naturally from the nectar of Manuka flowers through a unique process that begins as bees gather pollen across New Zealand's remote wilderness. Every jar captures the essence of this pristine landscape, delivering the authentic antibacterial benefits of the wild.

Clear, Measurable Potency

We measure the MGO level in every single batch to ensure you receive the purest, most potent Manuka honey. The number on our label—whether MGO 263+, 520+, 830+, or 1200+—tells you exactly how powerful your honey is. No guesswork, no ambiguity. Just honest, transparent information about what's inside.
