Manuka honey is a monofloral honey obtained from the nectar of Manuka flowers, a shrub endemic to New Zealand. This Manuka Honey is a raw honey that contains the active natural antibiotic, Methylglyoxal (MGO). MGO (Methylglyoxal) is a powerful natural antibacterial compound found in the concentration of Manuka flower nectar.
The MGO or UMF grade listed on any Manuka honey product indicates its antibiotic concentration. The higher the concentration of MGO or UMF, the stronger the antibiotic effect.
Conversion table and consumption recommendation MGO factor -> UMF factor
-
MGO 100+ equivalent UMF 6+: daily maintenance level, recommended factor for strengthening the immune system, mild sore throat
-
MGO 250+ equivalent UMF 10+ : medium level of antibacterial power
-
MGO 400+ is equivalent to UMF 13+: optimal (recommended) level of antibacterial power
-
MGO 550+ is equivalent to UMF 16+: strong level of antibacterial power
Attention: We recommend that you use the factor that suits your needs. Using an MGO or UMF factor that is too strong when it is not necessary can in some cases lead to side effects.
