Manuka Doctor -MGO 40 Active Manuka Honey
Harvested and packed by us in New Zealand.
100% New Zealand Mānuka Honey. Certified by New Zealand Government. MGO (Methylglyoxal) displays Antimicrobial Activity which is known to kill certain types of bacteria.
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.
The number on the front of the pot represents the mg per kg of MGO (Methylglyoxal) and the related strength of Antimicrobial Activity, which is known to kill certain types of bacteria. The greater the number, the stronger the Antimicrobial Activity.
Pure New Zealand Mānuka Honey has a unique taste that changes as the MGO rating increases. It isn't as sweet as most mass produced honey varieties so to help you decide on the taste and antimicrobial properties (MGO rating) that's perfect for you we've created this handy taste chart.
Caution - Please handle with care
Honey should not be given to infants under 12 months old.
In hot weather we recommend that our Manuka Doctor Honey is refrigerated to maintain a thick, golden consistency. If your honey does become runny then simply chill for a few hours.
