What is MGO?

The Natural Power Behind Manuka Honey

MGO (methylglyoxal) is the powerful compound that gives Manuka honey its unique antibacterial and health-supporting properties.

The higher the MGO number, the more potent the honey—and the greater the support for things like immunity, digestion, and overall wellness.

Why does MGO Matter?

Not all honey is created equal. While most honey has some health benefits, only Manuka honey contains high concentrations of MGO—giving it powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities.

Whether you're starting your day with a spoonful, mixing it into tea, or using it as a skin-soothing mask, the MGO content is what makes the difference.
