Tag: Manuka grading

According to scientific tests, genuine Manuka honey is unique because it contains high levels of Methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound responsible for its potent antibacterial properties. An MGO 550+ rating on Manuka honey signifies a premium, high-strength product with specific therapeutic applications.

According to the Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association (UMFHA), over 80% of all Manuka honey sold globally is fake. To find the best Manuka to buy, it is essential to understand the difference between grading systems like UMF and MGO, confirm origin, and determine the right potency for your intended use.
