Premium Manuka Honey MGO 514+ (15+ NPA) 8.8 fl oz (250g)

Boasting an impressive nutrient profile, manuka honey is considered one of the most beneficial types of honey in the world. It is produced by honey bees that pollinate the flowers of the Leptospermum scoparium bush, which is found in New Zealand and in the pristine bushlands and forests that grow along the east coast of Australia. More than just a natural sweetener, manuka honey is a highly versatile superfood with a variety of uses and health benefits.

What nutrients can you find in manuka honey?**

Boasting an impressive nutrient profile, manuka honey contains up to four times more nutrients than regular flower honeys. Some of these beneficial nutrients are copper, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, protein, potassium and zinc. Manuka honey also contains amino acids, beneficial enzymes, alkaloids, glycosides and volatile compounds. In addition, manuka honey contains several B vitamins, such as vitamin B6, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid.

A rich source of potent antioxidants, manuka honey contains high levels of flavonoids, polyphenols and other antioxidant compounds that protect against oxidative stress and support overall health. 

Aside from essential nutrients and phytonutrients, manuka honey contains MGO, which comes from the manuka flower’s nectar. This natural chemical is believed to be responsible for the many health benefits of manuka honey. A high MGO rating among honeys indicates superior quality. With its impressively high MGO rating, manuka honey boasts beneficial properties that are much more potent and stable than those of other types of honey.

What's the difference between NPA, MGO and UMF?**

For commercial reasons, different symbols are used to represent the activity strength of manuka honey. The three most common are NPA, MGO and UMF.

NPA – All types of honey possess a natural property known as peroxide activity, which contributes to their health benefits. However, in regular honey, the compound responsible for this activity is unstable and easily loses its effectiveness when exposed to light or air. On the other hand, manuka honey has non-peroxide activity (NPA), which is provided by a highly effective and much more stable compound. The NPA of lab-verified manuka honey from Australia and New Zealand allows it to remain potent and less affected by natural heat, air or sunlight.

MGO – Methylglyoxal is a naturally occurring compound that can only be found in manuka honey. It is measured in parts per million (ppm) and used as an indicator of the strength of manuka honey's NPA.

 

UMF – Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) is a measurement standard that is based on the amount of beneficial compounds present in manuka honey. Developed by the UMF Honey Association in New Zealand, it is a quality trademark that guarantees the authenticity of a manuka product. A higher UMF rating indicates superior quality.

These three symbols are very closely correlated. See the conversion chart below:



*MGO is measured as mg/kg (ppm)

**NPA is measured as % solution (%w/v) of phenol/water
