What makes high-quality Manuka honey special?

Not all Manuka honey is of the same quality. High-quality Manuka honey should meet several important criteria:

Certifications: UMF, MGO, IAA

The quality of Manuka honey is guaranteed by various certification marks. The most important ones are:

• MGO: Indicates the concentration of methylglyoxal, the main active ingredient in Manuka honey.
• UMF (Unique Manuka Factor): A New Zealand quality certification that tests for MGO as well as other bioactive compounds.
• IAA (Institute for Active Manuka Honey): Another certification that confirms the antibacterial activity.

 

Lab-tested quality – peace of mind when you buy

We have our Manuka honey tested for purity and MGO content at independent laboratories. When purchasing, be sure to look for certification seals and analysis reports.

 

Traceability: Proof of origin via QR code

High-quality Manuka honey, like ours, can be traced back to the beekeepers in New Zealand via QR codes. This way, you can be sure that you’re getting an authentic product.

 

Sustainability: Recyclable glass and packaging

As an environmentally conscious manufacturer, we use eco-friendly packaging to reduce our environmental footprint. We prioritize sustainable materials such as recycled glass and biodegradable packaging.

 

High-quality manufacturing

Gentle processing without heating preserves the honey's valuable nutrients. In addition, the honey should come from certified, pesticide-free areas.

 

MGO Levels and Their Significance

You're wondering what MGO means in Manuka honey? 

MGO (methylglyoxal) is the key active ingredient in Manuka honey. The higher the MGO value, the more powerful the antibacterial effect.

• MGO 100+: Gentle and ideal for daily use
• MGO 250+: Supports the immune system
• MGO 400+: Suitable for relieving cold symptoms
• MGO 550+ and higher: For specific uses, such as for skin problems or sore throats
