MGO CERTIFIED

Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a compound found in the pollen of the Manuka tree’s flowers. This tree, a New Zealand native has a short flowering period which makes the placement of hives and the timing of the harvest crucial. If done correctly, the Methylglyoxal present in the maunka honey will be much higher.

You may have seen the term UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) – which some other honey producers use to measure the Manuka unique signature compounds in their honey. Pauariki Honey use the MGO rating number because it tells us how much methylglyoxal is in the honey. The Methylglyoxal (MGO) Certification is scientific, precise, and transparent and leaves no room for misleading.

In 2008, it was discovered by Dr Peter Molan, that MGO is responsible for much of the antibacterial properties in manuka honey. Therefore, the presence of MGO is found to be the best indicator of genuine active manuka honey with guaranteed antibacterial properties.
 
MGO graded honey directly measures the amount of MGO in manuka honey. Measurement is expressed as parts per million (ppm) or mg/kg. The higher the number the better the active and antibacterial properties, and more it is sought sought after in the health sector.

MĀNUKA HONEY SCIENCE/MAGIC

This can be used both topically and is 100% natural way of curing a sore throat or treating skin irritation and issues.
