Why You Should Choose Manuka honey?

What Makes Manuka honey Special

Manuka honey with Clinically Active Compounds

 

Manuka honey is produced from the nectar of the native New Zealand plant Leptospermum scoparium (manuka flower).

​

Unlike regular honey, Manuka naturally contains MGO (methylglyoxal), a compound that is scientifically recognized for its strong antibacterial properties.

 

This rare bioactive profile is the result of the plant’s unique phytochemical structure combined with the pristine natural environment in which it grows.

Understanding MGO

Key Bioactivity Markers and Functional Benefits of Manuka Honey

​

MGO (methylglyoxal) is a key compound that determines the antibacterial potency of Manuka honey.


The MGO level, measured in milligrams per kilogram, indicates that the higher the value, the stronger the potential wellness properties of the honey.

All manukaday honeys are independently tested and certified for their MGO content, ensuring reliable potency in every single batch and delivering consistent, trusted quality.

 Difference Between Manuka Honey and Regular Honey

Manuka honey and regular honey may look similar, but they are quite different in terms of origin, composition, and bioactivity.

​

1. Origin

  • Manuka honey comes from the nectar of the Manuka tree (native to New Zealand)

  • Regular honey is produced from a variety of floral sources worldwide

 

2. Key Active Compounds

  • Manuka honey contains a unique compound called MGO (methylglyoxal), which gives it strong antibacterial properties

  • Regular honey contains natural enzymes and antioxidants, but does not have significant MGO levels

 

3. Bioactivity

  • Manuka honey is known for its measurable antibacterial activity, often graded by MGO or UMF levels

  • Regular honey has general nutritional and soothing properties but is not typically standardized for antibacterial strength

 

4. Standardization & Certification

  • Manuka honey is often independently tested and certified (e.g., MGO rating system)

  • Regular honey is usually not graded by bioactive potency

 

5. Price & Rarity

  • Manuka honey is rarer and more expensive due to limited geographic production

  • Regular honey is widely available and more affordable
