MGO™ stands for the natural compound Methylglyoxal which is responsible for manuka honey's unique health-giving properties. Manuka Health products have been tested and certified by independent laboratories.
MGO™ (Methylglyoxal) levels range from 100 to 700 mg/kg. For example, honey labeled MGO™ 100 contains at least 100 mg/kg of dietary Methylglyoxal. If you suffer from: Sore Throats, Cold Symptoms, Coughs, Sinus Infections, Flu Symptoms, Canker Sores, Fever Blisters, Acid Reflux, Esophagitis, GERD, Heart Burn, Up-Set Stomach, Peptic Ulcer, Gastritis, Diverticulitis, IBS, or many different kinds of External Sores then Manuka Honey may be what your looking for.
All types of honey contain hydrogen peroxide which has proven anti-bacterial properties. However, these properties vary widely and can be destroyed by light and heat. Therefore, the anti-bacterial properties of honey in general are not always reliable. There is one notable exception - Manuka Honey by Manuka Health. Manuka Health of New Zealand products are 100% pure products that are found in New Zealand. Manuka Honey by Manuka Health has recently been recognized for its claim to help assist in healing wounds as well as help support proper digestive health.
