Manuka honey mgo 263 250g

MGO grade indicates the level of methylglyoxal, a key antibacterial component. Higher MGO numbers suggest greater potency and potential health benefits. For everyday use, MGO 250–400 offers a balanced profile of flavor and bioactivity. When selecting, consider taste preference, intended use (tea, toast, or cooking), and any dietary guidelines from your health advisor.

MGO measures the concentration of methylglyoxal, a compound linked to Manuka honey’s antibacterial properties. Higher MGO generally means stronger antimicrobial activity. This can support immune health, wound care, and soothing sore throats, though it’s not a substitute for medical treatment and should be consumed as part of a balanced diet.

Manuka honey can be enjoyed in tea, spread on toast, or used as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. Some people apply small amounts topically for minor skin irritation, though you should follow guidance from a healthcare professional for any topical use. Start with a teaspoon per day or as recommended by your preferred health source.

If you have yeast or pollen allergies, check with a healthcare professional before adding honey to your diet. Honey is a sugar and should be consumed in moderation by people with diabetes. For topical use, ensure you are not allergic to honey by performing a small patch test on the skin first.

Keep honey in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight with the lid tightly closed. Do not refrigerate as this can cause crystallization and alter texture. Proper storage helps maintain flavor and bioactivity, ensuring the honey remains enjoyable and effective for longer.
