DISCOVER THE SCIENCE-BACKED BENEFITS OF MĀNUKA HONEY
Why is mānuka so powerful?
How does it work?
Methylglyoxal (MGO) makes mānuka the world’s strongest honey.
The high concentration of Methylgyoxal is only found in mānuka, and is responsible for its health-promoting benefits.
|
Methylgyoxal (MGO) is the main health-promoting component in mānuka honey. MGO has naturally antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory qualities. Mānuka can therefore greatly help you with all sorts of common concerns (see below). |
|
In fact, mānuka honey is generated the same way as other floral honeys. The honeybees harvest the nectar of the blossom. What differs is the formation of high MGO concentrations. The mānuka blossoms contain high levels of dihydroxyacetone (DHA). DHA naturally converts to MGO in the ripening process of the honey. This is unique to the flowers of the mānuka tree, also referred to as the New Zealand tea tree. |
|
Next to methylglyoxal, mānuka contains low PH levels, high sugar content, and low water content. This can prevent the growth of microbes. It contains fructose, glucose, maltose and sucrose – but has no fat, fibre or protein. |
|
“100 MGO” products contain 100+ milligrams of MGO in every kilogram of honey (100mg/kg). 100 MGO indicates mild to moderate activity, found in MAHŌNI DAILY. “600 MGO” products contain 600+ milligrams of MGO in every kilogram of honey (600mg/kg). 600 MGO indicates strong activity, found in MAHŌNI ACUTE. Experiences have shown that 600+ MGO works best for more acute needs. The strongest mānuka that exists contains around 1.000 MGO. |

Regulatory and Scientific information
our information stems from Peer-reviewed recognized journals.
All of our research and statements are based on peer-reviewed journals. Recognized medical and biological journals worldwide have conducted research on mānuka honey for applications inside and outside the human body, and have studied Methylgloyxal. We collected it and drilled it down for you, to make it readily understandable.
Mahoni products are considered nutraceuticals, not medical products.
Mānuka is becoming widely-used as a functional food. It is described as an emerging natural food with medicinal use. Mānuka’s natural power is being studied in medical research now more than ever. However, it is currently not a certified medical product, and it is not an alternative to treatment plans prescribed by your physician.
A nutraceutical is a food substance which has physiological benefits. Nutraceuticals provide health benefits, but are not tested or regulated to the extent of pharmaceuticals.
