View full product detailsManuka honey is unique because it is only created by bees that forage the flowers of the Manuka tree in New Zealand. Manuka honey is also the only honey that contains the natural organic compound, Methylglyoxal (MGO), which contributes to its amazing health and wellness properties.
MGO in Manuka honey refers to Methylglyoxal, a naturally occurring compound that contributes to the honey's unique antibacterial properties. It's measured in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), indicating the honey's potency. The higher the MG concentrations, the more potent the honey.
In the early 1990s, Dr. Peter Molan from Waikato University in New Zealand was studying the ‘peroxide activity’ attributed to honey's antibacterial properties. He found that unlike the ‘peroxide activity’ of other types of honey, which was easily destroyed by exposure to fluids, heat, and sunlight, Manuka honey had a different, more potent, and more stable property that he called “non-peroxide activity” (NPA).
Later, Professor Thomas Henle from the Technical University of Dresden in Germany set out to isolate what in Manuka honey was exhibiting this potent and stable antibacterial effect. He was able to isolate the methylglyoxal (MGO) as the compound producing the NPA.
There’s only one rule to remember when buying Manuka honey: the higher the MGO value, the more potent and effective the honey is believed to be for medicinal purposes.
Manuka honey is more than just a sweet treat; its unique properties offer a range of health benefits. Here's how it can make a difference in your life:
Manuka honey may help with various digestive issues thanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, improving your gut health.
Its antibacterial and antiviral qualities can help relieve symptoms and fight infections, providing relief when you're feeling under the weather.
Manuka honey’s ability to promote faster healing and reduce infection risk makes it ideal for treating minor wounds and burns.
Manuka honey's antimicrobial properties boost your immune system, helping your body ward off infections.
Apply it to your skin to moisturize, reduce acne, support scar healing, and enhance your natural glow.
Manuka honey’s strong antibacterial capabilities are useful in fighting dental plaque and gingivitis, contributing to a healthier mouth.

There are only two legitimate, industry-recognized, and independently verifiable ways to label Manuka Honey:
When you see anything else on a label of honey purporting to be Manuka honey, you should steer well clear. Examples of what continues to show up on labels include: “Active”, “Bio-Active”, “Total Activity”, “K-Factor” plus a number typically ranging from 5+ to 20+. When labeled this way, the company is trying to intentionally mislead the consumer into thinking they are getting a high MG (or legitimate UMF) honey when in reality, they are typically getting a very low concentration or low activity (i.e., low MG value) honey.
You can buy authentic New Zealand Manuka honey directly on our website. At Bees & Trees, we are committed to producing the best quality Manuka honey. We harvest our honey in small batches to ensure high quality, minimally process it, and then pack it. We also publish our Methylglyoxal test reports on our product pages so you can shop confidently.
Manuka honey is more expensive than other types of honey due to its limited supply from New Zealand and its unique wellness benefits. At Bees & Trees, we produce our own honey and sell it directly to you the consumer, bypassing traditional distribution and large retail chain profit margins. On a pricer per MGO per ounce, we are typically 30-50% lower than many of competing brands.
