Our Manuka Honey MGO 400 has an MGO content of a least 400 mg\/kg and, like all our Manuka honeys, is one of the pure honeys, which means that the bees have extracted it almost exclusively from flowers of the Manuka bush. The taste experience: spicy-warm, cinnamon-sweet, ethereal, with notes of camphor and turmeric.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: sharp-grotesk;\">Quality<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The quality and therefore the origin of our Manuka honey has the highest priority for us. For this reason, we purchase honey only from selected beekeepers. Beekeepers we know personally and who have been working with us professionally for years.<\/p>\n<p>In order to be able to guarantee and assure the quality of the honey, we refer to an extensive testing procedure. To guarantee that the MGO content is always at least 400 milligrams per kilogram, all our products are tested and certified by two independent laboratories in New Zealand and Germany. Our honeys are always free of glyphosate and other residues. In addition, tests are carried out on various parameters that are important on the European market, including, for example, enzyme content. This means: We supply authentic, pure Manuka Honey according to New Zealand &amp; European specifications and can prove it.<\/p>\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1541263705\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/anukhoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/MADHU_Manuka_Flower_01-scaled.jpg\" class=\"bg attachment- size-\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1541263705 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n  min-height: 250px;\n}\n#section_1541263705 .section-bg img {\n  object-position: 57% 69%;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #section_1541263705 {\n    min-height: 325px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1891455285\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-161350576\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: sharp-grotesk; font-size: 80%;\">What does the MGO 400 in Manuka Honey mean?<\/span><\/h2>\n\t<div id=\"text-1943571294\" class=\"text hide-for-small\">\n\t\t\n<p>MGO stands for Methylglyoxal, a compound that occurs naturally in Manuka Honey and is responsible for its unique antimicrobial properties in high concentrations.

It is helpful for colds and sore throats and can contribute to natural wound healing. This effect is especially found in honeys with high MGO values.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, Manuka honey is an excellent natural remedy for digestion. It can help with a variety of digestive problems, including heartburn, stomach ulcers and inflammatory bowel disease. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, it can help calm the digestive system and promote gastrointestinal health.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, Manuka honey can be used for skin care. Its antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce skin blemishes and promote skin health. It can be used as a moisturizer, in homemade face masks and scrubs.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Manuka honey is an excellent natural sugar substitute. Its rich and complex flavor makes it a wonderful addition to tea, yogurt, porridge and many other foods.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the quality and origin of Manuka honey matters.

This includes the obligation of its members to have their honey tested in neutral laboratories and to adhere to strict requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Manuka Identification Project&#8221; was launched by the UMFHA in 2013 with the central goal of creating a specific profile for Manuka honey. This is to prevent counterfeiting and ensure quality. To do this, nectar and honey samples were collected from all regions of New Zealand and a chemical fingerprint of Manuka honey was determined using state-of-the-art chemical profiling methods.<\/p>\n<p>This &#8220;fingerprint&#8221; is now used for the UMF classification. A honey may call itself UMF Manuka Honey if it contains DHA (dihydroxyacetone), leptosperin and methylglyoxal. Leptosperin is found exclusively in Manuka honey, which is a distinctive indication. Furthermore, the hydroxymethylfurfural content must not exceed 40mg\/kg. The concentration of methylglyoxal is represented by the classification number, for example UMF13+ signals a methylglyoxal content of more than 550 mg\/kg. This way, when you buy Manuka Honey from UMF member companies, you can be sure that you are buying genuine Manuka Honey with known antibacterial activity (UMF classification) and specific MGO content.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"accordion-1772310423\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-1772310423-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-why-is-manuka-honey-so-expensive?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-1772310423-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>Why is Manuka honey so expensive?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-1772310423-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-1772310423-label\">\n\t\t\t\n<p>Manuka honey, this rare and precious gold from New Zealand, deserves its exceptionally high price for several reasons. Urspr\u00fcnglich von den Bienen, die den Nektar der seltenen Manuka-B\u00e4ume sammeln, ist Manuka Honig nicht nur ein Produkt der Natur, sondern auch der Zeit und des Ortes.<\/p>\n<p>The bees that produce this honey have only a short flowering period in the New Zealand summer to collect the nectar. They always rely on the natural conditions being just perfect to produce this rare product. This intensive, time-limited harvesting process underlines the high price of Manuka honey.<\/p>\n<p>No less significant are the health benefits that Manuka honey offers. Thanks to its high concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO), it has remarkable antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that far exceed those of ordinary honey. This excellent therapeutic profile has made Manuka Honey a valued product in natural medicine and justifies its high price.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, each drop of Manuka honey is subject to rigorous testing and certification to ensure its origin and quality. The tests confirm the MGO content and ensure that only genuine, high quality Manuka Honey enters the market. The cost of this quality assurance is also included in the final price of the honey.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the high price of Manuka honey is explained by the combination of limited production, complex harvesting process, remarkable health benefits and strict quality control. Despite the high price, Manuka honey remains a product whose exceptional properties and quality make it a highly valued natural product.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"accordion-156207659\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-156207659-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-is-manuka-honey-suitable-for-dogs?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-156207659-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>Is Manuka honey suitable for dogs?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-156207659-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-156207659-label\">\n\t\t\t\n<p>As a dog lover and connoisseur of Manuka Honey, one question always comes up: Can dogs also ingest Manuka honey? The answer is yes, however there are a few things to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, Manuka honey, like all honeys, is a natural source of sugar. Too much sugar can lead to health problems such as obesity and diabetes in dogs. Therefore, honey should be given only in moderation and should not be the main source of food for your dog.<\/p>\n<p>However, the therapeutic properties of Manuka honey can also benefit dogs. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects can help with minor wounds and skin irritations. A little Manuka honey on the affected area can help promote healing and prevent infection.<\/p>\n<p>While Manuka Honey is safe and healthy for most dogs, there are some exceptions. Puppies and dogs with weakened immune systems should not be given honey because they are more susceptible to certain bacteria that may be found in honey.<\/p>\n<p>Before giving Manuka Honey to your dog, always consult your veterinarian first. Although Manuka Honey offers many health benefits, it cannot replace the professional medical treatment your dog may need.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-393099936 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<style>\n#row-1128360022 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #row-1128360022 > .col > .col-inner {\n    padding: 30px 30px 30px 30px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1054655128 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-522842089\" class=\"col hide-for-small medium-4 small-4 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-1884718186\" class=\"gap-element clearfix hide-for-small\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1884718186 {\n  padding-top: 90px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover hide-for-small x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1657245693\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/anukhoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/manuka-strauch5-1-600x800.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anukhoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/manuka-strauch5-1-600x800.webp 600w, https:\/\/anukhoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/manuka-strauch5-1-300x400.webp 300w, https:\/\/anukhoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/manuka-strauch5-1.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1657245693 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\t<section class=\"section hide-for-small\" id=\"section_229047948\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-326846297\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1287829131\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"text-3798678991\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n<h2><span style=\"color: #282828;\">Other frequently asked questions<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3798678991 {\n  color: rgb(181, 183, 173);\n}\n#text-3798678991 > * {\n  color: rgb(181, 183, 173);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row row-full-width align-center row-box-shadow-1\"  id=\"row-1354723854\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1132735297\" class=\"col medium-10 small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"accordion\">\n\t<div id=\"accordion-1764677666\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-1764677666-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-what-is-manuka-honey-good-for?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-1764677666-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>What is Manuka Honey good for?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-1764677666-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-1764677666-label\">\n\t\t\t\n<p>Manuka honey is a unique natural product that is valued for its many health-promoting properties.<\/p>\n<p>First, thanks to its strong antimicrobial activity, Manuka honey can support the immune system in the long term. It is helpful for colds and sore throats and can contribute to natural wound healing. This effect is especially found in honeys with high MGO values.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, Manuka honey is an excellent natural wonder drug for digestion. It can assist with a variety of digestive problems, including heartburn, stomach ulcers, and inflammatory bowel disease. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, it can help calm the digestive system and promote gastrointestinal health.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, Manuka honey can be used for skin care. Its antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce skin blemishes and promote skin health. It can be used as a moisturizer, in homemade face masks and scrubs.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Manuka honey is an excellent natural sugar substitute. Its rich and complex flavor makes it a wonderful addition to tea, yogurt, porridge and many other foods.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the quality and origin of Manuka honey matters. Look for certified products to ensure you get the full benefits of real Manuka Honey.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"accordion-3492998362\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-3492998362-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-what-does-umf-mean-for-manuka-honey?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-3492998362-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>What does UMF mean for Manuka Honey?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-3492998362-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-3492998362-label\">\n\t\t\t\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umf.org.nz\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UMF Association (UMFHA)<\/a> is dedicated to ensuring the integrity and quality of Manuka Honey on the global stage. This includes the obligation of its members to have their honey tested in neutral laboratories and to adhere to strict requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Manuka Identification Project&#8221; was launched by the UMFHA in 2013 with the central goal of creating a specific profile for Manuka honey. This is to prevent counterfeiting and ensure quality. To do this, nectar and honey samples were collected from all regions of New Zealand and a chemical fingerprint of Manuka honey was determined using state-of-the-art chemical profiling methods.<\/p>\n<p>This &#8220;fingerprint&#8221; is now used for the UMF classification. A honey may call itself UMF Manuka Honey if it contains DHA (dihydroxyacetone), leptosperin and methylglyoxal. Leptosperin is found exclusively in Manuka honey, which is a distinctive indication. Furthermore, the hydroxymethylfurfural content must not exceed 40mg\/kg. The concentration of methylglyoxal is represented by the classification number, for example UMF13+ signals a methylglyoxal content of more than 550 mg\/kg.
