NUBU Premium Mānuka Honey 80+ MGO - 245g

What is Mānuka Honey?

Mānuka honey is a monofloral honey produced by honeybees in New Zealand from the nectar of the native Mānuka tree, Leptospermum. These bees collect the compound DHA from the flowers along with its nectar. This compound DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) heats up to a perfect 37C in the bodies of the bees which converts to the medicinal compound MGO (Methylglyoxal) before being deposited in the hive.

How is this different to other honeys?

Mānuka honey has been throughly studied to have many properties which have been linked with a range of unique wellbeing benefits. There are three key compounds in Mānuka Honey - MGO, DHA, and Leptosperin, with MGO being the most valued compound. The higher the MGO number, the more is contained in the honey product.

What is the difference between MGO and UMF?

UMF is a way to measure the whole suite of compounds in Mānuka Honey. Below is how the two convert:

What is glyphosate?
