Manuka honey contains high levels of a key natural compound called Methylglyoxal (or MGO for short). MGO has special anti-bacterial properties, which means it can kill bad bugs and bacteria. It’s what sets Manuka apart from other honeys and makes it such a powerful choice for natural wellness. The higher the MGO number, the greater the concentration of this beneficial compound – and the stronger the honey’s activity. The amount of MGO contained is written on the front of every pot and is expressed as mg per kg. So a 100 MGO Manuka honey will contain at least 100 milligrams of Methylglyoxal per Kilogram. As a rule of thumb, the more severe your health concern, the higher the MGO you should go. For a more detailed recommendation, take the Dr Hilary Jones MGO quiz to find your perfect match. When you see the MGO number on your Manuka Doctor jar, know that behind that number is a network of scientists, beekeepers, and experts committed to one thing: 100% Genuine Manuka honey, every time. Taste By choosing Manuka Doctor, you’re not just buying honey. You’re choosing a product that has been rigorously tested, certified and trusted by over 100,000 verified reviews worldwide. If you’ve never tasted Manuka honey before, you will be pleasantly surprised. Manuka honey has an inviting golden colour with a smooth, creamy texture. Its well-balanced flavour is a taste sensation, first sweet then woody, ending with a very slight bitterness. Due to Manuka’s unique antimicrobial properties, it is not as sweet as most mass-produced honeys. Sustainability Our honey is packaged in 100% recycled, NZ-made rPET plastic pots with no outer display packaging to reduce waste. Certified as BPA free. Because we transport our pots 11,000 miles by sea, changing from recyclable plastic to glass would add significant weight and therefore fuel, emissions and pollutants to every shipment. An impact assessment concluded rPet was lighter, unbreakable and had a better environmental balance than glass for transporting Manuka honey from our hives New Zealand. We are working towards a fully sustainable supply chain and have invested heavily in the land where our product is harvested. As a business we have planted more than 250,000 individual Manuka bush seedlings and will continue to create new areas of Manuka bush growth in both the North and South islands of New Zealand. Testing & Certification Every jar of Manuka Doctor honey can be traced right back to the hives where it was created. Our "hive to home" guarantee means when we screw the lid on your jar in New Zealand, nobody opens it until you do. Before export, we test every batch to ensure it meets the strict New Zealand Government’s MPI standard. As well as a separate lab test to confirm the honey’s MGO level. You can see the results of these tests yourself too. Simply type the unique batch code printed on the side of your jar into our online checker to see the certificates for your batch.
