What does MGO & NPA mean?

Every jar of  New Zealand honey is labelled with numbers which show the strength of its UMF and MGO content and confirm it is genuine Manuka honey.

MGO stands for Methylglyoxal, the naturally-occurring chemical unique to MANUKA honey.  Scientific tests have shown this chemical has antimicrobial properties and the more the honey contains, the better it is for you - its as simple as that!

NPA stands for Non-Peroxide Activity and is part of the UMF system, The higher the number the more likely it is to have a stronger healing anti-bacterial effect.

The Manuka bush doesn’t grow everywhere, which is why Manuka honey is rarer and at a higher price point than other honey.  Manuka Honey is known for its many health benefits, both inside and out. Check out our skincare range for more health products,
