Benefits of Mānuka:
Mānuka Honey is one of the most unique and beneficial forms of honey in the world. In 1981, researchers at the New Zealand University of Waikato discovered that Mānuka Honey has a considerably higher level of enzymes than regular honey and identified its active agent, methylglyoxal (MGO)—the concentration of which is widely measured in the industry to determine the potency of what’s in the jar. These enzymes create a natural hydrogen peroxide that works as an antibacterial.
It is hugely beneficial for:
Burns and wounds
Digestion
Oral Health
Immunity
Acne, Eczema and Dermatitis
Skin repair
Anti-aging
The literature makes it clear that Mānuka is no fringe therapy; along with anti-inflammatory effects, the honey has incredible value as a wound dressing—with efficacy even against antibiotic-resistant microbes. Mānuka Honey benefits are wide, including helping with digestive issues; low stomach acid; treating acne and eczema; combating Staph infections; treating burns, wounds and ulcers; preventing tooth decay and gingivitis; improving sore throats and immunity and helping with allergies. Mānuka Honey is a beautiful raw resource for using as a beauty and skincare product – our favorite way to use ACTIVIST is straight out of the jar for a nightly face mask and also as a face cleanser!
MGO Explained:
MGO is both a measurement system and an abbreviation of Methylglyoxal. Methylglyoxal is an organic compound known for its antibacterial properties.
The Methylglyoxal in Mānuka honey is converted from dihydroxyacetone (DHA) found in the nectar of the Mānuka flower. While the resulting Methylglyoxal is present in other honeys, the levels in Mānuka honey are 1,000 times higher. This conversion occurs over a period of time with the amount of Methylglyoxal (MGO) shown to increase when aged appropriately.
The MGO scale is simple in the fact that it is testing and certifying for the amount of MGO = Methylglyoxal; which represents the active enzymes and health properties found in our Mānuka Honey. As an example our ACTIVIST 850+MGO represents that there is a minimum of 850mg of Methylglyoxal per KG tested and certified in our Mānuka Honey. It’s very clean and simple and easy for our customers to understand. Each and everyone of our products is tested and certified in New Zealand and has this marking on our jar and label. Remember the higher the MGO the higher the potency and antibacterial effect.
