How to use:
For maximum potency, enjoy your mānuka honey on its own in the morning or evening, as a gentle support to your body and immune system. One raw spoonful (20g) a day can do wonders!
It is important to remember that mānuka honey’s antibacterial and other beneficial properties get damaged when the honey is exposed to high temperatures. This is why it’s best to eat your mānuka honey raw, or as a topping on cold or room temperature foods, instead of mixing it with hot drinks.
More information:
This special honey has been Māori people’s well-known elixir for centuries, thanks to its healing properties. The word mānuka is the Māori name for the wondrous tea tree bush whose nectar produces this golden treasure of nature: mānuka honey. With a gentle yet potent MGO value of 250, Inika’s Manuka Honey MGO 250 can offer the perfect everyday support to your immune system.
Even though the Māori have been putting mānuka honey’s powers to good use for centuries, it was only quite recently that scientists finally were able to identify the “magic” ingredient that makes mānuka so powerful, beneficial and unique compared to other honey varieties: Methylglyoxal or “MGO”.
MGO is a powerful antibacterial compound not found in regular honey, but found in relative abundance in honey made from mānuka tree nectar. When looking at a honey’s MGO values, it’s good to remember that the higher the MGO value, the rarer, more valuable and more effective the honey – the darker in colour and richer in taste it is too!
What about “NPA”? It is a unit developed to measure the antibacterial properties when in relation to the honey’s MGO value, and the hydrogen peroxide (yes, the effective antibacterial substance) activity. For the science geeks, the NPA or “non-peroxide activity” unit assigns an equivalent value to disinfectant phenol solutions. For example, NPA 10+ has an antibacterial effect equivalent to a 10% phenol solution, NPA 12.5+ is as strong as a 12.5% phenol solution, and so on.
In sum, MGO and NPA values and their relationship with one another are used to evaluate mānuka honey and its antibacterial properties.
