Manuka Honey: what does MGO 250+ mean
Manuka honey comes from New Zealand, from the flowers of the eponymous tree. It has been traditionally used by the Maori for its remarkable benefits. The short flowering period of the Manuka tree makes it a rare and exceptional raw material for honey, which is why it is considered one of the most valuable honeys in the world.
What sets it apart from common honey is methylglyoxal (MGO), a natural substance found in high levels in Manuka. On Manuka honey packages you will often see an MGO number: the higher it is, the richer the honey is in methylglyoxal. The Manuka honey of Forte Royal has a MGO content of at least 250mg per kilo of honey, which gives it, according to the manufacturer, unique effectiveness and properties. It is a high quality honey.
Propolis, Wildflower Honey and Chamomile
In addition to Manuka, the spray contains:
- Brown propolis: a natural substance derived from resins of bark, wax and pollen, collected and transformed by bees to disinfect the entire hive and protect it from the external environment.
- Wildflower honey: which complements Manuka honey and soothes the throat.
- Chamomile: the well-known soothing herb.
* Chamomile helps in the natural soothing of the throat.
