MGO 83+

Table-grade Manuka honey for daily sweetener and general wellness.

MGO 83+ means a minimum methylglyoxal (MGO) concentration of 83 mg/kg — the compound behind Manuka honey's non-peroxide antibacterial activity. This entry-level potency (equivalent to UMF 5+ certification) suits everyday use as a daily sweetener with mild antibacterial properties, and is a good starting point for those new to Manuka honey.
