Manuka Honey 448-730 MGO

Manuka honeyis a special type of honey made from the nectar of the Manuka plant (Leptospermum scoparium), which grows in New Zealand and parts of Australia. It is known for its strong antibacterial properties that distinguish it from other types of honey. This unique effect is mainly due to the active ingredientMethylglyoxal (MGO)returned.

Ingredients:

Manuka honey contains the typical components of honey, but stands out due to its high content of MGO and other bioactive substances:

1. carbohydrates(mainly fructose and glucose)
2. Water
3. Methylglyoxal (MGO)– The main component responsible for the antibacterial properties. The MGO content can vary greatly, often between 100 mg/kg to over 1000 mg/kg, depending on the quality.
4. dihydroxyacetone (DHA)– A precursor to MGO found in the nectar of the Manuka flower.
5. enzymes(e.g. glucose oxidase)
6. amino acids(like proline)
7. Vitamins:
8. Minerals:
9. antioxidants(mainly flavonoids and polyphenols)
10. phenolsand other bioactive compounds
