Manuka honey has long since established itself as a superfood and natural wonder weapon. For many people, one term is in the foreground: MGO 400But what is behind this number and why is it worth thinking outside the box?
The Truth About MGO 400
MGO stands for Methylglyoxal, the substance that gives Manuka honey its special antibacterial properties. MGO 400 is undoubtedly well known and widely used, not least because large corporations produce this starch and establish it as a standard. But it is a misconception that MGO 400 is the only or even the best option.
The world of Manuka honey is diverse, and choosing the right MGO- strength depends largely on individual needs. Each manufacturer has its own philosophy and special products – as well Waikura Manuka.
MGO – Discovering the diversity of strengths
Waikura Manuka deliberately takes a different approach and offers a carefully curated selection of MGO- strengths:
- MGO 140: Perfect for daily enjoyment or to gently support well-being. Ideal for people who want to experience the natural benefits of Manuka honey in a mild way.
- MGO 265: An excellent choice for supporting the immune system, especially during cold season.
- MGO 525: Strong enough to effectively fight bacteria in the throat, mouth and even stomach. Even when it comes into contact with stomach acid, it remains potent and supports stomach-intestinal-health.
- MGO 700: A real powerhouse for targeted applications against stubborn bacteria – in the throat, mouth or stomach. Thanks to its high concentration, it remains effective even in difficult environments.
Why Diversity is Worth It
Each MGO- strength has its specific uses and benefits. While Manuka Honey 400 MGO may be a good all-purpose solution, that doesn't mean it's universally the best choice. Waikura Manuka offers a bespoke selection to suit customers' individual needs.
For the neck and mouth area: The antibacterial properties of Manuka honey can help soothe irritated areas and fight bacteria. Both MGO 265 and the higher strengths such as MGO 525 and 700 are ideal for these purposes.
For the stomach: Highly concentrated MGO- strengths such as 525 and 700 are particularly effective for stomach problems because they retain their antibacterial effect even when in contact with stomach acid.
Conclusion: Thinking beyond MGO 400
Concentrating on a single strength such as Manuka Honey 400 MGO does not do justice to the variety and possibilities of Manuka honey. Waikura Manuka shows that there is more than just one standard. With our selection of MGO- strengths, we offer honey for every need– whether for everyday life, the cold season or targeted support in the stomach-intestinal-tract.
