In this article, we will review the types of Manuka honey and the differences between them so that you can buy the honey that is right for you without any hassle.

Types of original Manuka honey

The types of original Manuka honey differ based on two important elements:

1- MGO element

2- UMF mark

What is the difference between MGO and UMF?

There are many Manuka honey products on the market. To differentiate between them, you need to understand the different types of Manuka honey and the meaning of the numbers on the package label. This will help you be certain that your choice of this type of honey is the right one. Here are the details:

MGO Manuka Honey

• It is an abbreviation for the chemical compound “Methylglyoxal” in its natural form, which is a natural antibiotic that works to fight bacteria and oxidation.
• The number written next to MGO on the honey label indicates the number of milligrams of the active ingredient found in each kilogram of Manuka honey. For example, MGO 829 indicates the presence of 829 milligrams of the antibacterial and antioxidant active ingredient in every kilogram of honey.

What are the benefits of MGO in Manuka honey?

Many people who want to try Manuka honey wonder about the benefits of MGO in Manuka honey. Quite simply, the higher the MGO content in Manuka honey, the more effective it is at killing bacteria. The symbols and numbers on honey labels do not reflect the honey's quality or its credibility regarding its beneficial nutritional content. The MGO index indicates the concentration of the compound Methylglyoxal. A certain concentration of MGO has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth, and its use in treating gastrointestinal, skin, and complexion infections is effective and beneficial.

UMF Manuka Honey

• UMF is a New Zealand organization that tests and inspects Manuka honey and measures many of its elements, the most important of which is MGO.
• The symbol UMF stands for “Unique Manuka Factor.”
• The New Zealand Honey Association, part of the New Zealand Ministry of Industry, developed this standard to determine the quality of honey by measuring the concentration of MGO. If you see this mark, it confirms the presence of the ingredients listed on the label.
• UMF ratings are based on the presence of a specific concentration of certain natural elements such as methylglyoxal (MGO) and leptosperin.

UMF mark

The UMF label also indicates the quality of the honey and other factors it may have been exposed to during production, such as heating, moisture content, whether it comes from the Manuka flower alone or from multiple flowers, and many other factors that can reduce the quality and therapeutic effectiveness of the honey.

What does it mean if the MGO mark is present without the UMF mark?

Most likely, these honey containers containing the MGO symbol without the UMF label are non-certified by the New Zealand organization, meaning they have been tested in private laboratories or have not been tested at all. Therefore, it is important to note the necessity of purchasing Manuka honey that contains the UMF label to ensure that you are purchasing authentic honey that has been laboratory-tested by an official authority. The difference in manuka honey concentrations has shown that the percentages of active ingredients found in each honey container vary greatly. In general, the UMF label always indicates that the selected variety of manuka honey is authentic and laboratory-tested.
