MGO 826 Manuka Honey Some Manuka honey contains a powerful ingredient called Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) in addition to the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial substances found in other honeys and is widely used for health promotion or treatment. These two substances have a synergistic effect that enhances each other's effectiveness. 

 

Methylglyoxal is a natural organic compound found only in honey collected from the Manuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium), which grows natively in some parts of New Zealand. MGO is an important indicator of the unique antibacterial and therapeutic effects that only Manuka honey has. 

 

The MGO concentration of Manuka honey may vary depending on the honey's maturation period, storage conditions, and harvesting time. The level of MGO is directly related to the potency and effectiveness of Manuka honey. Manuka honey is graded according to its MGO content, as higher MGO levels have increasingly stronger antibacterial and therapeutic effects. For example, MGO 100+ or ​​less indicates that it contains methylglyoxal at a level that is helpful for health promotion, while MGO 500+ or ​​higher indicates that it is a pharmaceutical-grade product with strong healing effects.

 

Effects of MGO

MGO exhibits strong antibacterial activity and also has antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects. Manuka honey with MGO can: 

 

  • Antibacterial action:

 

Bactericidal action:

MGO modifies intracellular protein components of bacteria. When proteins are denatured, cell function is impaired and cells die. In particular, it acts directly on Helicobacter pylori bacteria that live in the stomach and has a strong sterilizing effect.

Inhibition of proliferation: 

 

MGO inhibits bacterial growth and replication, preventing the spread of infection. It has an inhibitory effect on the growth of various bacteria, including Helicobacter pylori in the stomach and antibiotic-resistant strains that live in the intestines.
