MGO vs UMF

Is MGO equivalent to UMF™?

No, UMF™ is more comprehensive measurement of the quality factors that matter when assessing the quality of a manuka honey product. MGO is one of four factors measured to ensure consumers around the world get a pure potent genuine New Zealand manuka honey product that will meet their needs and expectations.

Rare New Zealand honey is sustainably harvested, then carefully stored and processed with the least possible interference to ensure the honey retains its unique natural properties. We are committed to providing assurances to global customers by independently testing and certifying the purity, potency, authenticity and quality of Rare New Zealand manuka honey. Every jar carries the trusted certifications of the New Zealand FernMark and the UMFHA which utilises modern technology to ensure proof of origin and authenticity.

Anti-viral Properties of Manuka Honey

According to scientific evidence, there is a strong link between Manuka Honey and killing the influenza (flu) virus. Scientists who have studied the antiviral effects of honey have reported strong anti-influenza activity with manuka honey. Led by Professor Ken Watanabe from Nagasaki University in Japan, a team of expert scientists endeavored to discover and study all the amazing benefits of this God-given honey. According to the findings documented in the reports, honey stopped the replication of the flu virus.

"Manuka honey efficiently inhibited influenza virus replication (IC50 = 3.6 ± 1.2 mg/mL; CC50 = 82.3 ± 2.2 mg/mL; selective index = 22.9), which is related to its virucidal effects. In the presence of 3.13 mg/mL manuka honey, the IC50 of zanamivir or oseltamivir was reduced to nearly 1/1000th of their single use." - Ken Watanabe and Team 

When the influenza virus was pre-treated with manuka honey before the cells were infected, the virus was nullified and was reported inactive.

“Influenza viruses are a serious threat to human health. Thus, there is an urgent requirement for the development of novel anti-influenza virus drugs,” explained Prof Watanabe.

“Natural honey has been reported to exhibit antiviral activities against rubella virus and varicella-zoster virus and is used to treat recurrent herpes simplex lesions.”

Further reporting in Professor Watanabe's documentation strongly suggested the interaction between anti-viral medicines and the effects of honey.

What's the Difference Between UMF and MGO?

The rating comprised of four components

MGO FOR POTENCY - Methylglyoxal, is measured and included within the UMF™ guarantee meaning that you can be sure that Manuka honey bearing the UMF™ mark contains the special activity.

LEPTOSPERIN FOR AUTHENTICITY - Leptosperin is a compound found only in manuka flower nectar and can only be created by nature. Measuring this unique component ensures the authenticity of manuka honey. Laboratory research also shows leptosperin content has anti-inflammatory properties that grows as the UMF™ scale increases.

DHA FOR SHELF LIFE - Dihydroxyacetone (as it’s known to us) is slowly converted to MGO in healthy living honey. The higher the DHA content, the longer the life of the MGO content in your manuka honey – which is why the best manuka honey must have more than 70 mg/kg DHA to be UMF™ certified.

HMF FOR FRESHNESS - We test for hydroxymethylfurfural, since this long-named compound assures honey has not been overheated or stored too long, and is in the best condition to maintain the unique blend of living properties in manuka honey as promised by Rare New Zealand.

The rating comprising of a single component Methylglyoxal, to give it its full name, is a key source of golden manuka honey’s special antibacterial properties and an important potency measure. The higher the MGO, the stronger the concentration of Methylglyoxal.

If there is no MGO or UMF rating stated on the label, then the honey has not been tested and certified. It is wise to be wary of labels that include the word ‘Manuka’ without an industry-accepted rating.
