Manuka honey is a special type of honey from New Zealand, produced by bees that gather nectar from the Manuka bush. Manuka honey is especially known for its naturally high content of the natural active compound MGO, which sets it apart from regular honey.
Manuka honey is known for its natural content of MGO (methylglyoxal), which occurs naturally in Manuka honey.
The MGO level is used to indicate and document the honey’s strength and is one of
the characteristics that distinguishes Manuka honey from regular honey.
Holger Rune x Manuka Doctor´s Manuka honey is selected with a focus on purity, and uncompromising quality.
All honey is natural, but Manuka is something special. Genuine Manuka honey is produced in New Zealand and contains naturally high levels of MGO.
You could call it the elite of honey.
The strength is measured in MGO:
540 MGO → suitable for everyday use
1000 MGO → a higher and more concentrated MGO strength
The higher the MGO number, the higher the concentration of MGO and typically the more rare and sought-after the honey.
MGO stands for Methylglyoxal and is the most important natural compound used to measure the strength of Manuka honey.
The higher the MGO, the higher the concentration, and the more exclusive the product.
Always look for:
✔ official MGO classification
✔ origin from New Zealand
✔ batch testing
✔ clear traceability
HVNR Health meets all international quality standards and is therefore also one of the most widely used Manuka honeys.
Most people use 1-2 teaspoons of Manuka honey daily as part of their routine. High MGO is typically used for shorter periods.
A 250-gram jar equals approximately 35-40 teaspoons, depending on how full a spoon you use (approximately 7 g per teaspoon).
Manuka honey is produced in only a few places in the world and is harvested under strict quality requirements.
The limited production, due to the short flowering period, combined with certification and testing for MGO, makes Manuka honey one of the most exclusive honey types globally.
Manuka honey typically has a darker color than regular honey, a deeper amber. The color can vary depending on the batch and MGO level.
Manuka honey is often more creamy and thicker than regular liquid honey. It has a dense, smooth and slightly spreadable consistency, rather than being completely liquid or completely hard
It is a natural sign of quality that Manuka crystallizes. Crystallization is a sign of a natural and unprocessed honey.
Manuka honey with higher MGO often has a more intense and distinctive flavor.
Many professional athletes use Manuka honey as a natural part of their daily routine. It is a 100% natural product without additives that contains carbohydrates. Athletes typically travel a lot and live in an active and at times stressful environment, and therefore prefer natural products over processed foods.
At HVNR the focus is simple: Purity. Strength. Performance.
