The True Honey Co.

What is Mānuka Honey?

Mānuka honey is a rare, single-origin honey made from the nectar of the Mānuka bush, native to New Zealand. Unlike standard honey, it contains naturally high levels of MGO (methylglyoxal) — the compound that gives it its unique antibacterial properties. The higher the MGO rating, the more potent the honey. The True Honey Co. produces some of the highest-rated Mānuka honey in the world, with MGO levels reaching over 2000+ from remote, untouched regions of New Zealand.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What is MGO and why does it matter?

MGO (methylglyoxal) is the naturally occurring compound that gives Mānuka honey its unique antibacterial properties. The higher the MGO rating, the more potent the honey. It's the key marker used to measure the strength and quality of genuine Mānuka honey.

What is the difference between MGO and UMF™ ratings?

Both measure the quality and potency of Mānuka honey but in slightly different ways. MGO measures the concentration of methylglyoxal directly, while UMF™ (Unique Mānuka Factor) is a broader grading system that tests for multiple natural markers including MGO, leptosperin, and HMF. The True Honey Co. products carry both ratings for full transparency.

How should I take Mānuka honey?

The simplest way is a teaspoon straight from the jar each morning. You can also stir it into warm water or herbal tea, add it to smoothies, or use it as a natural spread. For best results, take it consistently as part of your daily routine.

How is Mānuka honey different from regular honey?

Regular honey is primarily valued for its taste. Mānuka honey contains naturally high levels of MGO (methylglyoxal), a powerful antibacterial compound not found in meaningful levels in standard honey. This is what gives Mānuka its unique health properties — from immune support and digestive comfort to soothing sore throats. It can only be produced in New Zealand, where the Mānuka bush grows natively.
