Pure, Potent, and Uncompromised
Medicinal Manuka Honey
Our Medicinal Manuka Honey is carefully handled to preserve its powerful health properties at every stage. From extraction to bottling, we maintain the highest standards to ensure purity and potency.
Harvested with care, the honey is extracted in a temperature-controlled environment and placed in a settling tank, allowing any natural wax and impurities to gently separate. Once settled, it is poured directly into sterilised glass jars—completely untouched by heat or filtration.
Because we never heat or overly process our honey, you may notice occasional traces of organic matter—a true sign of its raw, natural state. This meticulous approach ensures that every jar retains the full spectrum of Manuka’s renowned medicinal benefits, just as nature intended.
Understanding MGO Ratings
The Measure of Potency in Manuka Honey
Methylglyoxal (MGO) levels determine the strength of Manuka Honey's antibacterial properties.
- MGO 30+: Suitable for daily use and general health maintenance.
- MGO 83+: Assists in healthy immune support, ideal for boosting your immune system.
- MGO 263+: Offers strong antibacterial properties, supporting health and immune functions.
Higher MGO levels indicate greater antibacterial strength, making the honey more suitable for therapeutic uses.
Quality Assurance
Independently Tested for Guaranteed Potency
Our Manuka Honey is independently tested by laboratories at the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) in Queensland, Australia, to accurately determine its MGO potency. This rigorous testing ensures that you receive a product of the highest quality and efficacy.
