MGO in Manuka Honey?

MGO, short for methylglyoxal, is the key compound that gives Manuka honey its powerful antibacterial properties. Naturally formed from a precursor called dihydroxyacetone (DHA) found in Manuka flower nectar, MGO is what sets this honey apart from other varieties. The higher the MGO rating—measured in milligrams per kilogram—the stronger the honey’s antimicrobial activity, making it especially valued for wound care, immune support, and digestive health
