Questions

Honest answers

Still curious? Ask us anything — we love talking about bees.

  • MGO stands for Methylglyoxal — a naturally occurring compound found in mānuka honey. The number is the minimum mg of MGO per kilogram, independently tested by an MPI-recognised laboratory. 700+ sits in our premium potency tier.

  • Yes. Every batch is traceable to a specific apiary in Aotearoa New Zealand, harvested by beekeepers we know by name. The batch reference on each jar links back to its origin and certification.

  • MGO and UMF are related but not interchangeable grading systems. MGO measures methylglyoxal directly; UMF bundles multiple authenticity markers including leptosperin and DHA. We publish MGO because it's the cleanest single number to compare.

  • Straight off the spoon, stirred into warm (not hot) water with lemon, or layered onto sourdough. Avoid boiling — heat above 40°C degrades the active compounds.

  • Yes — we ship worldwide from New Zealand with full export documentation. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on destination.
