MGO measures methylglyoxal concentration. UMF™ also assesses additional quality markers and is exclusive to certified New Zealand Mānuka honey. For a more in depth explanation of what MGO & UMF are, visit our blog below.
Our Point Of Difference
Australian Vs. New Zealand Manuka
The biggest point of difference between the two is the greater diversity in Manuka-producing plants in Australia. We're home to 80+ native species of the Leptospermum (flowering plant bees collect nectar from to make Manuka), versus only the one species in New Zealand.
So, what does that actually mean? Well, a broader range of species equals a broader range of bioactive compounds found in each jar of Australian Manuka. It's also responsible for greater diversity in strength, flavour, colour and character - characteristics that make for a better spoonful of honey in our eyes.

Regenerate Australia With us
Since the start of 2026, we've partnered with Regenerate Australia to help give back to our community. We recognise that without native flora, there will be no native bees. Without native bees, our entire eco-system will be in danger. And that's a cycle that we want to prevent. So, for each jar of honey sold on our website, we donate to Regenerate Australia and help contribute to the following

Restoring native ecosystems

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is your Manuka sourced from?
Our honey is harvested from the unpolluted environment of the Australian Leptospermum Polygalifolium plant on the East Coast of Australia. It's pure, additive free & scientifically tested by a third-party laboratory for its purity & Methylglyoxal (MGO) content.
What is Manuka honey?
Manuka honey is a type of medicinal honey made by bees that forage on the nectar of the Manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium), native to Australia and New Zealand. What makes it unique is its naturally high concentration of MGO (Methylglyoxal) — a bioactive compound responsible for Manuka's powerful antibacterial and antioxidant properties.
What Is MGO In Manuka Honey?
MGO stands for Methylglyoxal — the key compound that gives Manuka honey its powerful antibacterial and healing properties. Naturally formed from the nectar of the Manuka bush, MGO is what sets Manuka honey apart from all other types of honey.
The higher the MGO number (like MGO 85+, 550+, or 800+), the stronger the bioactive activity. In Australia, MGO is used as a trusted indicator of quality and potency — especially when choosing Manuka honey for immune support, wound care, or digestive health.
Is Manuka Honey good for you?
Yes — Manuka honey has been scientifically researched for decades for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Its key bioactive compound, MGO, has been shown in studies to help inhibit harmful bacteria, support immune function, and assist with tissue repair.
Whether used internally or topically, it's a trusted natural remedy backed by science — and widely used in Australia for everything from throat health to digestive support and skin healing.
Why Is Manuka honey so expensive?
Manuka honey is more expensive than regular honey due to its rarity, short harvest window, and the strict testing required to confirm its authenticity and potency. It can only be produced in regions where the Manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium) naturally grows, making supply limited and highly seasonal.
Each genuine batch is independently tested for MGO levels and purity to verify its antibacterial strength. At Natural Life, our Manuka honey is batch-tested and certified, so you can trust you're getting the real deal.
Is Manuka honey good for a sore throat?
Yes. Manuka honey can help soothe and coat a dry, irritated throat, while its naturally occurring antibacterial and antioxidant properties provide additional support. For convenient, targeted relief, try our Propolis & Manuka Honey Throat Spray - made with propolis and MGO 280+ Manuka honey to relieve sore throats and support immune health.
