Q. How does MGO compare to UMF? This is an active honey with anti-microbial properties and rich in antioxidants but it's under 100MGO. There is no official rating for MGO under 100, so this honey's active properties are unable to be officially rated. Q. Can you heat the Manuka without destroying its benefits? Yes you can heat the honey; we understand it maintains its properties despite the high temperatures. Manuka is not degraded by heat or light, and more importantly, unlike the antibacterial agents in normal honey, those in Manuka honey are not destroyed by the body's enzymes. Q. Why does the Super Manuka sometimes crystallise? Honey is a super-saturated solution packed with natural sugars called glucose and fructose. The higher the glucose level in the honey, the quicker it will crystallize. It's still honey, but just in a solid form. Many commercial honey packagers pasteurize their honey (heat treat), which inhibits the crystallization process but also kills a lot of the natural goodness! The Super Manuka honey is not pasteurized therefore has the potential to crystalise sooner. Honey also changes consistency depending on storage temperature. To maintain a liquid state, leave a room temperature. Q. How much Manuka should you take each day? In the case of a normal balanced diet, no more than 10 teaspoons of honey (which is about 50ml) per day. This is formulated based on advice from some trusted honey stores, and not based on any medical point of view backed by scientific data. The amount of honey considered to be optimum depends a whole lot on a person's diet and lifestyle. Q. What is the best way to use the 120++ Super Manuka? The 120 is really the 3 times a day range, more prevention, mild irritations, coughs, colds and flu. Q. What is the best way to use the 550++ Super Manuka? The stronger 550 is for those with heavy symptoms and great for sores – wound care application as well. Q. How do you use Super Manuka topically for wounds?
