About MGO & UMF
MGO and UMF are two different honey grading systems. Both measure the levels of some of the compounds that make manuka honey special and give it its unique properties.
Both the indicators can help you determine what kind and strength of honey would best serve your purpose.
Both MGO and UMF indicate the quality and potency of raw manuka honey but there are some main differences between the two.
MGO stands for methylglyoxal, the main active compound that makes manuka honey special and gives it its curative properties. The MGO number indicates the levels of methylglyoxal present in manuka honey. That’s why it’s used as an indicator of quality. The higher the MGO rating, the better the quality of the honey.
UMF or Unique Manuka Factor is another way to measure the strength of manuka honey. This grading system takes into account the levels of other compounds in addition to the levels of methylglyoxal. The UMF is an indicator of the quality as well as purity of manuka honey.
Is MGO or UMF Better?
Both MGO and UMF measure different things so they cannot be directly compared. Both can be useful in determining the potency and quality of manuka honey.
What Level of Manuka Honey is Best?
Premium high strength manuka honey (with higher MGO or UMF values) is loaded with methylglyoxal, which gives it its antimicrobial properties.
Raw high-strength manuka honey is better for therapeutic use, topical application, and cosmetic purposes since it is more potent.
If you are taking manuka honey for health reasons, using medium-grade honey might work best for you
