Manuka-Honig (MGO 100+) NPA 5

Manuka honey has been studied for decades across laboratory, clinical, and health-system settings. 

These describe the research landscape on honey/Manuka across each area.

Wound & skin care (medical-grade dressings)

• Big evidence reviews find that honey dressings can speed healing for partial-thickness burns and some infected post-op wounds. Cochrane+1
• UK summaries on advanced/antimicrobial dressings (includes honey) discuss where they may fit in chronic wound care. NICE+1

Sore throat & cough (URTI self-care)

• UK NICE lists honey as a first-line self-care option for acute cough in people over 1 year, based on trials showing small symptom improvements. NICE
• A BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine meta-analysis reports honey improved URTI symptoms versus usual care; a Cochrane review supports benefit for children’s acute cough. BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine+1

Oral health (plaque/gingivitis)

• A pilot RCT using a chewable Manuka found reductions in plaque and gingival bleeding vs control over 21 days. ハイマート
• A randomised field trial in schoolchildren showed Manuka-based mouthwash reduced plaque and gingival scores Europe PMC

Gut health (prebiotic)

• Dr Patricia L. Conway led an Australian (RIRDC/AgriFutures) report concluding some Australian honeys show prebiotic properties—supporting beneficial gut microbes. AgriFutures Australia
• Conway co-authored overviews highlighting prebiotic potential (lab, animal and early human work) and pathways for future clinical studies. APIMONDIA+1

Immunity (immunomodulation)

• Reviews summarise immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects of honey/bee-product polyphenols; human evidence exists but is heterogeneous and protocol-dependent. MDPI+1

Energy / exercise fueling

• In a randomised crossover cycling trial, honey gel performed similarly to dextrose for a 64-km time-trial. Europe PMC
• Narrative/systematic reviews conclude honey can serve as a viable carbohydrate source in some endurance protocols. ScienceDirect

Strep & MRSA: 

• Manuka has lab-demonstrated activity against Streptococcus pyogenes and MRSA, including biofilms. In healthcare, sterile medical-grade honey dressings are used for certain wounds. Europe PMC+2Wounds UK+2

Hospitals use sterile, regulated medical-grade honey dressings supported by clinical evidence and device approvals. Our jars are food: independently MGO-tested and batch-traceable, but not intended to treat diseases or replace medical care.

Important: Not suitable for infants under 12 months

Honey can naturally contain spores of Clostridium botulinum. Infants under 12 months do not yet have mature gut defences to prevent these spores from germinating and producing toxin (infant botulism). Heating or pasteurising honey does not reliably eliminate spores, so please avoid giving honey—or foods containing honey—to babies under one year. From 12 months onward, honey is generally safe for healthy children and adults.

Allergen information

100% Australian Manuka honey (Contains: honey). No added nuts, dairy, gluten, soy or sesame. Honey naturally contains trace pollen and other bee-derived constituents—do not consume if you are allergic to bee products (honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly). If you have specific allergies or dietary concerns, consult a healthcare professional.

Enjoy our Everyday Healing honey range with food such as toast and muesli or use it as healthy sweetener alternative.

Avoid heating or cooking to preserve the raw honey's natural bioactive constituents and health benefits.

Add any Manuka Honey with a Healing and Hyper-potent MGO 600+ rating to your first aid kit to receive its exceptional benefits when taken internally or applied externally to the skin. Explore the many advantages of manuka honey MGO600+ benefits for holistic health and wellness.

All of our MGO honey is best consumed simply by the teaspoon.

Gather By honey is sourced from healthy honeybees foraging on biodiverse Australian Leptospermum plants, grown in partnership with Australian farmers and Traditional Owners to produce naturally pure, raw and potent Manuka honey.    

All honey is packed in Australia with each jar security coded to guarantee provenance, authentic contents and full traceability. Register your jar via the QR code on the back to receive this guarantee.    

To optimise MGO levels and preserve the raw honey’s natural bioactive constituents, our honey is stored in a controlled temperature environment. 

The effectiveness of Manuka honey is measured by Methylglyoxal (MGO) in mg/kg. The higher the MGO level the more effective the medicinal and antibacterial qualities of the Manuka medicinal honey.

Our honey is tested by independent laboratories to guarantee its MGO level and other quality markers.

All our honey is dispatched from our warehouse runny and fresh, however, crystallisation can happen eventually to pure and raw honey.

There are things you can do to prevent or prolong this process though, which includes storing the honey out of direct sunlight, between 10 - 22°C, and keeping the lid tight to avoid moisture getting in.

We send your Manuka out the day we get your order. 

We can express post or use Standard shipping for all orders Domestic and International.
