Why Manuka Honey?
Raw Manuka honey is unlike any other—it contains a range of beneficial bioactive compounds, including MGO (methylglyoxal), the powerful natural compound responsible for its remarkable antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties.

Understanding MGO
MGO stands for Methylglyoxal — the naturally occurring compound that gives Manuka honey its powerful antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties. It’s formed from DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a compound found only in the nectar of Manuka plants.

My Personal Experience with Gather By Manuka Honey
My personal experience with Manuka honey has been deeply meaningful and has played an important role in my journey towards a better quality of life.
Before taking Manuka honey, I experienced severe nervous system hypersensitivity. At night, my sensitivity to fabrics would become so heightened that sleep was almost impossible.
Since introducing Manuka honey, I have been able to sleep peacefully through the night and once again enjoy spending time in my garden. Both have become peaceful experiences.
Another significant change I have experienced is a reduction in my histamine-related responses. In my personal experience, Manuka honey has been key to this improvement.
For anyone interested in the MGO strengths I used throughout my journey:
• 600 MGO: This was effective for me initially, with noticeable symptom reduction and improvements in sleep.. But additional support was needed for real improvement
• 1200–2000 MGO: I moved to these higher strengths, which I found particularly beneficial during periods of more severe symptoms, [hystamine adreanal surging].. I remained within this range as my symptoms gradually diminished.
• 900 MGO: I now take this strength daily.
My personal routine has included taking it in the morning on an empty stomach this helped early morning high histamine responses, and approximately one hour before bed to reduce night hypersensitivities.
If you're living with Lyme disease or Lyme-like illness, hypersensitivities, mast cell disorders, chronic fatigue or mould-related sensitivities, I encourage you to look into Gather By Manuka..
For me, I would call this success in a bottle!
Thank you many kind regards and well wishes.. you have been an amazing place to deal with.
Kind regards
I will be purchasing again. I can feel the healing affects, especially with reflux, it is nowhere near as bad since take the Gatherby Manuka Honey.
Years ago my remaining Ridgeback - he with the un ridgie personality of a kelpie ---- kept opening a stitched wound on his flank. By the 6th time == having tried all - vet said here is script for Manuka honey. I bought a Canadian full body snow suit for him, applied m/honey several times daily to awful and by now large raw wound and Walllah ---- it healed little by little ... never got alll the fur back but soooooo brilliant.
This product has helped me stop coughing so I am happy with the outcome
I bought the Gummies just to try them. Some of my friends mentioned they were able to sleep better. I have an inflamatory problem that affects my sleep pattern. I am surprised that the Manuka Honey helps so much. I will be giving my brothers and sisters your product for a gift. Im in my late 70s and have struggled with inflammation for for yesrs. Thank you for a great product.
I have only consumed half of the 300 + so far with breakfast and before bed i find that it has a beautiful texture and taste, very morish and i am sure as time goes on i will benefit greatly from Manuka, both consuming and applying when required. Thankyou .
Very good results
I thought the MG 300 was beautiful,I could never eat honey off the the spoon but this honey I can it has a magnificent flavour.I have it on my crumpet every day for breakfast.I’ve not yet tried MG900 I will probably finish the 300 first.
Have constant cough, been using inhalers for many years, started using Manuka honey and to my amazement cough is now subsiding, if this keeps up it will be amazing.
I’ve been taking a tea spoon of 900 every morning and I must say I have more energy and less symptoms of my Parkinson’s. I also have been putting 300 on my midge bites which are a daily problem where I live and to my pleasure great relief and highly recommend both products
Purchased 3 pack and definitely recommend.
I've only used the 1200 so far, ½teaspoon twice daily.
First dose IMMEDIATELY relieved a dry throat and husky voice I've had all my life.
I'm very pleased with that product, but haven't tried the rest yet.
Love the gummies
Purchases the 3 pack I gave 2 away to someone who has a bad cough. He said he was very happy with the product and seems to ease his cough.
Gummies are great and easy to take where ever one goes.

Manuka honey is a unique and highly prized type of honey that comes from the nectar of various Manuka bushes, particularly those rich in Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). While New Zealand is known for its single variety of Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium), Australia is home to over 15 different varieties of high-active Manuka bushes, all contributing to the production of this exceptional honey.
Manuka honey stands out due to its high levels of Methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound responsible for its potent antibacterial effects. Unlike regular honey, which relies mainly on hydrogen peroxide for its antibacterial activity, Manuka honey’s effectiveness is attributed to its non-peroxide activity, ensuring it remains effective even when hydrogen peroxide is neutralized.
MGO stands for Methylglyoxal, a naturally occurring compound found in Manuka honey. MGO is the primary factor that gives Manuka honey its unique and potent antibacterial properties, setting it apart from other types of honey.
Methylglyoxal is important because it is a robust antibacterial agent that remains stable over time, even when exposed to heat and light. This stability means that Manuka honey retains its antibacterial properties and effectiveness longer than other honeys, which rely mainly on hydrogen peroxide for their antibacterial activity.
The concentration of MGO in Manuka honey is measured in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg). The higher the MGO rating, the stronger the antibacterial properties of the honey. For example, an MGO rating of 100 means there are at least 100 milligrams of Methylglyoxal per kilogram of honey.
DHA stands for Dihydroxyacetone, a naturally occurring compound found in the nectar of Manuka flowers. DHA is the precursor to Methylglyoxal (MGO), the compound that gives Manuka honey its unique and potent antibacterial properties.
The UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) rating is a trademarked term used predominantly in New Zealand to measure the antibacterial strength of Manuka honey. This rating system was developed and is regulated by the Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association (UMFHA) of New Zealand, which holds the patent for this specific measurement.
The UMF rating measures the Non-Peroxide Activity (NPA) in Manuka honey. NPA refers to the antibacterial activity that is not related to hydrogen peroxide, a common antibacterial agent in most other types of honey. Like in Australia, the UMF rating also considers the presence of other important markers like Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and leptosperin, ensuring the honey’s authenticity and potency.
