MGO 100+ Manuka Honey – The Perfect Starting Point

MGO 100+ Manuka Honey – The Perfect Starting Point

Why MGO 100+ Is the Best Starter Manuka Honey

 

Thinking about trying Manuka honey for the first time? You’re not alone — and it can be tricky knowing where to begin.

That’s why we always recommend starting with MGO 100+. It’s smooth, accessible, and still packs the natural strength that makes Manuka honey so sought-after.

Let’s break down why it’s such a good entry point.

What Is MGO 100+?

MGO stands for methylglyoxal, the naturally occurring compound that gives Manuka honey its unique antibacterial properties.

The number indicates the strength. MGO 100+ means the honey contains at least 100 milligrams of methylglyoxal per kilogram — making it lab-tested and active, without being overpowering in taste or cost.

Why It’s Great for First-Time Users

Here’s what makes MGO 100+ ideal if you’re just starting out:

  • Gentler taste – smooth and slightly earthy, without the intense medicinal flavour higher grades can have

  • Mild potency – supportive enough for everyday wellbeing

  • Versatile use – easy to take by the spoon, mix into tea, or stir through breakfast

  • Budget-friendly – great value for an authentic, tested Manuka honey

You still get the purity and quality that defines Gold Fern Honey — just in a more approachable form.

When and How to Take It

We recommend:

  • 1 teaspoon daily, ideally on an empty stomach

  • Stir into warm (not boiling) herbal tea

  • Or add to yoghurt, smoothies, or oats for an easy boost

Consistency is key — a daily spoonful is a simple way to build it into your wellness routine.

Still Lab-Tested, Still Traceable

Just like our higher MGO levels, every jar of MGO 100+ is:

  • Tested by an independent lab for MGO strength and quality

  • Traceable via QR code to your batch’s test results and harvest info

  • Raw, unblended, and 100% New Zealand origin

So while it may be the “entry level” option, it’s still held to the same standard as everything else we offer.

Final Thoughts

Manuka honey doesn’t need to be intense to be effective. If you're looking for a clean, natural starting point — something to support everyday wellbeing — MGO 100+ is a great way in.

It’s a small shift with long-term benefits, and a perfect introduction to the world of real Manuka honey.
