Which MGO Level Should You Buy?

A quick way to match an MGO level to how you plan to use the honey. This is a shopping guide, not medical advice. The links are affiliate links, and our affiliate policy explains how we earn from them.

Jars We List, by Label Rating

These are the jars the picker points to, plus the others in our price guide. The rating is the number printed on the label. Ratings come from the brands, and we have not lab-tested any jar.

Food jar, not wound dressing: Honey from a food jar, including every jar below, is not sterile and is not a wound dressing. Honey made for wounds is a separate regulated product. See Clinical Wound Gels.

Why Region Is Not a Rating

MGO forms from DHA, a compound in manuka nectar. Studies of manuka nectar show that DHA varies between regions, between years and even between neighboring trees. A region name on a label therefore does not tell you how much MGO is in the jar. The number on the label, which comes from testing the finished honey, does. Our terroir page covers the research.
