Then, in 2006, scientists in Germany published research showing that manuka honey\u2019s \u2018non-peroxide\u2019 antimicrobial activity (NPA) was closely related to the presence of the compound methylglyoxal (MGO). The relationship between MGO levels and NPA in New Zealand manuka honey was further demonstrated by researchers at Waikato University in a paper [1] that they published in 2008 (with correction in 2009).\n\nAmazing stuff, Thanks MGO we love you and all your goodness.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-559bde0 elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"559bde0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/foothills.nz\/shop\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Shop now<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bce3a8c\" data-id=\"bce3a8c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb46a14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bb46a14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/foothills.nz\/product\/manuka-263\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/foothills.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Manuka263-Product-p7pd23x9ceq4sn5tkq2r3oajc8kkw16sl86c4l86lw.png\" title=\"Manuka263-Product\" alt=\"Manuka Honey UMF 10+ - Pure Manuka Honey MGO 263 from Foothills Honey\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b2af07 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0b2af07\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/foothills.nz\/product\/manuka-83\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/foothills.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Manuka83-Foothills-Honey-p7pcr1dounkk1z8q7xsxqgv3gv4y8d8lqfkgn9n4c8.png\" title=\"Manuka83-Foothills-Honey\" alt=\"Manuka Honey UMF 5+ - Pure Manuka Honey MGO 83+ from Foothills Honey\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f040dfc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f040dfc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-153182e\" data-id=\"153182e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MGO and all its goodness.
