Manuka honey is a special type of honey from New Zealand, produced by bees that gather nectar from the Manuka bush. Manuka honey is especially known for its naturally high content of the natural active compound MGO, which sets it apart from regular honey.
Manuka honey is known for its natural antibacterial properties and its high
concentration of MGO, which occurs naturally in Manuka honey.
Many people use Manuka honey as part of a daily routine to boost energy, improve recovery and optimize overall resilience.
HVNR Manuka honey is selected with a focus on purity, potency, traceability and quality.
All honey is natural, but Manuka is something special. Genuine Manuka honey is produced in New Zealand and contains naturally high levels of MGO. You could call it the elite of honey.
How powerful the Manuka honey is comes down to its strength. The strength is measured in MGO:
The higher the MGO, the more powerful the effect and the rarer and more sought-after the honey.
MGO stands for Methylglyoxal and is the most important natural compound used to measure the strength of Manuka honey.
The higher the MGO, the higher the concentration and strength, and the more exclusive the product.
Always look for:
✔ official MGO classification
✔ origin from New Zealand
✔ batch testing
✔ clear traceability
Manuka without documentation is rarely genuine Manuka honey. HVNR Health meets all international quality standards and is therefore also one of the most widely used Manuka honeys at elite level.
Most people use 1-2 teaspoons of Manuka honey daily as part of their routine. High MGO is typically used for shorter periods.
A 250-gram jar equals approximately 35-40 teaspoons, depending on how full a spoon you use (approximately 7 g per teaspoon).
Lower MGO levels are suited to daily use, while higher MGO is more concentrated and is typically used at elite level and during particularly demanding periods. Very high MGO Manuka is typically used in smaller doses over shorter periods.
The Everyday Boost Manuka honey is ideal for daily use, while Super Boost is developed for elite level, where the extra strength may be needed periodically.
Manuka honey is produced in only a few places in the world and is harvested under strict quality requirements.
The limited production, due to the short flowering period, combined with certification and testing, makes Manuka honey one of the most exclusive honey types globally.
Manuka honey typically has a darker color than regular honey, a deeper amber. The color can vary depending on the batch and MGO level.
Manuka honey is often more creamy and thicker than regular liquid honey. It has a dense, smooth and slightly spreadable consistency, rather than being completely liquid or completely hard
It is a natural sign of quality that Manuka crystallizes. Crystallization is a sign of a natural and unprocessed honey.
Manuka honey with higher MGO often has a more intense and distinctive flavor.
Many professional athletes use Manuka honey as a natural part of their daily routine. It is a 100% natural product without additives that boosts energy during training and helps with faster and better recovery after training. Athletes typically travel a lot and live in an active and at times stressful environment, where the properties of Manuka honey provide support and act antibacterially.
At HVNR the focus is simple: Purity. Strength. Performance.
