Manuka Health’s Propolis and Active MGO™400 Manuka Honeysuckles combine the healthy goodness of pure New Zealand Propolis with MGO™400 Manuka Honey. They are designed to help fight against winter colds and flu. And they taste good too!
Unique to New Zealand, MGO™ Manuka Honey is the only 100% natural food in the world shown to have EFFECTIVE and RELIABLE due to the active compound – Dietary Methylglyoxal (MGO™) which forms naturally in the manuka plant.
So far MGO™ Manuka Honey has been the only food in the world with such a significant Dietary Methylglyoxal content ranging from 20mg/kg to over 800mg/kg. In contrast all other honeys worldwide tested have ranged between 0-10mg/kg.
Manuka Health measures methylglyoxal content based on standards developed by University of Dresden. For example, this container of MGO™400 contains at least 400mg/kg of dietary Methylglyoxal.

| 250 | Antibacterial activity found |
| 400 | High MGO activity for digestive usefulness |
| 550 | Superior MGO activity for topical application |
“Manuka honey should be one of the few food items for which a health-promoting property beyond the basic nutritional function can be clearly documented. Health claims require significant scientific consensus, and I think from a scientific point of view, the data concerning the methylglyoxal-induced antimicrobial properties of Manuka honey are very promising to fulfill the requirements” Professor Thomas Henle.
