Manuka honey may help provide some relief from a sore throat. Its antiviral and antibacterial properties can reduce inflammation and attack the bacteria that cause pain. - Watson & Son Manuka Honey Lozenges are made from 91% natural New Zealand Manuka Honey and contain no added sugars. - Watson & Son MGO 400+ Lozenges are manufactured using Manuka Honey containing at least 400 mg/kg of methylglyoxal. The amount of Methylglyoxal (MGO), a naturally occurring compound in Manuka Honey, is measured in milligrams per kilogram. - Manuka honey is made by bees that pollinate the native leptospermum scoparium bush (also known as a tea tree or manuka bush). Since ancient times honey was used to treat multiple conditions. During the late 19th century researchers discovered that honey has natural antibacterial qualities. - Manuka honey’s antibacterial properties are what set it apart from traditional honey. One of the major antibacterial components of Manuka honey is a compound called methylglyoxal (MGO). The higher the concentration of MGO, the stronger the antibacterial effect. Manuka honey has antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. - Manuka Honey is graded and certified through independent laboratory testing to ensure it meets the stringent standards required for New Zealand honey. Watson & Son use the MGO (Methylgloxal) and their own MGS (Molan Gold Standard) measurement standards in their Manuka Honey grading - both recognise the unique levels of MGO in each jar of their product, so you can buy with confidence knowing that the readings are accurate. - MGSMGONon-Mnuka30Mnuka Blend505+1008+20010+30012+40016+60018+70020+80022+90024+105025+ 1100
