I’ve been a believer in the anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting capabilities of manuka honey ever since our pediatrician told me to give it to my kids when they’re afflicted with sore throat and cough. This October is Cancer Awareness Month. Manuka Health, a manuka honey brand from New Zealand, is commemorating it with a FREE limited edition Manuka Health scarf with every ₱3,000 purchase at Manuka Health stores. This offer is good for the entire month of October.
I usually just get the MGO 115+ but for the first time I’m trying Manuka Health MGO 573+ Manuka Honey. There’s a bug going around and everyone at home has the sniffles and sore throat. We’ve been taking a teaspoonful of this every morning and night, along with Vitamin C and Neozep Forte. So far we haven’t progressed and I do think we’re actually on the road to recovery. It’s a relief because we normally resort to antibiotics but this time it looks like we won’t have to. The rule of thumb is, the higher the MGO, the more potent the anti-inflammatory properties (anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal).
MGO stands for methygyloxal, a naturally occuring compound in manuka honey. MGO 573+ means that the manuka honey is certified to contain 573mg/kg of methyglyoxal. This means that the potency is high and it can help boost the immune system as well as heal what needs to be healed.
It still tastes like honey that can be mixed with food and drinks. The higher MGO doesn’t detract from the taste. I can still drizzle it on fruits or blend it into a smoothie. It’s not hard to take. All my kids turn to manuka honey at the first sign of an itchy, scratchy throat and my daughter swears whatever it is just stops and does not progress into something worse.
The Manuka Health MGO 537+ Manuka Honey is priced at ₱3,780 so you can instantly avail of the free scarf upon purchase. Manuka Health Stores can be found in the following malls:
