Manuka honey MGO 300+: what does the number mean?
MGO is the amount of methylglyoxal in the honey, in milligrams per kilogram. MGO 300+ means at least 300mg of methylglyoxal per kg; the higher the number, the higher the content. Methylglyoxal forms as the dihydroxyacetone (DHA) in manuka nectar converts while the honey matures.

The amount varies a lot between fruits and regions.
