All honey should be stored in a dark place. We have filled our Manuka Honey MGO 400+ in a dark and light-protected jar so that it can protect the honey from light. In addition, the honey should be stored in the dark with the lid closed. Honey must NOT be stored in the refrigerator, as honey can absorb water and become osmotic. This has negative effects such as poor quality and reduced shelf life of the Manuka honey. Manuka honey can crystallize after a time, this speaks for the honey and shows the activity, it can be consumed and used without any concerns. If, on the contrary, the honey becomes very runny after a while, it has absorbed too much moisture and should no longer be consumed. The high sugar content in honey serves as a natural preservative, which means that honey can be kept for many years. However, the honey's active ingredients diminish with the expiry of the best-before date, so it is advisable to consume the honey within the specified best-before date.

Manuka honey can be consumed by anyone. There are no concerns for adults, children or animals. Due to its low glycemic index (GI) of less than 40, Manuka honey is particularly suitable for diabetics and overweight people, as it contains fewer blood sugar-raising carbohydrates and sugars. However, here too, everything should be consumed in moderation and not in excess.

It can be used as a sweetener for milk, tea or other drinks. It is important to ensure that the drink is not warmer than 70°C, otherwise the honey loses its effect. In the case of tea, the honey should be stirred in after a brewing time of 5 minutes. Manuka honey can be taken internally for support

Methylglyoxal (MGO) is the solid component of Manuka honey and can be found in varying levels. The higher the MGO content, the greater the effect. The bees collect the nectar from the Manuka bush, which contains the plant sugar dihydroxyacetone, not methylglyoxal. The bees convert the dihydroxyacetone into methylglyoxal (MGO) using their special digestive enzymes. It is important to note that the special active ingredients of Manuka honey only unfold from an MGO content of > 400. If the MGO content is less than 400, it is similar to normal blossom honey in most cases. According to laboratory analysis, Bedrop Manuka honey has an MGO content of at least 400 and therefore contains the important active ingredients.
