Manukora Review
They publish the methylglyoxal number on every jar, which is admirable — and it is exactly what lets you prove the grade ladder is bad value.
Manukora
Buy The Cheap Jar, Not The GradeThe grade ladder is poor value in its own terms: MGO 600+ is $100 for 500g, or $0.20 a gram. MGO 1400+ is $370 for 250g, or $1.48 a gram. That is 7.4x the price for about 2.3x the methylglyoxal — so the cost per unit of the compound the grade measures roughly triples as you climb. Scarcity explains it; it does not make it good value.
Per teaspoon, which is how you actually eat it: about $1.40 for MGO 600+, $2.23 for MGO 1000+, $7.00 for MGO 1200+, $10.36 for MGO 1400+ and up to $13.24 for the Secret Spot Harvest. A daily spoonful of the top grade is roughly $73 a week.
Real credit, and we checked before criticising: mānuka is one of the most adulterated foods in global trade, so we looked for authentication — and found per-batch authenticity pages tied to specific product runs. That is a substantive answer rather than a badge. Publishing a measured MGO figure in every product name is also unusually transparent, and it is the only reason the arithmetic above was possible.
Two things to keep in view. "UMF" — the independent multi-marker licensing programme — appears zero times across the catalogue; MGO is a genuine measurement, but it is a single marker a producer commissions. And whatever the grade, this is roughly 80% sugar: the words sugar, glycemic and diabetes appear nowhere in their product descriptions.

A Teaspoon Of MGO 1400+
~80%
Of Any Grade That Is Sugar
What We Verified
Prices and jar weights from their own published product data; per-gram and per-teaspoon figures are our arithmetic from those numbers, shown in full below.
The Grade Ladder Is Terrible Value Per Unit Of MGO
MGO 600+ in a 500g jar is $100, or $0.20 a gram. MGO 1400+ in a 250g jar is $370, or $1.48 a gram. That is 7.4 times the price per gram of honey for 2.3 times the methylglyoxal — so the cost per unit of the marker you are actually buying rises by roughly three times as you climb
A Teaspoon Of The Top Grade Costs $10.36
At $1.48 a gram, a standard 7g teaspoon of MGO 1400+ works out at $10.36. The Secret Spot Harvest MGO 1637+ at $435 for 230g is $1.89 a gram, or $13.24 a teaspoon. Those are the real per-serving numbers, and they are rarely presented that way
It Is Still Roughly 80% Sugar
Whatever the grade, honey is predominantly sugar — around 80% by weight, so a 7g teaspoon carries roughly 5.6g of it. The words sugar, glycemic and diabetes do not appear anywhere in their product descriptions, which is unsurprising but worth knowing if you are managing blood glucose
They Grade On MGO Only, With No UMF Mention
Across the catalogue "MGO" appears 69 times and "methylglyoxal" 12 times. "UMF" appears zero times. MGO is a genuine, measurable marker — arguably the most direct one for the activity mānuka is known for — but UMF is the independent licensing programme that authenticates on multiple markers. Its absence is worth noticing in the world's most adulterated honey category
But They Do Run A Batch Authentication System
We went looking for traceability before criticising its absence, and found it: their sitemap includes per-batch authenticity pages such as mgo850-squeezy-authenticity and authenticate-850-squeeze, tied to specific product runs. In a category defined by adulteration risk, that is a real and creditable feature
The Cheapest Jar Is Also The Cheapest Per Gram
The 500g MGO 600+ jar at $100 is $0.20 a gram, the best rate in the range. The 80g MGO 1200+ mini jar at $89 is $1.11 a gram. Buying small and buying high-grade both cost you heavily, and doing both at once costs you five and a half times the base rate
The Whole Range, Per Gram And Per Spoon
Their prices and weights, our arithmetic. A teaspoon of honey is about 7 grams.
| Product | Price | Per Gram | Per Teaspoon |
|---|---|---|---|
| MGO 600+, 500g jar — best value | $100 | $0.20 | ~$1.40 |
| MGO 600+, 250g jar | $55 | $0.22 | ~$1.54 |
| MGO 1000+, 500g jar | $159 | $0.32 | ~$2.23 |
| MGO 1200+, 250g jar | $250 | $1.00 | ~$7.00 |
| MGO 1200+, 80g mini jar | $89 | $1.11 — 5.5× the best rate | ~$7.79 |
| MGO 1400+, 250g jar | $370 | $1.48 | ~$10.36 |
| Secret Spot Harvest MGO 1637+, 230g | $350–$435 | $1.52–$1.89 | ~$10.65–$13.24 |
The 30-pack of MGO 850+ stick packets at $120 works out at roughly $0.40 a gram — dearer than the big jar, but genuinely useful portion control if the alternative is standing at the counter with a spoon and a $370 jar.
Reading It As Food, Not Medicine
General information, not medical advice. We earn nothing on any of it.
| The Belief | The More Accurate Version |
|---|---|
| It is a health food, so it is a free pass | Roughly 80% sugar by weight — about 5.6g of sugar in a 7g teaspoon |
| Higher MGO means more health benefit | Higher MGO means more of one measured compound. Most serious research concerns topical wound care, not eating it |
| I take insulin or a sulfonylurea, but it is natural | Count it as the concentrated sugar it is. Natural is not a metabolic category |
| I spent $370, so I should use it | Sunk cost. A $10 teaspoon does not become healthier because it was expensive |
If you want it for the flavour or the ritual, that is a perfectly good reason and we would not argue with it. Our side-effects guide covers the intake side of these medicines, where protein rather than sugar is the thing most people are short of.

Our Verdict
3.2 / 5 — honestly graded, genuinely authenticated, and priced so the ladder gets worse the higher you climb.
This is not a review about deception, and it is worth saying so plainly given how many of our recent ones have been. Manukora prints a measured methylglyoxal figure in the name of every product they sell. That is unusually transparent for a food brand, and it is the only reason the analysis below was possible — a company hiding behind words like premium or reserve would have made it impossible to check anything. They also run per-batch authenticity pages tied to specific product runs, which we found by going and looking rather than by being told. That matters more here than in almost any other food category, because mānuka honey has a well-documented adulteration problem: the volume sold globally has historically exceeded what New Zealand could plausibly produce, which tells you everything about the incentive to cut it. A producer offering batch-level verification is answering the right question. And we found no disease-treatment claims of the kind that attract regulatory letters. This is honey sold as honey, with a chemical grade attached.
The problem is value, and it is arithmetic rather than opinion. Take their own published prices and weights. MGO 600+ in the 1.1lb jar is $100 for 500g, which is $0.20 a gram. MGO 1000+ at the same size is $159, or $0.32. MGO 1200+ is $250 for 250g, a round $1.00 a gram. MGO 1400+ is $370 for 250g, or $1.48. And the Secret Spot Harvest MGO 1637+ runs $350 to $435 for 230g, between $1.52 and $1.89. Now hold those against what the grade measures. Going from MGO 600+ to MGO 1400+ multiplies the price per gram by 7.4 while multiplying the methylglyoxal by roughly 2.3 — so the cost per unit of the compound the entire grading system exists to quantify goes up about threefold as you climb. There is a fair counter-argument, which is that high-MGO honey is genuinely scarcer and harder to source, so price outrunning content is simply what scarcity looks like. We accept that as an explanation. It is not an argument that the expensive jar is better value, and a customer choosing between grades deserves the per-unit figure alongside the grade number.
Expressed the way people actually consume it, the numbers land harder. A teaspoon of honey is about 7 grams. That makes MGO 600+ from the big jar roughly $1.40 a spoonful, MGO 1000+ about $2.23, MGO 1200+ $7.00, MGO 1400+ $10.36, and the Secret Spot Harvest up to $13.24. A daily spoonful of the top grade is therefore something like $73 a week — more than most people spend on coffee, for a difference in measured methylglyoxal that does not begin to justify it. Two format traps compound this. The 80g mini jar of MGO 1200+ at $89 works out at $1.11 a gram, five and a half times the best rate in the range, because small formats always carry a premium and this one is steep. And the Bioactive Blends at $50 to $140 stack additional cost on top of an already expensive base — if honey is what you want, buy honey. The one format we would defend on practical grounds is the stick packets: dearer per gram than the jar, but portion control in physical form, which may well be the cheaper habit if the alternative is standing at the counter with a spoon.
Two things to keep in view beyond price. The first is authentication of a different kind: across all thirty products, "MGO" appears 69 times and "methylglyoxal" 12, while "UMF" appears zero times. UMF is the independent licensing programme that authenticates against multiple markers and grants a quality mark; MGO grading is a single-marker measurement a producer commissions and prints. Both describe something real, and Manukora's batch authenticity pages are a genuine alternative approach — but if what reassures you specifically is independent third-party licensing, that is not what is on offer, and it is worth knowing before spending $370. The second is what the product actually is. Honey is roughly 80% sugar by weight, so a 7g teaspoon carries around 5.6g of sugar and about 21 calories, and that is as true of MGO 1637+ as of supermarket clover honey — the methylglyoxal is present in milligram quantities and changes nothing about the other four fifths. Across the whole catalogue the words sugar, glycemic and diabetes appear zero times. That is not dishonest, but it does mean the most nutritionally relevant fact about the product is absent from its own description.
For readers of this site the practical guidance is modest and specific. A teaspoon or two will not derail anything, and if it displaces a larger dessert it may be a net improvement — but it is not a free food, and "natural" is not a metabolic category. If you have type 2 diabetes alongside your GLP-1, and particularly if you take insulin or a sulfonylurea, count it as the concentrated sugar it is rather than exempting it because it arrived from a wellness brand. There is also a specific psychological trap worth naming: having spent $370 on a jar, people feel obliged to use it, and a $10 teaspoon does not become healthier for having been expensive. Sunk cost is not a nutrition principle. So the recommendation is simple. If you want mānuka honey, buy the 500g MGO 600+ jar at $100 — the best rate in the range at $0.20 a gram and about $1.40 a spoonful — treat it as a nice food rather than a supplement, and be honest with yourself that most of the serious research on mānuka concerns topical wound care rather than eating it. Our disclosure: 8% commission, which is $8.00 on the value jar we are recommending and $29.60 on the MGO 1400+ we are steering you away from.
Visit ManukoraFrequently Asked Questions
What is the pricing finding?
That the grade ladder is poor value in exactly the terms it is sold on, and you can prove it from their own prices. Here is the arithmetic, using the published prices and jar weights. MGO 600+ in the 1.1lb jar is $100 for 500g, which is $0.20 a gram. MGO 1000+ in the same size is $159, or $0.318 a gram. MGO 1200+ is $250 for 250g, which is $1.00 a gram. MGO 1400+ is $370 for 250g, or $1.48 a gram. And the Secret Spot Harvest MGO 1637+ runs $350 to $435 for 230g, or $1.52 to $1.89 a gram. Now compare the two ends. Going from MGO 600+ to MGO 1400+ multiplies the price per gram by 7.4, and multiplies the methylglyoxal content by roughly 2.3. In other words, the cost per unit of the very compound the grade measures roughly triples as you climb. If methylglyoxal is what you are buying — and the entire grading system says it is — then the cheap jar delivers it at about a third of the cost of the expensive one. There is a defensible counter-argument, which is that higher-MGO honey is genuinely scarcer and harder to source, so price rising faster than content is what scarcity looks like. That is fair as an explanation of why it costs more. It is not an argument that you are getting better value, and a customer choosing between jars deserves to see the per-unit figure rather than only the grade number.
How much is a serving, really?
Between about $1.40 and $13.24, depending entirely on which jar you buy — and almost nobody presents it that way. A standard teaspoon of honey is around 7 grams. Run that through the per-gram figures and the picture is stark. MGO 600+ in the 500g jar comes to about $1.40 a teaspoon. MGO 1000+ is about $2.23. MGO 1200+ is $7.00, and the 80g mini jar version of the same grade is $7.79 because small jars carry a premium. MGO 1400+ is $10.36 a teaspoon. The Secret Spot Harvest at the top price is $13.24 a teaspoon. Stick packets, which are 0.35oz or roughly 10g each, work out at around $4.50 each in the ten-pack and $4.00 in the thirty-pack, so about $3.18 and $2.82 per 7g equivalent. We present it this way because grades and jar prices are abstract while a spoonful is not, and because the decision people actually make is whether to take a spoonful every morning. At MGO 600+ that habit costs roughly $10 a week. At MGO 1400+ it costs roughly $73 a week, which is more than most people spend on coffee, and considerably more than the difference in measured methylglyoxal would justify. If you want the ritual, the arithmetic points clearly at the big jar of the lower grade.
Does the MGO number mean anything?
Yes, genuinely — and it is worth separating the real part from the marketing. Methylglyoxal is a real compound, it is present in mānuka honey at far higher concentrations than in ordinary honey, it is measurable in a laboratory, and it is the compound most directly associated with the non-peroxide antibacterial activity that made mānuka honey interesting in the first place. So an MGO number is not an invented marketing scale like a star rating; it is a chemical measurement, and Manukora putting it in every product name means you can compare across their range and do the sort of arithmetic we have done above. That is more transparency than a lot of food categories offer. The important caveat is what a laboratory measurement of antibacterial activity in a dish does and does not tell you about eating a spoonful. Most of the serious research on mānuka honey concerns topical use — wound dressings, where honey is applied directly to tissue — and medical-grade honey products for wound care are a real thing. Extrapolating from that to swallowing it for general wellness is a much bigger leap, and the evidence for systemic benefits from eating mānuka honey is thin. So our view is: the number is real, the grading is honest, and the question is whether higher numbers are worth the money for your intended use. If you are eating it, the case for paying 7.4 times more per gram is weak.
What about UMF?
It is absent, and in this category that is worth noticing rather than condemning. Across all 30 products in their catalogue, "MGO" appears 69 times and "methylglyoxal" 12 times, while "UMF" appears zero times. UMF, or Unique Mānuka Factor, is an independent licensing programme run by an industry association that authenticates honey against multiple chemical markers and grants licensees the right to use its quality mark. MGO grading, by contrast, is a single-marker measurement that a producer can have tested and print on a label. Both describe something real. The distinction is that UMF carries independent licensing and multi-marker authentication, and mānuka honey is one of the most adulterated products in global food trade — the volume sold worldwide has historically far exceeded what New Zealand could possibly produce, which tells you what you need to know about the incentive to cut it. So authentication matters here more than in almost any other food category. To be fair to Manukora, we went looking for whether they address that a different way, and they do: their sitemap contains per-batch authenticity pages tied to specific product runs, which lets a buyer check a particular jar. That is a real and creditable system, and it is why this is a note rather than an accusation. But if independent third-party licensing specifically is what reassures you, it is not what is on offer here, and you should know that before paying $370 a jar.
Why does a GLP-1 site care about honey?
Because it is sugar sold as a health product, and the framing is the problem rather than the honey. Honey is roughly 80% sugar by weight — predominantly fructose and glucose — so a 7g teaspoon carries something like 5.6g of sugar and around 21 calories. That is true of MGO 1637+ exactly as it is true of supermarket clover honey; the methylglyoxal is present in milligram quantities and does not change what the other 80% is. Across the entire catalogue we searched, the words sugar, glycemic and diabetes appear zero times, which is not deceptive exactly, but it does mean the single most nutritionally relevant fact about the product is nowhere in its own description. For most readers of this site the practical implications are modest but real. A teaspoon or two is not going to derail anything, and if it replaces a larger dessert it may be a net improvement. But it is not a free food, it does not belong in the category of things you can have because they are healthy, and the price tag creates a psychological trap: having spent $370 on a jar, people tend to use it, and a $10 teaspoon is not obviously the thing you should feel obliged to finish. If you have type 2 diabetes alongside your GLP-1, and particularly if you take insulin or a sulfonylurea, treat this as what it is — a concentrated sugar — and fit it into your carbohydrate counting rather than exempting it because it came from a health brand.
Is there anything genuinely good here?
Yes, three things, and we would not want the price criticism to bury them. First, the transparency of the grading. Putting a measured methylglyoxal figure in every single product name is unusual and admirable — it is precisely what lets a customer do the value arithmetic that most of this review consists of, and a company hiding behind vague terms like "premium" or "reserve" would have made that impossible. We can criticise the value only because they published the numbers. Second, the batch authentication. In a category with a well-documented adulteration problem, per-batch authenticity pages tied to specific product runs are a substantive answer rather than a badge, and we found them by looking rather than being told. Third, the honesty of the product claims themselves: we did not find disease-treatment claims of the kind that get supplement companies FDA warning letters, and the range is essentially honey sold as honey with a chemical grade attached. Compared with several products we have reviewed recently — undisclosed doses, borrowed clinical trial data, frameworks that reinterpret side effects as progress — this is a straightforward premium food product whose main sin is being expensive. That is a much less serious category of problem, and it is why this review lands where it does rather than lower.
What should I actually buy?
The 500g MGO 600+ jar at $100, if you want it at all. That is $0.20 a gram, the best rate anywhere in the range, and about $1.40 a teaspoon — meaning a daily spoonful costs roughly $10 a week rather than the $73 a week the top grade implies. Everything above it costs disproportionately more per unit of the compound the grade actually measures. Three things to avoid on value grounds. The 80g mini jar at $89 is $1.11 a gram, five and a half times the best rate, because small formats always carry a premium and this one is severe. The Secret Spot Harvest at up to $1.89 a gram is a collector's purchase rather than a nutritional one, and there is nothing wrong with buying it as a luxury as long as that is what you think you are doing. And the Bioactive Blends at $50 to $140 add further cost on top of an already expensive base — if honey is what you want, buy honey. One genuinely useful format note: the stick packets, at roughly 10g each, are portion control in physical form. They work out dearer per gram than the big jar, but if the alternative is standing at the counter with a spoon and a $370 jar, the packets may be the cheaper habit in practice. And the honest baseline question, which no honey company will ask you: ordinary honey costs somewhere around a hundredth of this per gram and is chemically about 80% the same thing. If you are buying mānuka for the flavour or the ritual, that is a legitimate reason. If you are buying it because it is medicine you can eat, the evidence for that is thin.
What is your verdict?
3.2 out of 5 — a real product, honestly graded, at prices that scale far faster than the thing being graded. Let us be clear that this is not a review about deception. Manukora publishes a measured methylglyoxal figure in every product name, which is more numerical transparency than most food brands offer and is the only reason the analysis in this review was possible at all. They run per-batch authenticity pages tied to specific product runs, which is a substantive response to the genuine adulteration problem in mānuka honey — a category where global sales have historically exceeded plausible New Zealand production by a wide margin. And we found no disease-treatment claims of the sort that attract regulatory letters. Compared with much of what we review, this is a straightforward premium food sold as what it is. The problem is value, and it is arithmetic rather than opinion. MGO 600+ in the 500g jar is $0.20 a gram. MGO 1400+ is $1.48 a gram. That is 7.4 times the price for roughly 2.3 times the methylglyoxal, which means the cost per unit of the marker you are buying approximately triples as you climb the ladder. Scarcity explains why that happens; it does not make it good value. Expressed per serving, a 7g teaspoon runs from about $1.40 at the bottom of the range to $10.36 for MGO 1400+ and $13.24 for the Secret Spot Harvest — a daily spoonful of the top grade being roughly $73 a week. Two further notes. UMF, the independent multi-marker licensing programme, appears nowhere in the catalogue; MGO is a genuine measurement but it is a single marker a producer can commission, and if independent licensing is what reassures you, this is not it. And whatever the grade, this is approximately 80% sugar, a fact that appears nowhere in their descriptions — worth remembering on a medication where you are managing intake, and worth taking seriously if you also use insulin or a sulfonylurea. Buy the big jar of the low grade, treat it as a nice food rather than a supplement, and do not let a $370 purchase oblige you to eat it. Our disclosure: 8% commission, which is about $8 on the value jar and $29.60 on the MGO 1400+ we are steering you away from.
$100 Jar, Not The $370 One.
MGO 600+ at $0.20 a gram is the best rate in the range and about $1.40 a teaspoon. Climbing to MGO 1400+ costs 7.4x more per gram for 2.3x the methylglyoxal — and it is roughly 80% sugar either way.

Date reviewed: 8 August 2026. Prices, product names and package weights were read from the store's public structured product data on that date, which listed 30 products including MGO 600+ at $55.00 for an 8.82 oz jar and $100.00 for a 1.1 lb jar; MGO 1000+ at $159.00 for 1.1 lb; MGO 1200+ at $250.00 for an 8.82 oz jar and $89.00 for an 80g mini glass jar; MGO 1400+ at $370.00 for an 8.82 oz jar; Secret Spot Harvest MGO 1637+ at $350.00 and $435.00 for 230g limited and exclusive releases; MGO 850+ Stick Packets at $45.00 for 10 packets of 0.35 oz and $120.00 for 30 packets of 0.35 oz; a Superhoney Starter Kit MGO 1000+ at $159.00; Bioactive Blends at $50.00 to $140.00; and Mini Wooden Spoons at $20.00. All per-gram and per-teaspoon figures in this review are our own arithmetic from those published prices and stated weights, treating 8.82 oz as 250g, 1.1 lb as 500g and a teaspoon of honey as approximately 7g: MGO 600+ $0.20 and $0.22 per gram, MGO 1000+ $0.318, MGO 1200+ $1.00 and $1.113 for the mini jar, MGO 1400+ $1.48, Secret Spot Harvest $1.522 to $1.891, and stick packets approximately $0.40 to $0.455. The statements that the price per gram rises 7.4 times between MGO 600+ and MGO 1400+ while the methylglyoxal figure rises approximately 2.3 times, and that the cost per unit of methylglyoxal therefore roughly triples, are likewise our calculations from those figures and the grade numbers in the product names, not statements by the company. Keyword counts are ours across all 30 product listings: 'MGO' 69 occurrences, 'methylglyoxal' 12; 'UMF' zero occurrences; and 'sugar', 'glycemic', 'glycaemic' and 'diabet' zero occurrences each. We additionally retrieved the site's page sitemap, comprising 112 URLs, which included per-batch authenticity pages such as one for MGO 850 squeezy authenticity and an authenticate-850-squeeze page tied to a specific run, which is the basis for our statement that a batch authentication system exists. Limitations: we did not purchase, receive or test any product, we commissioned no independent analysis, and we did not verify any individual batch certificate or its contents; our observation about UMF is simply that the term does not appear in the product data we read and is not a statement about the honey's authenticity. Statements that mānuka honey has a documented global adulteration problem, that methylglyoxal is the compound most associated with mānuka's non-peroxide antibacterial activity, that most serious mānuka research concerns topical wound care, and that honey is approximately 80% sugar by weight, are general background rather than findings about this specific product, and were not independently verified in the course of this review.
