What It Actually Is
Manuka honey is produced by bees feeding on the Manuka bush, native to New Zealand and Australia. MGO (methylglyoxal) rating is a grading system for its active compound concentration — MGO-400+ indicates a specific, mid-to-high potency grade.
What Research Generally Shows
Manuka honey is studied for antimicrobial and soothing properties, with some research supporting its traditional use for throat and airway comfort.
Worth Knowing
The spray format allows direct application to the throat and mouth, which is a reasonable delivery method for honey's traditional soothing use.
