What Do Americans Use Manuka Honey For?

๐Ÿ’ก Quick Answer:
Americans commonly use Manuka honey for immune support, sore throat relief, digestive health, skincare, and natural energy. MGO 300+ is ideal for daily wellness, while MGO 550+ is often used for stronger support or targeted relief.

Manuka honey has quickly grown from a niche superfood to a staple in wellness routines across the United States. But what exactly are Americans using it for โ€” and which MGO strength should you choose?

Hereโ€™s a breakdown of the most common uses, along with tips on how to take it and which grade might be right for you.

1. Immune Support

The #1 reason Americans use Manuka honey is to support their immune system. With its naturally high methylglyoxal (MGO) content, Manuka honey is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Many users take a teaspoon daily or stir it into warm lemon water to help defend against seasonal bugs and keep their bodies strong.

Most popular MGO strength: 300+ for daily use

2. Sore Throat & Cough Relief

Manuka honeyโ€™s rich texture makes it ideal for soothing sore throats and calming dry coughs. Americans often use it as a natural alternative to throat lozenges or cough syrups.

Enjoy it straight off the spoon or dissolved into herbal tea โ€” it coats the throat and offers natural relief.

3. Digestive Health

Gut health is a growing priority for many U.S. consumers, and Manuka honey is becoming a go-to for:

  • Easing acid reflux and bloating

  • Promoting healthy gut bacteria

  • Supporting digestive balance

Itโ€™s commonly taken on an empty stomach first thing in the morning for maximum effect.

4. Skincare & Wound Healing

Manuka honey isnโ€™t just for eating โ€” itโ€™s also popular in natural skincare routines.

From DIY face masks for acne to applying it directly to minor cuts, burns, or eczema, many Americans love it as a gentle, effective remedy with antibacterial benefits.

5. Natural Energy Boost

Fitness enthusiasts and athletes use Manuka honey as a clean pre-workout or recovery fuel. Its natural sugars offer a quick energy lift โ€” with added wellness benefits thanks to its MGO content.

Itโ€™s a great alternative to processed energy gels or drinks.
