The Honey Is Good

The honey is good. It has its own unique flavor. But from a mind calming point of view, I have not experienced it. Neither have I experienced the hallucinagenic effects that are reported. In conclusion, good everyday honey, but over priced in my opinion.

Reply from Real Mad Honey

Hi Mark!

Thank you for such an honest review! We're glad the flavor came through as something unique, that's the raw, unfiltered character of the honey shining through.

On the calming effects, sensitivity to the natural compounds in mad honey varies a lot from person to person, and factors like body weight, metabolism, and whether it's taken on an empty stomach all play a role. For what it's worth, we don't position this as a hallucinogenic product, it's meant to be a much subtler shift, more of a quieter, settled feeling than anything dramatic.

On price, our honey is wild-harvested in small seasonal batches and every jar is lab-tested for authenticity, which does add real cost compared to standard honey. If you'd like to dig into what's actually in your batch, our lab reports are here: https://www.realmadhoney.com/pages/lab-report. Thanks again for taking the time to share this with us 🐝

This honey is magical, helped me to sleep better.

This honey is amazing; I'm really loving it. Ordered a second Jar; it gave me a calm, relaxing feeling and helped me to sleep better. I have adapted to this natural, organic way of getting better sleep, which lowers my cortisol levels before I sleep. No more melatonin or any pills, replaced with this natural honey

Hi Luke,

Thanks for taking the time to share this. We're sorry to hear the experience didn't match what you were expecting.

Just to clarify, Real Mad Honey is genuine, wild-harvested honey from rhododendron nectar in the Himalayas, and every batch we sell is independently lab-tested to confirm authenticity and potency, which you're welcome to check here: https://www.realmadhoney.com/pages/lab-report.

As for effects, sensitivity to the natural compounds varies quite a bit from person to person depending on things like body weight, metabolism, and whether it's taken on an empty stomach.

We'd love the chance to help you get more out of it, feel free to email us at support@realmadhoney.com and we're happy to walk through dosage with you.

I ordered this after a stressful work week and now I kinda understand the hype. It’s subtle but in a good way. I don’t feel buzzed, just softer mentally if that makes sense.

READ BEFORE BUYING!!

Firstly this is my shopping order number to confirm the validity of this review (, 6890UK). this has been a truly awful experience all around firstly one jar came and the seal was broken.
My experience I tried the honey 2 times about half a teaspoon each time in tea to relax, (no psychological effect) in my third time I had just less than one teaspoon (they recommend one teaspoon per dose), I use substances a lot but never ever mix anything but I’m used to hard tripping. Anyway still no psychology effect but I started to feel funny and my heart started fluttering I sit down and start to feel like I’m going to passout / throw up my partner goes and grabs the oxidiser and my heart rate is first 135 and within less then 2 minutes dropped to >40 and goes into the 30s immediately we call 111 and then 999 and was hospitalised , this shit isn’t fun and genuinely dangerous. Alcohol / weed is feels much safer and despite all this I still didn’t get any phycological effects, as one stoner to another avoid !!! genuinely a horrific experience… never advocate for drug regulations but this needs to be banned genuinely…

Hi Riley,

Thank you for taking the time to write this, and we're very glad to hear you've recovered. A night like the one you describe is frightening, and we take what you've shared seriously.

We're also sorry the jar reached you with a broken seal. that should never happen, and we'd like to understand exactly how it did. I a jar ever arrives with a broken or compromised seal, please don't consume it and reach out to us right away instead. As mentioned in the email we've already sent, we'd welcome the chance to speak privately so we can look into your order properly and make things right.

We review every report like this carefully. As a general reminder, mad honey contains natural grayanotoxins, and we always advise to never combining it with alcohol, other substances, or medication. Anyone with a heart condition, low blood pressure, or who's on medication should check with their doctor before trying it.

We're here whenever you're ready to talk.

Warm regards,
The Real Mad Honey Team 🐝
