Great company!
The honey didn’t work for me, but the authenticity and integrity of the company has led me to change my review to a five star review.
They responded immediately and gave me some useful guidance on the best way to take the honey. I increased the amount but would probably have needed a bit more, however I was too concerned about going over the higher dose amount in case it suddenly started working all at once. The only thing I noticed was I lost my appetite the next day- in a positive way.
I was extremely impressed by Real Mad Honey’s customer service- they were just so helpful. They reached out to me and even offered me my money back. I didn’t think to ask as I had used a lot of the honey in the testing process. I suggested a partial refund, but they insisted on giving me the whole amount back.
Their communication was fantastic; they approached with curiosity and an eagerness to help and were invested in customer satisfaction.
They explained the reasons why the honey doesn’t work easily for some people and their explanation made enough sense for me to feel satisfied with the given reasons.

Hi Maria!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, feedback like this helps us a lot!
We'd love to clear something up: Real Mad Honey is raw and unfiltered, which naturally gives it a different consistency from processed honey, sometimes more fluid, sometimes thicker, always varying by batch, season, and region. That variation is actually a sign of authenticity.
On the effects side, individual sensitivity to the natural grayanotoxins in mad honey really does differ from person to person. Things like body weight, whether the stomach is empty, and personal tolerance all influence how the experience lands. For the fullest results, 1–2 tablespoons on a completely empty stomach with a full 45–60 minute wait is the sweet spot, and some people simply need to try a second serving on a different day to feel it properly.
You can verify your batch's grayanotoxin levels directly at realmadhoney.com/pages/lab-report, every jar we ship is independently tested before it reaches you.
We'd genuinely like to help you get the experience you were hoping for. Drop us a message at support@realmadhoney.com and we'll take good care of you.
Warm regards,
The Real Mad Honey Team 🐝

Customer support deserves credit. My package disappeared somewhere during shipping and they sorted it out way faster than I expected. Rare to see companies actually care after you place the order.

Smooth texture, don't be afraid!
Product has smooth texture, sweet solid taste. Used before bed. Helped with tranquility.
Making it more affordable would definitely bring in a lot more business. I would consider buying in bulk for a very nice discount. I felt the healthy benefits the following day.
Customer service and PR are on point. They are hands on with every order. You're nailing the repeat business is the best business motto!

Not gonna lie, I expected the taste to be horrible because of all the wild honey talk. Ended up being one of the nicest tasting honeys I’ve had. Effects are smooth too, more calming than intense.

Disappointing – Beautiful Packaging but Zero Effects
I bought the 100g wooden jar to try authentic mad honey. I started responsibly with 1 teaspoon and felt absolutely nothing after waiting. Over the course of the evening, I ended up taking another 4 to 5 teaspoons, and eventually finished the entire jar. Zero physical effects, zero warmth, and zero relaxation. It looks great on the counter, but this specific batch just feels like expensive standard table honey in a nice wooden jar

Hi Rumel!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and for starting responsibly with a small dose, that's exactly the right approach! Real Mad Honey is a completely natural, wild-harvested product, which means the experience can genuinely vary from person to person. Factors like metabolism, body weight, tolerance, and whether you've eaten beforehand all play a role in how it feels.
Every single batch we sell is independently lab-tested for authentic grayanotoxin content, you can check the exact results for your batch at realmadhoney.com/pages/lab-report. We stand behind the quality completely.
We'd really love to make this right for you. Please reach out to us at support@realmadhoney.com with your order number and we'll personally look into this together.

Product Didn't Work for Me, But Customer Support Was Outstanding
My original experience wasn't great. I received the order a few days earlier and tried it as directed. After waiting over two hours, I had finished the entire 50ml jar and didn't experience any effects, which was disappointing.
However, after contacting customer support, the situation was handled exceptionally well. The customer care team responded quickly, listened to my concerns, and treated me with professionalism and respect throughout the process. They ultimately provided a full refund without any hassle.
While the product didn't work for me personally, I cannot fault the company's customer service. Their communication was excellent, and they genuinely cared about resolving the issue. Based on my experience with their support team, I would happily recommend them for their outstanding customer care.

Hi Cosmin!
We appreciate you sharing this! Just to offer a bit of context, consuming a full 50g jar in one session is actually well beyond the recommended amount, and the method matters just as much as the quantity. The sweet spot for most people is 1–2 tablespoons on an empty stomach, with a proper 45–60 minute wait before considering more.
Sensitivity to the natural grayanotoxins in our honey also varies quite a bit depending on factors like metabolism, body weight, and timing, so the same serving can feel very different from one person to the next.
You can verify the potency of your exact batch at realmadhoney.com/pages/lab-report, every jar is lab-tested before it ships, so the numbers are there for you to see directly.
Drop us a message at support@realmadhoney.com with your order number and we'd be happy to work through this with you personally. 🐝

I was a heroin user for 13 years and have been sober for 6. Because of the time I used my sleep has been completely wrecked ever since getting sober. I can actually sleep for a solid 4 to 5 hours now compared to the 1 to 2 hours I was getting! The other amazing thing is I don't have to use the honey every night or even every other night for the effects to continue to stay. People who are looking for a high are the reason they get negative reviews this is medicine as when you use as such you'll get the results.

Hi Nick!
This is one of those reviews that stays with you. Thank you for being so open about your journey, 6 years of sobriety is something to be incredibly proud of, and the sleep struggles that come with recovery are real and often overlooked. Going from 1–2 hours to 4–5 consistent hours is a meaningful change, and we're really glad to hear it. 🍯
You also put it in a way that we couldn't say better ourselves, when it's approached as the traditional medicine it truly is, with care and the right intention, the results follow. That wisdom is what Real Mad Honey was built on, and it means a great deal to see it reflected in your experience.
