Vitamin packed, natural honey combines glucose and fructose, when compared to white sugar which is sucrose. The basic sugar types in honey are more easily assimilated into the bloodstream and may help our body in absorbing essential minerals and vitamins.
Because natural honey is quickly and easily assimilated by the body, it can provide us with a boost of energy within a few short minutes of taking it. Honey is used as a natural and healthy alternative to white sugars and provides more 'sweetness' ounce per ounce than white sugars.
Natural Honey acts as the perfect accompaniment to royal jelly - adding a touch of sweetness and flavor to offset the slightly bitter taste of fresh royal jelly. It is also used in some cases to naturally preserve the liquid royal jelly, avoiding the need for refrigeration or chemical preservatives.
How to tell if you are allergic to bee products:
A small percentage of people may be allergic to bee products. People with various forms of allergies have been know to suffer negative reactions when taking some bee products. Usually these reactions are quite mild and stop as soon as the person stops taking the product.
A simple test is to break open a capsule and place a small amount of the powder on the back of your tongue. If you feel a strong itching sensation it may be that the products are not for you. Again, we are talking about a small number of people.
If in doubt consult with your doctor. Please don't ask us for any kind of medical advice, we are not qualified to dispense such advice and will only refer you to your doctor if you should ask.
Its a great idea to get your doctor involved in your campaign for 'natural wellness', and essential if you have any pre-existing conditions or are taking any other medication.
