Tried this before handling a long day of meetings and surprisingly stayed locked in the whole afternoon. Not jittery like energy drinks, just cleaner focus. Didn’t expect honey to actually do that.

Good stuff but expensive

Tastes great. The effects are not as strong as I was hoping but that might just be my tolerance. I will buy more but it is an expensive buzz. I understand why, and how they get the honey but it's not something I buy regularly!

Hi Jason!

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! We're really glad the taste won you over, that raw, wild flavour is something we're proud of. You're spot on that everyone's experience can differ from person to person, so there's no rush; finding what feels right for you is part of it. And we completely understand it being more of a special-occasion treat than an everyday staple, genuine wild-harvested honey from remote Himalayan regions comes in small seasonal batches, so it's never going to be your average supermarket jar. It means a lot that you see the value in how it's sourced. We'll be here whenever you're ready for your next one!

Warm regards,
The Real Mad Honey Team 🐝

Hi George!

Thank you, reading this genuinely made our day! It's wonderful that even a single teaspoon settled you into such a deep sense of calm so quickly, and that it resonated enough for you to reorder the 150g right away. Gifting a jar so someone else could discover it for themselves is honestly the loveliest kind of recommendation there is. A teaspoon is a perfect place to stay, too, that easy, unwound feeling is exactly what mad honey does best. Really appreciate you helping spread the word!

Good stuff. I just wish the product had stronger effects and was less expensive. Considering how this honey is collected I understand why it’s expensive tho.

Hi Paul!

Thank you for the fair and thoughtful review, we're glad it's still "good stuff" in your book! 🐝 Everyone's body has its own conversation with the honey, so the feel lands differently for different people, and we'd always point folks toward our recommended servings rather than more. And honestly, you nailed the pricing yourself, those wild cliffs and tiny seasonal harvests are the real reason behind it.

I recommend this brand

I have tried other mad honey companies and this honey is the real deal. The quality is very good. I've noticed some batches are stronger than others which the company does agree that will happen. You have to consider its a natural product. I use it in the evening to help relax me before I go to bed. The price is worth the experience.

Hi Lilith!

This is the kind of review that makes our whole hive buzz, thank you! 🐝🍯 You clearly get it: nature doesn't do identical batches, and that little variation is part of what makes wild-harvested honey the real thing rather than something mass-produced. Hearing that ours stood out against the rest, and that it's earned a spot in your evening wind-down, means the world to us.

By far

By far, the best tasting honey that I have ever had, but there is no euphoria feeling of taking more than 3 tablespoons, but I would recommend if anyone wants good tasting, honey

Hi Daniel!

Thank you so much for the kind words, hearing that it's the best-tasting honey you've had genuinely made our day. That flavour is exactly what we work so hard to protect by keeping it wild and raw. On the effects side, sensitivity really does vary from person to person, so what feels noticeable for one person can feel subtle for another. We'd gently suggest keeping to our recommended servings rather than going higher, since more isn't always better with this honey. If you're ever curious about your batch, the lab reports are all online for full transparency. Thanks again for the recommendation, it means a lot!

Hi Garry!

Thank you for the honest feedback, we really value it. Because our honey is wild-harvested rather than mass-produced, some natural variation between batches is part of its character, though we lab-test every batch to keep it within an authentic, consistent range. If you'd like to get a little more from it, many people find that taking it raw on an empty stomach and waiting 45–60 minutes before deciding on more makes a real difference. You're always welcome to check your batch's lab report here: https://www.realmadhoney.com/pages/lab-report . Thank you so much for your support, it truly means a lot to us.

Real mad honey continues to send me products that work well to help me sleep even though I have severe insomnia. This time around my wife has been using the product as well and she is also sleeping much better and waking up feeling great from a productive nights sleep. The product is great and helping my wife and I sleep better. Thanks for making such a wonderful product we love our real mad honey.

Hi Donald!

Thank you for sharing your honest experience with us, we really appreciate it. Everyone's body responds a little differently, so it can take some experimenting to find what works for you, and we're glad you're sticking with it. If it helps, some people find that taking it raw on an empty stomach and giving it 45–60 minutes makes a difference in how they feel it

Hi Matthew!

Thank you for taking the time to share this, and we're sorry the jar didn't arrive in the condition it should have, with the seal broken and honey in the lid. That's not the unboxing we want anyone to have.

We'd really like to look into this properly for you, and the website redirect you ran into too, since reaching us should never be a hassle. Could you email us at support@realmadhoney.com with your order number? That way we can review everything together and get it sorted.

Don’t waste your money!

The only thing mad about it is the price. I bought 2 jars of the Nepal strain (the strongest one) and didn’t feel a thing. I had one whole jar in a day and felt nothing. Honestly don’t waste your money, the only reason I’m not giving it 1 star is because it tastes nice.

Hey Aiden,

Thanks for the honest review, and hey, we'll take the win on the taste! 🍯

We hear you about not feeling anything, especially after trying two jars of our Nepal variety. Here's the thing: mad honey works differently for everyone, and metabolism, body weight, and whether your stomach's empty all play a big role. One thing we do want to flag with care, a whole jar in one day is way beyond what we ever recommend, and taking more at once won't unlock a stronger experience, so please don't go that route. Every batch we ship is lab-tested, and you can peek at your batch's numbers here: https://www.realmadhoney.com/pages/lab-report.

We'd really like to look into this properly with you, so please email us at support@realmadhoney.com and our team will take care of you.

I take it on a night before bed.

I take it on a night before bed and it really works for me. I'm normally a fairly light sleeper and I toss n turn but on the nights I've took the honey I sleep right through and dont think I move much at all. I wake on a morning feeling so refreshed compared to my normal wake up yawning routine. I absolutely love it and I'm so pleased I took the plunge to buy some and of course I most definitely recommend it to anyone to try and hope you get the same positive outcome I am having with it.
Its an excellent quality honey with a strong honey taste.
