What it is
Honey is a thick, golden liquid made by honey bees. Bees collect nectar from flowers, carry it back to the hive and fan it until much of the water is gone. They store the result in wax honeycomb cells, which is why honey and honeycomb appear together on the HoneyPower bottle art.
Where it comes from
Beekeepers around the world harvest honey from hives. Its color and taste change with the flowers the bees visit, from pale and mild to dark and rich. Records of people eating honey go back thousands of years.
Why it is in HoneyPower
Pure honey is named on the HoneyPower product graphic and gives the formula its honey-based character.* The Supplement Facts panel on your HoneyPower bottle lists the exact formula and amounts. Pure Honey: The Golden Base tells the full story, and Why a Honey Base Makes a Capsule Feel Different looks at the idea.
