Hi Alan!
This review has us absolutely buzzing, from the calm teaspoon start to the legendary Weetabix moment, we love that you went on this journey with us 😄🍯 Waking up fresh is always the sign of a good night well spent. Four orders in and going straight for the big jars? That's the move. We're so glad you found us, and even more glad you keep coming back. Your words mean everything to the whole team here.

All positive reviews are fake
All positive reviews are fake, notice how much more human the negative reviews are compared to the positive reviews. I can’t believe I’ve spent 40 quid on a crappy wooden jar of honey.

Hi Bryn!
We're sorry to hear you're feeling this way, and we completely understand the frustration when something doesn't meet your expectations, especially at this price point.
We want to address your concerns directly though: our positive reviews are absolutely genuine, and we're proud of the community of customers who take the time to share their experiences with us.
Every jar of Real Mad Honey is independently lab-tested before it reaches you, and those results are publicly available for anyone to check at https://www.realmadhoney.com/pages/lab-report, full transparency is something we take seriously. As for the effects, sensitivity to the natural grayanotoxins varies quite a bit from person to person, and factors like dosage, timing, and individual body chemistry all play a role in the experience.
We'd genuinely love the chance to make this right for you. Drop us a message at support@realmadhoney.com with your order details and we'll personally look into your experience and find a way forward together.
Warm regards,

Living with constant pain
Living with Fibromyalgia, Cervical Spine stenosis, and a fractured L5-S1 disc can be challenging. After discovering Real Mad Honey, I researched it thoroughly and decided to give it a try. I ordered three jars of Nepal Honey and was pleasantly surprised by its effects. The honey produced a warm, numbing sensation that spread from my mouth and tongue down to my belly, followed by a calming, relaxing feeling. I've found it to be particularly helpful when combined with cannabis, allowing me to manage my pain more effectively. Real Mad Honey has also become a valuable tool in helping me sleep and find comfort without relying on addictive medications like Oxycontin or Tylenol with codeine.

Hi Joe!
Reading this genuinely stopped us in our tracks, thank you so much for taking the time to share something so personal. Managing multiple chronic conditions takes real strength, and knowing that Real Mad Honey has played a role in helping you find comfort, better sleep, and reduced reliance on heavy medications is deeply moving for us to hear.
That warm, spreading sensation you described followed by the calming wave, that's exactly what our customers in the wellness community talk about most, and it's beautiful to hear it translating so meaningfully for you. The fact that it's working so well alongside your other tools makes us incredibly happy.
We love that you found your rhythm with it.

Hi Kevin!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're sorry to hear the honey didn't deliver the effects you were hoping for, that's genuinely not what we want for any of our customers.
Mad Honey's effects are closely tied to a few key factors: serving size, timing, and individual body chemistry. For the fuller experience, we recommend 1–2 tablespoons on a completely empty stomach, then waiting a full 45–60 minutes before drawing any conclusions. Many people who don't feel much at first find that adjusting these two things makes a real difference.
Every batch is also independently lab-tested, so if you'd like to verify the grayanotoxin levels in your jar, you're welcome to check your batch report here: https://www.realmadhoney.com/pages/lab-report
We'd love the chance to help you get the experience you were after, feel free to reach out to us at support@realmadhoney.com and we'll be happy to guide you personally!

Avoid Avoid Avoid,
Avoid Avoid Avoid,
Its pure scam,
I even bought the Turkey version which is a bit weaker than the Nepal Version,so I got both of them,tried it with a bunch of friends,a total of 5,we tested it,35-1 hour later nothing,we took half a spoon then we took a full spoon of the turkey stuff while the others tried the nepal stuff,nothing,0 effects absolutely felt nothing,
Empty stomachs? Checked.
Half a teaspoon? Checked.
A full one teaspoon ? Checked.
Tried it on other days,same amount if not a bit more? Checked.
Tastes like honey,but the lies behind this company...
77 euros spent...
Thanks RealMadHoney.com for scamming me out of money for regular honey thats just a bit tastier ;)
Avoid,go spend the money on something else,
I bet they are searching up a reason to deny my experience just like everyone else did when they left a 1 star...
Give me my money back you thieves!

Hi Simon!
We appreciate you laying it all out, both variants, multiple days, empty stomachs, a group of five people. That's a thorough test and your frustration after spending €77 with no noticeable effect is completely understandable.
Here's what we can tell you: our honey is genuinely wild-harvested and every single batch is lab-tested before it ships. Those results are public and available at realmadhoney.com/pages/lab-report, your batch is in there and anyone can verify it. The fact that it tastes like honey is actually expected, grayanotoxins are naturally tasteless and odorless, so potency has nothing to do with flavor. That said, sensitivity does vary significantly between people based on metabolism, body weight, and individual tolerance, which can mean the same jar lands very differently across a group.
We're not dismissing your experience, we want to investigate it. Please get in touch at support@realmadhoney.com with your order number and we'll review your specific batch and address your refund request personally.
Warm regards,

We love a good "didn't believe it until I tried it" story, and that clear-headed feeling after just a teaspoon is exactly why so many people end up making it part of their daily routine! The honey has a quiet way of winning people over.

Hi Synth!
Hey, thanks for being honest, we genuinely hear you, and we're sorry the experience fell short of what you were hoping for. One thing worth knowing is that mad honey works very differently from regular honey, and the way it's consumed makes a big difference. A whole jar in one sitting is actually way more than the recommended amount, we suggest starting with just 1 teaspoon and waiting 45–60 minutes to feel the effects, rather than eating it like regular honey.
We'd love a chance to make this right, if you reach out to us at support@realmadhoney.com with your order details, we're happy to help find a solution for you.

Hi Sophie!
Progress is progress, and when you've been struggling to wind down at night, "definitely better than before" is genuinely worth celebrating! 🌙
Everyone's body responds a little differently, so finding that sweet spot with dosage and timing can take a little experimenting. Most people find taking it 30–45 minutes before bed on a relatively empty stomach helps get the most out of it.
So glad you're giving it a proper chance, we think you'll keep noticing the difference. 🍯

Love real mad honey
I love REAL MAD HONEY! I was watching their documentary about the locals in Nepal who are harvesting this. I was curious, and I heard there's good benefits from taking this honey. So I went and got it myself. It was sooo good. And the euphoria is real, I've never felt this sense of calmness before.

This arrived today
This arrived today. I took 1/2 a teaspoon and chilled out. It lasted 40 mins. Then I took another and after about 10 mins fell asleep for 1/2 hour. So half a teaspoon lasts 40 mins but you are still calm when it wears off. Just not under the influence of it. So
So far I love it. Tonight I will try a whole teaspoon.

Hi Jacqueline!
We're so glad your first experience went smoothly! Starting with half a teaspoon is exactly the right move, and it sounds like your body responded beautifully. That lingering calm you described even after the main effects wind down, that's the honey doing its thing in the best way. A full teaspoon tonight should give you a lovely step up, just make sure you've had a light meal beforehand and give it the full 45–60 minutes to settle in before deciding if you want more.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this, it genuinely made our day.
