Did you Know?

• Honey contains vitamin B12 and other nutrients,
  but it wont be beneficial to your health if you
  consume too much of it.

• Pure honey is known as mans first sweetener. Man
  has consumed honey thousands of years before
  sugar was produced. This sweet and thick syrup is
  added to a number of beverages and foods to
  flavor them and lengthen their shelf life.
• But what makes pure, unprocessed honey truly
  special are the health benefits it provides.
  Pure, unprocessed honey possesses antioxidant
  properties, which are found in the tiny flecks of
  enzyme-rich pollen and propolis. Approximately 18
  essential and non-essential amino acids, the
  foundational blocks of protein, are present in
  pure, unprocessed honey.

• Most of the antioxidants present in honey are
  also found in green leafy vegetables, including
  flavonoids that help increase your energy,
  promote healthy balance, support enzyme function,
  and soothe your skin.
• Pure honey contains the enzymes acid phosphatase,
  catalase, diastase, invertase, inulase, and
  glucose oxidase, which aid in digestion and
  assimilation. The minerals calcium, chromium,
  copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous,
  potassium, selenium, and zinc are also found in
  pure honey.

B Vitamins Facts

• B vitamins, specifically vitamin B1, vitamin B2,
  vitamin B3, vitamin B5, vitamin B7, and vitamin
  B12, as well as vitamin C, are found in honey.
  Vitamin B12 is mostly available in animal
  tissues, including foods like beef, beef liver,
  chicken, eggs, lamb, salmon, scallops, shrimp,
  snapper, and venison.
• Strict vegans and vegetarians are more likely to
  develop vitamin B12 deficiency. Since vitamin B12
  is not found in plants, you increase your risk of
  vitamin B12 deficiency if you avoid meat and
  animal products.

• Pure honey may be safer than most sweeteners, but
  its still made up of 70 percent fructose. It
  will not be health-promoting when consumed in
  high amounts. This is the reason why its not a
  good source of vitamin B12.
• Eating vitamin B12-rich foods is not a guarantee
  that you will are getting sufficient levels.
  Vitamin B12 is difficult to assimilate because it
  is the largest among all vitamins. Since the
  large size of vitamin B12 is your main problem
  when it comes to absorbing it, the solution is a
  delivery system that can shrink its size.
