Keep the evening ritual. Lose the morning after.

A natural nightcap with no alcohol in it. One teaspoon of wild mad honey, at the time you'd usually pour a glass. Most people describe a calm, mellow buzz.

4.9 from 3,772 reviewsWho shouldn't take it

Your body clocked off an hour ago. Your head didn't.

You get home and there's nothing left in the tank. The meeting is still replaying. So you pour one, and honestly, it works. That's the whole point of it.

It's what comes with it. One quietly turning into two. Waking at 3am with the meeting still going round. The slightly puffy start to the next day.

The ritual was never the problem.What it costs you is.

You don't have to give up the pause, or the moment the day ends. You just need something else to reach for, on the evenings you want one.

Never been much of a drinker? Same idea. A small ritual of your own that marks the end of the day.

Wait. Honey?

Yes, honey. Just not the kind in your cupboard.

Mad honey comes from wild bees on mountain cliffs in Nepal. They feed on rhododendron flowers, and the nectar carries a natural compound called grayanotoxin. A small amount of it is what gives this honey its calm, mellow effect. People in the Himalayas have known about it for centuries.

Wild, never farmed
Harvested by hand from cliff colonies, in short seasonal windows. Nothing added, never blended.

Calm and present. Still completely you.

The way people describe it: a warm, calm feeling settles in and the noise in your head turns down. More like the evening finally starts.

Some feel it clearly. Some barely. Both are normal.

It's a wild product, so strength varies from batch to batch, and everyone's sensitivity is different. A heavy dinner beforehand softens it too.

If you feel very little, don't take more that evening. Try again another evening, on a lighter stomach. And if it's still not for you, that's what the 60-day guarantee is for.

One evening, roughly

  1. One level teaspoon, at the time you'd usually pour.
  2. For most people it settles in somewhere between 15 and 60 minutes.
  3. It fades gently on its own, over 1 to 4 hours.
  4. No alcohol in it, so nothing to sleep off.

You've probably tried the swaps.

Here's how they stack up on the three things people tell us they want from the evening.

Why does a small jar cost this much?

It's harvested by hand from cliff colonies in short seasonal windows, there's only so much of it, and every batch is lab-tested before it's sold. On three jars it works out at $4.76 an evening.

Who it's not for

It's a potent food. A few people should skip it, or check with a doctor first.

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding: please don't take it.
  • On blood pressure or heart medication, or anything that affects heart rate or the nervous system: ask your doctor first.
  • A heart or blood pressure condition: ask your doctor first.
  • Under 18: not for you.
  • Never with alcohol, and don't drive after taking it.

Took more than a teaspoon and feel lightheaded? Take no more, drink water and rest somewhere safe. If you feel faint or it doesn't pass, get medical help.

A wooden spoon of dark honey dripping into an open bamboo jar of Real Mad Honey

One spoon. Then let the evening happen.

  1. At the time you'd usually pour

    One level teaspoon, about 5 ml. A teaspoon, not a tablespoon. Straight off the spoon, or stirred into a warm (not hot) drink. An empty or light stomach works best.

  2. Sit down and give it time

    Give it up to an hour. Don't take a second spoon the same evening, even if you feel little.

  3. Notice how it lands

    Next time, adjust only if you need to, and only on another evening.

Three rules that never changeNever together with alcohol. Not every day, just the evenings you'd reach for a drink. At home, and not before you drive.

Every batch, tested and published.

Because mad honey is wild, its strength varies. So every batch is tested by an independent lab before we buy it, and we publish the numbers instead of describing them. This is the latest one.

About the knockoffs

Choose your jars
Is it legal?

Yes. Mad honey is sold as a food and isn't a controlled substance. We ship to the US, the UK, the EU and Canada.

Will I feel out of it?

No. At one teaspoon, people describe calm and a quieter head. You stay present. If you ever feel too slowed down, it's a sign you took more than you need.

What if I feel nothing?

That happens, and it's normal. Check the basics first: one full level teaspoon, on a light stomach, and give it up to an hour. Try again on another evening rather than taking more. If it's still not for you, email us within 60 days of delivery for your money back.

A teaspoon or a tablespoon?

A teaspoon. One level teaspoon, about 5 ml, is the starting point. Wait up to an hour, and only adjust on another evening.

Can I have it with a glass of wine?

No. One or the other. If you've already had a drink, save the spoon for another evening.

Can I take it every evening?

It's not meant as a daily habit. Keep it for the evenings you'd otherwise reach for a drink.

I take blood pressure medication. Can I use it?

Please ask your doctor first. At larger servings, mad honey can lower blood pressure and heart rate, so it's not worth guessing.

Can I take it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

No. Please don't take it while pregnant or breastfeeding.

What does it taste like?

Earthy and rich, darker than normal honey, with a slight warmth at the back of the throat. Some people love it from the first spoon. Some need a few evenings.

How long does a jar last?

A 50 g jar holds about 7 teaspoons, so about 7 evenings.

How do I know my jar is real?

Every batch has a lab report. Enter your order number on our lab report page and you'll see the one for your jar.

How does the 60-day guarantee work?

Email support@realmadhoney.com within 60 days of delivery, with your order number. The refund goes back to your original payment method within 14 business days.

Where does it ship from, and what does it cost?

Your next evening in, try one spoon.
