Nature's Answer

Gels shouldn't be a gamble.

Every other sports gel wrecks your gut. Tolerability should be a given, not chance. Because your fuel has to work reliably when you count on it.

🤝

Reliably tolerated

Honey doesn't attack your gut barrier. Unlike maltodextrin. No cramps, no bathroom stops, no burping. Every time.

🌿

Superfood, not empty carbs

Enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, amino acids. A maltodextrin gel delivers none of this. Just empty carbs.

🐝

From bees, not a lab

Only 3 natural ingredients: honey, electrolytes, taurine. No colours. No flavours. Nothing that doesn't belong in nature.

Why hi honey exists

Nutrition should function.

I studied nutrition and health to understand how we can best support our bodies long term.

And I realised: nature has provided us with exceptional foods for thousands of years. Honey is one of them. Far more than just sweetness. Natural energy with valuable bioactive compounds.

Yet most sports products today are made from highly processed ingredients and long ingredient lists.

That's why I founded hi honey.

Fuel should do more than deliver energy. It should support the body. With natural ingredients and science-backed formulations.

Every ingredient with a clear purpose. That's how functional products come to life, as natural as possible, supporting health and performance equally.

Questions

You ask, we answer.

Why is hi honey reliably tolerated?
Because honey is real food, not a chemically modified carb. Maltodextrin attacks the gut barrier and causes cramps in many athletes. Honey has a natural 1:1 fructose to glucose structure that your body absorbs via two pathways at once. Gentle on the stomach. Reliable. Every time.
Why "gels shouldn't be a gamble"?
Because on race day you don't want to guess how your stomach will react. Traditional gels are roulette. Tolerability depends on chance. hi honey is reliable because it's natural. No experiment. No cramp in the last third. No bathroom stop mid-race.
Does it contain caffeine?
No. hi honey is caffeine-free. The energy comes from honey, electrolytes and taurine. no stimulants, no crash.
Is it suitable for diabetics?
hi honey is a carbohydrate-based energy source. If you have diabetes or any condition affecting blood sugar, please talk to your doctor before using it.
How many can I take per day?
For most people, 1 to 3 sachets on training days is plenty. We don't recommend more than 4 in a single day. Listen to your body.
Is it vegan? Gluten-free?
hi honey is gluten-free, soy-free, lactose-free and made without artificial colors or flavors. It contains honey, so it's not vegan, but it is vegetarian.
Where do you ship?
We currently ship across the EU. Free shipping across the EU. Most orders arrive within 3 to 5 business days.
What's the shelf life?
Each sachet has a best-before date printed on the back, typically 12+ months from production. Store in a cool, dry place.
Why honey instead of maltodextrin?
Maltodextrin is cheap and concentrated, but it's a single-pathway carb that overwhelms your gut. Honey is nature's pre-balanced fuel. same carb load, two absorption pathways, far gentler on digestion.
