Natural Composition & Bioactive Richness
✅
Sugars: ~38% fructose, ~31% glucose, with trace maltose and sucrose—giving instant energy and characteristic sweetness
✅
Minerals & vitamins: Includes iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, plus 30+ trace minerals and water-soluble vitamins, notably vitamin C
✅
pH & stability: Slightly acidic (pH ~3.2–4.5), helping inhibit bacterial growth and enhancing preservability—shelf life of honey up to 18 months
