FAQs
Unlike many mass-market energy gels, Buzz Power is made from natural, unprocessed ingredients; making it actively good for your body, as well as race times. Buzz Power is gut-friendly, water soluble (yet isotonic), contains zero artificial additives or flavourings, and is the only sports fuel product made from responsibly sourced, certified organic raw honey.
98.7% pure organic honey. 1.3% electrolytes (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium citrate).
Buzz Power is the first natural alternative to energy gels, which is made from 98% raw organic honey. We are not a flavoured gel, nor do we add token amounts of mass-produced honey, which has mostly likely been boiled and sterilised, and therefore doesn't retain the health benefits of raw honey.
Buzz Power contains 98% raw organic honey, which has been sustainably sourced from organic bee farmers who share our ethical and environmentally-minded values.
Raw honey is an incredible source of natural carbohydrate – approximately 50-50 fructose and glucose (glucose provides an instant energy release, whereas fructose is a source of more sustained energy).
Then, we add performance electrolytes, developed with sports nutritionists, to help you replace minerals lost through excess sweating.
“I use Buzz Power to keep my glucose in range. 3.5hrs into a six hour ride, my energy stores started to drop but Buzz kept me going for the next hour - and they taste delicious!” Type 1 diabetic cyclist Ross Mallen, cycling the La Carrasqueta climb near Alicante
“I love Buzz Power due to it being natural and easy to digest. Normally, I find gels difficult to digest and dislike the aftertaste and texture, but the honey is nothing like I’ve ever tasted! Buzz Power has always helped to push me to the end!” Elizabeth Stewart, Ironman World Championships at Vitoria-Gastiez, 1st Place (18-24)
“Hi, my partner and I recently discovered you at the cycling show at the NEC. We have both been fuelled on our recent bike rides and love the product.” Nicola Brooks Parfitt

Not only is it actively good for your gut, honey is much easier for the body to ‘stomach’ as the enzymes in this golden liquid stabilise the fructose and glucose and stop it being turned into sucrose, which can be harsh on the stomach, and cause the bloating and, ahem, ‘upset’ that conventional gels sometimes leave us with.
The trial found that honey, when given to competitive cyclists at 10 mile intervals of a simulated 40 mile race, significantly increased power and speed over the placebo and equalled the performance of glucose (the carb which makes up the bulk of most conventional energy gels).
The research paper said, “This study shows that honey is an effective carbohydrate for endurance athletes. “Our first study suggested honey could operate as a ‘time released’ muscle fuel for exercising muscles. Our second experiment suggest that honey would be a good carbohydrate source to replenish muscles. However, our last study convinced us that honey can improve endurance exercise capacity,” concluded the authors.
The research was sponsored by the American National Honey Board, however, the results demonstrate the honey is an effective, safe and healthy source of energy for runners, cyclists and other endurance athletes.
This is because honey contains hydrogen peroxide. Yep, you heard that right. Honey is a healthy (and safe) source of one of the most powerful antiseptics known to science and nature.

Regular commercial honey is regularly pasteurized, which gives the honey a clearer appearance, but also kills off many of the actively beneficial trace elements. The ultrafiltration process also removes enzymes and antioxidants. If you buy commercial honey, check the label to ensure it doesn’t include sweeteners like corn syrup.
The best way to guarantee a good source of honey is to look for certified organic honey products, like Buzz Power. Or buy honey from a local supplier at your local market.
While Buzz Power is ideal for lots of family activities, like camping or hiking, please don't give it, or any raw honey, to babies under the age of 12 months.
