B-fuel honey

Designed to appeal to gym bunnies, Scottish Bee Company’s B-Gel sachets of heather honey contain 25g of carbs (15kcal of raw energy) with natural antimicrobial properties which foster beneficial bacteria to support good health.

Scottish Bee says Scottish heather honey offers a similar nutritional impetus to the world-renowned Manuka honey of New Zealand, supplying 10x more manganese than everyday honey alternatives, including anti-inflammatory upsides which support swifter recovery.

Company co-founder, Suzie Millar, says: “Everyone knows about the countless benefits of quality honey as a trusted spread, porridge topping, baking and cooking essential and sore throat remedy, but as a sports aid honey has historically hidden its light under a bushel.

“We wanted to add an easy-to-use squidgy sachet of best-in-class honey that can be effortlessly consumed mid-run or workout. There is so much caffeine and synthetic gloop in the marketplace; we just wanted to remind people that as with so many things, nature often has the answer.”

Scottish Bee B-Gel sachets are available from wholesalers including Diverse, Cotswold Fayre CLF and Cress.
