HYMN cycle
How does it work?
Deep Sleep
Honey uses the body's natural cycles to produce endogenous melatonin.
The HYMN [Honey-Insulin-Melatonin-Neurohormone] cycle is the process in which melatonin is synthesized naturally 1-2 hours after honey consumption.
- Individual consumes honey, triggering the release of insulin via a glucose spike.
- Insulin clears amino acids from the bloodstream, paving way for tryptophan to be released.
- Tryptophan, once in the brain, converts to serotonin, the precursor for melatonin production.
- Simultaneously, the fructose in honey feeds the liver glycogen which sustains deep brain detox + restoration for 8+ hours.
Unlike synthetic melatonin, the HYMN cycle is authentic to your body's natural cycles. This promotes restorative sleep that supports memory, repair, and hormonal recovery.

Smart Sugar*
Pre-workout
Post-workout
The fructose in honey is slow releasing, providing a steady supply of sugar for the body and brain to use throughout exertion.
The glucose in honey is slurped up almost immediately, making Honey an ideal source of quick energy for endurance sports like running, jogging, or hiking.
With 22 amino acids, 27 minerals, and 5000+ enzymes, raw Honey is a superior, nutrient dense pre-workout fuel source.
The cortisol-insulin connection is a big part of recovery! Generally, when cortisol is high, insulin is low [body intelligence, hormonal balance] and vice versa. When we exercise, cortisol skyrockets so that our body can give it all it's got. Too much cortisol can eventually break down our muscle, so its important to lower cortisol post-workout. Spiking insulin post-workout with Honey can help lower its antagonist hormone, cortisol.
pro tip: Research suggests consuming 30g of honey per hour of exercise.
