Manna Gut Honey

Green beans, corn relish, peaches, tomatoes. And honey, rows and rows of it, in wide-mouth jars on the shelf of nearly every farm pantry.

Nobody on those farms talked about a microbiome. They ate what lasted, and honey lasted. Raw, unfiltered, and kept within reach.

What science has since found

1A busy neighbourhood in the gut

The gut holds trillions of bacteria and is wired to the brain through the vagus nerve (Browning et al., Gastroenterology 2017).

2Bacteria that talk back

Spore-forming gut bacteria promoted serotonin production in research published in Cell (Yano et al., 2015).

Old food, new formula

Manna Gut Honey starts where those pantries did: raw, unheated Canadian clover and wildflower honey. Then it adds what we have learned since, a spore-forming probiotic, slippery elm and L-glutamine, in one sachet each morning.

What is in one sachet

Raw wildflower honeyRaw, unheated Canadian clover and wildflower honey. The base that carries everything else.
Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856A spore-forming probiotic with a natural protective shell.
Slippery elm bark (1.7 g)A traditional herb that forms a soft coating when it meets water.
L-glutamine (500 mg)An amino acid the cells lining your gut use as fuel.

One sachet every morning, before food or coffee. Tear it open and take it straight, on a spoon, or stirred into tea. About ten seconds.
