About this supplement
Freeze-dried honey powder is a dehydrated form of honey produced through lyophilization, which removes water content while preserving the bioactive compounds, enzymes, and nutrients found in raw honey. This process results in a fine, hygroscopic powder that retains honey's natural sugars, antioxidants, enzymes (like glucose oxidase), vitamins, minerals, and phenolic compounds. It offers extended shelf life, easier handling, and consistent potency compared to liquid honey, while maintaining many of honey's traditional therapeutic and nutritional properties.

Chemical ID (CAS)
8028-66-8 (for honey, general)
Physical properties
Fine, off-white to light tan powder, hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from air), soluble or dispersible in water, sweet taste characteristic of honey, typically free-flowing when properly processed and stored.
How it’s made
Raw honey is first often diluted slightly with water to adjust viscosity, then frozen at very low temperatures. The frozen honey is placed in a vacuum chamber where sublimation occurs: ice crystals transition directly from solid to vapor without passing through a liquid phase, removing water content. The resulting porous, dry structure is then milled into a fine powder. The process is designed to minimize heat damage to enzymes and volatile compounds.
