HOW DOES H13 WORK?

Prevent Health Problems with H13

Wild, fresh honey has been used as folk medicine for thousands of years – and now we know why.  Fresh honey, hunted from wild bee hives, naturally contains millions of friendly bacteria that benefit your health.

With H13, we’ve recreated wild fresh honey and its natural amount of lactic acid bacteria.  H13 is the basis of all our products, providing you the ultimate natural remedy and health supplement.

Everyone has a close relationship to friendly bacteria

Lactic acid bacteria are present in the gastrointestinal tract and vagina. They defend you from infectious (unfriendly) bacteria and promote good health. That’s why they’re added to many supermarket food products.

But H13 products provide you with, by far, the largest possible mix of lactic acid bacteria available on the market. These friendly bacteria have been living together for millions of years, protecting bees, their larvae and their food. And with H13, they can protect you, too.

H13 health benefits date back thousands of years

Historically, lactic acid bacteria have been used around the world for fermenting different kinds of food, including yoghurt, sour milk, chocolate, vanilla, sourdough bread, sauerkraut, vinegar, olives, sausages, beer, mead and wine. The advantage of fermented foods is not only a longer shelf-life, but also health benefits including improved immune defenses and better digestion.

Our research group at Lund University is continually studying the benefits of lactic acid bacteria. And while we may not have 20 years of clinical studies behind H13 (yet), we are backed by thousands of years’ use of wild fresh honey as folk medicine.

H13: Treats Colds and Sore Throats

In many cultures all over the world, wild, fresh honey is an established treatment for sore throats and colds. And now we know why.  Its active ingredients are the 13 beneficial bacteria (pages 226-229) naturally found in wild, fresh honey.  Now you can also find them in H13.

Take one bag of H13 three times a day until you feel better – usually about three days.

H13 contains a mix of Swedish honeys and the 13 friendly bacteria. Each bag contains 14g honey plus the 13 friendly bacteria.  The number of bacteria per gram is the maximum number found naturally in wild, fresh honey, giving you the best possible effect on your health.

Consume directly from the bag.

HIGH13: Helps You Recharge and Recover

HIGH13 is a natural food you can use for raising energy levels or recovering from exercising. Greek athletes drank honey water to boost energy during the first Olympic Games.  Even today, it’s the ideal, all-natural sports energy drink - perfect for tough, intensive training.

For the most part, honey contains equal amounts of fructose and glucose, but also other types of sugars. Honey has a Glycemic Index (GI) average of 55 (32-85), whereas a higher concentration of fructose results in a lower GI, i.e. a more constant blood sugar level to keep you feeling strong. That’s why we’ve chosen fructose-rich Swedish honey for HIGH13.

Fends off harmful bacteria
Heavy physical training can make you vulnerable to colds and sore throats. Lactic acid bacteria in HIGH13 helps keep harmful bacteria away while your body recuperates from exercise.

One bag of HIGH13 is the right amount of honey to recharge your body before exercising, or to help you recover after.  Its natural bacteria help keep you alert and healthy.

HIGH13 contains a mix of Swedish honeys, lemon concentrate and the 13 friendly bacteria. One bag contains 28 g. The number of bacteria per gram corresponds to the average number that is naturally found in wild fresh honey.

Mix with 250 ml cold water before drinking, preferably in the HIGH13 sports drink bottle.

H13 : Nourishes and protects you

H13 is a very exotic product. You couldn’t fit more Swedish summer and nature into one little bag. Not only is there Swedish forest honey in H13 , but there’s bee pollen as well.

Bee pollen is flower pollen that bees have mixed with wild, fresh honey. It contains all the nutrients essential to bees, their friendly bacteria, and human life.

Added nutrients, protein and fiber
Pollen also has one of the highest contents of protein and fiber found in natural foods. It is an all-natural supplement that helps, for example, to build muscle, lose weight or prevent certain diseases. H13 is our most comprehensive product with the 13 friendly bacteria, plus bee pollen for an extra dose of essential nutrients.

H13 contains a mix of different honeys and bee pollen from Swedish nature, as well as the 13 friendly bacteria.  Each bag contains 14g. The number of bacteria per gram of honey corresponds to the highest amounts naturally found in wild fresh honey, to give the best possible effect.

HANG13: Prevents Hangovers

Hangovers – Take one bag of HANG13 after drinking to prevent a hangover. Many people have also found HANG13 to re-establish balance in an upset stomach after a night of drinking.

Breaks down harmful toxins
Hangovers may cause headaches, nausea, and vomiting. This is because alcohol (ethanol) breaks down in the liver in two steps. The first is from ethanol to the toxic acetaldehyde. The next is from acetaldehyde to acetic acid, which the body uses as energy. However, a certain amount of acetaldehyde does not break down to acetic acid, but rather continues to circulate in the body, which leads to headaches, nausea, and vomiting.

HANG13 contains the perfect mix of honeys for preventing hangovers. Each bag contains 14g honey plus the 13 friendly bacteria. This mix contains lots of fructose and the right types of minerals (potassium and phosphor) that together effectively help break down the rest of the acetaldehyde.

The number of bacteria per gram corresponds to the average number that is naturally found in wild fresh honey.

This product includes a mobile phone app that uses GPS to remind you to take your HANG13.

For best results, take one bag of HANG13 directly after drinking.

Consume directly from the bag.
