Is There Honey in HoneyBoost? What the Label Lists
Is there honey in HoneyBoost? Not on the label. The front says “Honey Flavor”, and the Other ingredients list names ten items: sugar, corn syrup, water, pectin, citric acid, natural flavor, guar gum, tapioca starch, sodium citrate and artificial color. Honey is not one of them, so we do not say the gummy contains honey.

Short answer
Is there honey in HoneyBoost gummies?
No honey is listed. The label prints “Honey Flavor” on the front, and the Other ingredients line begins with sugar and corn syrup.
US labels list ingredients in descending order by weight, and each one is named. If honey were an ingredient, it would appear in that line by name. We read the supplied label at full size and found none.
The name invites a different guess. HoneyBoost sounds like a honey product, and the seller's pages use honey imagery. We cannot say why the name was chosen. We can say what is printed, and that is flavor, not honey.
Name and flavor point to honey. The ingredient list does not. The label wins, so this site never says the gummy contains honey.
Line by line
What are the other ingredients in HoneyBoost?
The Other ingredients line has ten items: sugar, corn syrup, water, pectin, citric acid, natural flavor, guar gum, tapioca starch, sodium citrate and artificial color.
The table sorts them by the job they usually do in a gummy. The roles are general food-science roles, not statements from the label.
| Ingredient | Usual job in a gummy | Is it honey? |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar | Sweetener, bulk | No |
| Corn syrup | Sweetener, texture | No |
| Water | Mixing base | No |
| Pectin | Gelling agent | No |
| Citric acid | Tartness, balance | No |
| Natural flavor | Taste, here “Honey Flavor” | Not named as honey |
| Guar gum | Thickener | No |
| Tapioca starch | Texture, anti-stick | No |
| Sodium citrate | Acidity control | No |
| Artificial color | Color | No |
The “natural flavor” row is the only one that could hide something related. A natural flavor is a flavoring made from natural sources, and the label does not say which. We do not claim it contains honey, and we do not claim it does not. We report that honey is not named.
Words matter
What is the difference between honey flavor and honey?
Honey flavor is a taste added to a product. Honey is a food, made by bees, that would be listed as an ingredient.
A gummy can taste like honey with none in it, in the same way a strawberry candy can have no strawberry. The flavor line tells you the intended taste. The ingredient list tells you what is in it.
- If you avoid honey for an allergy, diet or infant feeding, treat the label as your guide and ask the distributor, GEX Corp LLP, about “natural flavor”.
- If you want honey for its taste, expect a flavored gummy, with 3 g of added sugar.
- If you read “honey” in the name as a health claim, note that the label makes none about honey.
The same label says “Lab Tested, No Artificial Additives” and lists artificial color. See the label vs offer page for that conflict. For the form itself, see the gummy form page.
A common question
“Does honey boost testosterone?” What does the evidence say?
The evidence is thin. A 2019 review of honey and testosterone found it comes mainly from animal studies, and the authors say human trials are still needed (Honey and testosterone (review, 2019)).
Two points follow. First, that research is about honey, and HoneyBoost lists none. It would not apply to the gummy even if it were strong. Second, “Does honey boost testosterone” is a search question, not a label claim. The label makes no testosterone claim in words.
If you want to know your testosterone, a doctor can order a blood test (MedlinePlus, Testosterone levels test). Low levels are a separate medical cause with their own treatment (Mayo Clinic, Male hypogonadism (low testosterone)).
A honey flavor does not make the gummy a health food. Each one has 3 g of added sugar, and the AHA recommends most men keep added sugar under about 36 g a day (AHA, Added sugars).

How can you check whether a gummy contains honey?
Read the Other ingredients line and look for the word honey. If it is not there, the product does not name it as an ingredient.

It sits under the Supplement Facts rows. On HoneyBoost it begins with sugar and corn syrup.
Search for the word honey
Also look for terms such as honey powder. None appears on this label.
Look at flavor words
“Natural flavor” and “Honey Flavor” name a taste, not a food.
Ask the distributor if it matters
For an allergy, call the number on the label, +1 (507) 448-8190, and ask in writing.
Tracking and refunds on orders placed through this site go to a different desk, +1 (302) 200-3480, so use the label's number for ingredient questions.
What is in it
What is actually in HoneyBoost besides flavor?
Seven active lines under the sugar rows, each with its amount: zinc 2.5 mg, tongkat ali extract 25 mg, and 10 mg each of maca, horny goat weed, damiana, mucuna and L-arginine.
Those six extract and amino lines add up to 75 mg, about 1.8% of the 4,200 mg gummy. The rest is mostly the sugar and syrup above. See the ingredients page and the extract ratios page for how to read them.
The label says do not take it if you are pregnant or lactating, have a medical condition or take other medications, and to consult a physician first. Keep taking prescribed medicine, and ask a doctor or pharmacist about levodopa, nitrates, blood pressure or diabetes medicine.
FAQ
HoneyBoost questions people ask
Does HoneyBoost contain real honey?
The label does not list honey. It prints “Honey Flavor” on the front, and the Other ingredients are sugar, corn syrup, water, pectin, citric acid, natural flavor, guar gum, tapioca starch, sodium citrate and artificial color.
Why is it called HoneyBoost if it has no honey?
We cannot say why the maker chose the name, and the maker is not named on the label. The name and the “Honey Flavor” line suggest honey, but the ingredient list is what shows what is in the gummy.
“Does honey boost testosterone?” Is there proof?
The evidence is thin. A 2019 review found it comes mainly from animal studies and says human trials are needed. HoneyBoost lists no honey, so that research would not apply to it.
Is HoneyBoost safe for people with bee or honey allergies?
The label lists no honey, but it names “natural flavor” without saying its source. Allergy questions belong with your doctor and the distributor. The label also lists peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy and milk as present in the facility.
What does natural flavor mean on a label?
Natural flavor is a flavoring made from natural sources, such as plants. A label does not have to say which. On this label it sits between citric acid and guar gum, with no source named.
What are all the ingredients in HoneyBoost?
Seven active lines: zinc, maca, horny goat weed, damiana, tongkat ali, mucuna and L-arginine. Ten other ingredients, led by sugar and corn syrup. The supplement facts page types out every word.
