Comes from the same hive as the royal jelly honey but it is food for the worker bees. It has superior antioxidant properties due to its high content of phenolic acid and flavonoid. University Of Illinois At Urbana-Champaign stated "Dark Honey Has More Illness-Fighting Agents than Light Honey." ScienceDaily, 8 July 1998. In an article published in the Journal of Apicultural Research, the researchers say darker honey has less water and more antioxidants than light-colored honey.
Therefore, alternative treatment that is rich in antioxidant and can exert an anti-inflammatory effect can be given to replace the conventional ERT. Tualang honey is one of the best options as it contains antioxidant and exerts anti-inflammatory effect. This can act as a free radical scavenger, reducing the oxidative stress level and inhibit proinflammatory cytokine. This will result in survival of osteoblasts, reduced osteoclastogenic activity, and resulting in reduce bone loss. Hence, Tualang honey can be used as an alternative treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis with minimal side effects. It was shown to prevent uterine atrophy, vaginal epithelium atrophy, promote increased bone density and suppress the increased of body weight seen in menopausal state.
Honey reduces oxidative stress. Free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in contributing to the processes of aging and disease. Humans protect themselves from these damaging compounds, in part, by absorbing antioxidants from high-antioxidant foods. Dark honey with high phenolic antioxidants can reduce the effects of aging. The regular use of honey as a sweetener in common foods could result in an enhanced antioxidant defense system in healthy adults.
It is bold in flavor and most rich in iron. Dark honey works well as sweetener on oatmeal or in breads.

The royal jelly honey, the creamy white honey or pale yellowish honey is also known as milk of bees. It is food for bees’ larvae and queen bee. It contains 10-hydroxy decenoic acid which gives the sour taste which can inhibit bacterial growth. It has high concentration of vitamins B5, B6, and amino acids and is believed to be a potent antioxidant. It highly promotes tissue growth, muscle and cell regeneration. In animals, royal jelly seems to have some activity against tumours and the development of “hardening of the arteries.” In the Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine (March,
2014) the research findings indicate the ability of royal jelly to help maintain blood sugar levels while controlling oxidative stress. The report suggests that it may be a natural alternative for preventing and even reversing Type 2 diabetes
It not only nourishes the body internally but rejuvenates externally as well. Royal jelly honey is associated with healthier skin, hair and youthful appearance. Rich in estradiol, a major estrogen functioning as the primary female sex hormone, it is commonly known to be effective in treating women who have problems with their menstruation such as abnormal cycle, pain, discomfort, and fatigue. However breast cancer patients are advised against consuming it due to the interactive effects of estrogen.
