The Cliff Mad Honey Science Hub is committed to establishing clear, evidence-based safety standards for Mad Honey. Our guidelines are designed to protect consumers, inform regulators, and support responsible practices within the Mad Honey industry. This section outlines proposed grayanotoxin ranges, recommended maximum consumption amounts, and essential laboratory testing requirements.
Understanding the grayanotoxin (GTX) content is crucial for assessing the safety and potential effects of Mad Honey. We propose the following classification
| GTX Range (mg/kg) | Risk Band | Recommended Max Dose (Adults) | Guidance for Consumers |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 5 | Low Risk | 1-2 Tablespoons (15-30g) | Generally safe for most healthy adults. Start with a small amount to assess individual sensitivity. |
| 5 - 15 | Moderate Risk | 1 Tablespoon (15g) | May induce mild effects (dizziness, tingling). Avoid if you have cardiovascular conditions, are pregnant, or taking medications. |
| 15 - 30 | High Risk | 1 Teaspoon (5g) | Strong psychoactive and physiological effects are likely. Not recommended for novice users. High risk of adverse reactions. |
| > 30 | Extreme Risk | Not Recommended | Very high risk of severe toxicity, including profound bradycardia and hypotension. Seek medical advice before any consumption. |
Note: These are general guidelines. Individual sensitivity to grayanotoxins can vary significantly. Always consult a healthcare professional before consuming Mad Honey, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or are on medication.
To ensure the safety and quality of Mad Honey, comprehensive laboratory testing is essential. We recommend the following parameters for analysis
