A Story of Incredible Coincidence
In 2006, co-founder of Naturacopia, David Gee, was a senior executive at a British biotech company focused on developing an anticancer drug, an antiviral drug, and a vaccine adjuvant (immune stimulant) derived from specific iminosugars found in various European plants. His colleague, Professor Robert Nash, served as the Chief Scientific O
In 2006, co-founder of Naturacopia, David Gee, was a senior executive at a British biotech company focused on developing an anticancer drug, an antiviral drug, and a vaccine adjuvant (immune stimulant) derived from specific iminosugars found in various European plants. His colleague, Professor Robert Nash, served as the Chief Scientific Officer and was the inventor behind the company's product pipeline. Dr. Nash, a world-renowned leader in phytochemistry, particularly in soluble carbohydrates like sugars found in plant species, along with his team at Aberystwyth University in Wales, discovered several intriguing rare plant chemicals, including iminosugars, that exhibited profound effects in cell cultures and later in animal studies. Of particular interest was Casuarine, a natural sugar component (also known as Iminose), which demonstrated activity against tumors and infections in classic animal models of disease. One day, a local honey importer specializing in African honeys visited the laboratory with samples from African villages, claiming that their honey had distinctive health benefits and was utilized as a health supplement by local villagers. He suspected these honeys might possess antiseptic properties, much like the renowned Manuka honey of New Zealand. Professor Nash was astonished to find that the very same lead iminosugar, Casuarine, which they were developing and had isolated from a Mediterranean plant, was present in high concentrations in some batches of the African honey. Remarkably, the honey originated from specific regions of Africa where a close relative of their Mediterranean plant grows. This incredible coincidence revealed that a man living near their research laboratory in deepest Wales brought African wild honey for analysis, which contained nectar from plants closely related to their own, naturally concentrating their candidate drug in the honey. It was a rare moment of fortune and coincidence, uncovering this golden treasure that not only hinted at honey health benefits but also opened up exciting possibilities, including potential applications like honey for pets.
Wellness for Both Humans & Animals
Iminohoney is unique due to its content of the specific iminosugar Casuarine, derived from the Mediterranean plant Myrtus communis.

Iminohoney is unique due to its content of the specific iminosugar Casuarine, derived from the Mediterranean plant Myrtus communis. This natural honey is sourced from regions in Africa where this plant species thrives. Bees collect nectar and pollen from these flowering plants, concentrating the valuable iminosugar, Casuarine, in their honey. Only those batches of honey from Africa with a significant concentration of Casuarine are selected, while the others are sold as general honey for human consumption. Iminohoney is a 100% natural honey that boasts a distinctive pleasant taste and color, processed and packaged to meet human food standards. The natural iminosugar Casuarine found in Iminohoney has been shown to boost the immune response in both animal and human cell cultures (data on file) and offers various honey health benefits. This product is particularly beneficial for maintaining quality of life and health conditions in aging individuals. Iminohoney may help strengthen the immune response, especially where it is weak or ineffective against issues like parasites, infections, tumors, and certain chronic health conditions. Offered in convenient single portion 5ml sachets (in boxes of 10), it serves as a supplement that can be given to seniors or senior pets mixed with their food once every three days. However, we do not recommend this honey for pets with diabetes, diabetic individuals, or those suffering from sugar-related metabolic diseases.
Selected for Natural Casuarine Content
All batches of IminoHoney are carefully selected by measuring their natural Casuarine content, which is essential for maximizing the honey health benefits associated with this key component. IminoHoney stands out as the first and only natural honey product specifically selected for its Casuarine levels, making it an excellent choice, even as honey for pets, due to its rich iminosugars.
