Standardized Bioactive Chemistry (The "Why" Factor)
Verified Casuarine Content: Unlike other honeys, Iminohoney is analytically verified by specialized glycochemistry laboratories (Dr. Nash Glycohealth) using proprietary methodologies to ensure Casuarine content, a rare, plant-derived iminosugar.
Casuarine is also known as Iminose A. The IUPAC chemical name for the natural compound Casuarine (a polyhydroxylated pyrrolizidine alkaloid) is (1R, 2R, 3R, 6S, 7S, 7aR)-3-(hydroxymethyl)hexahydro-1H-pyrrolizine-1,2,6,7-tetrol. Its chemical formula is C8H15NO5. Casuarine is well-known in pharmacology as a potent glycosidase inhibitor often extracted from plants like Casuarina equisetifolia and Eugenia jambolana.
In Iminohoney, Casuarine is measured in rare African honey's where bees forage for nectar from the flowers of Casuarine-rich plant species.
Beyond Geography
Microclimates, soil, season, aspect, rainfall and foraging variables mean that standard African honey chemical fingerprints vary widely. Iminohoney is unique in that it caries the Casuarine Quality Mark, verifying batch to batch Casuarine-content consistency.
Mechanism of Action
Glucose Inhibition & Immune Modulation: Casuarine acts as an iminosugar that interacts with cellular carbohydrate-processing enzymes (glucosidases). This interaction alters glycoprotein processing which modulates immune cell signaling and metabolic pathways.
Immune Activation Support: we and our partners have preclinical data on file that indicates an immunomodulation effect mediated by Casuarine via C-Type Lectin receptors on immune calls.
Uses in Pet Care
Iminohoney has a number of different potential applications as a supplement to support pet health:
Geriatric Support - Ideal as a natural, low-risk, supplemental metabolic support for senior pets experiencing age-, or sickness-related health issues.
Immune system support - Helps support the natural immune response during periods of stress, treatment recovery or a supplemental support for the management of chronic infections or diseases.
Palatable Compliance- Offers an exceptionally palatable, easily administered supplement for pet carers struggling with treatment fatigue in sick or recovering pets.
Dosing
Anecdotal evidence suggests that optimal dosing is one 10ml sachet of Iminohoney given every 3 days with more frequent dosing having not demonstrated and additional benefits. One 10 sachet pack of Iminohoney therefore lasts for one month of supplementation.
Iminohoney may crystalize on storage or shipment in cooler environments and can be gently warmed to reconstitute it in liquid honey form.
Iminohoney can be used in a number of different ways: added to food or given directly.
Some pets do not like honey and so may refuse it even when mixed with food.
Caution - Honey
As with any other honey or sugar-containing supplement, use Iminohoney with caution in pets with diabetes, sugar-related metabolic diseases or in any situation where, in a veterinarian's professional opinion, sugar-content might be considered an issue.
Safety and Purity
Iminohoney is a pure, raw, natural, food-grade African honey with nothing added or removed. Each batch of Iminohoney is selected by chemical analysis with batches approved or refused according to iminosugar content and in particular the presence of Casuarine in significant concentration. Strict Quality Control ensures the fingerprint and presence of desired iminosugars, while the honey is also tested for undesired impurities.
Comparison to Manuka Honey
Iminohoney has a very different profile to Manuka Honey. Manuka Honey is another natural honey where chemical content, activity and profile is measured and claimed with associated health benefits. While Manuka Honey relies on methylglyoxal (MGO) for topical antimicrobial pathways, as described above, Iminohoney functions via a completely different class of chemistry. Analysis of Manuka honey does not show the presence of Casuarine or other significant Iminosugar components.
It is understood that the honeys are vastly different and selected with different chemical content criteria and therefore should not be interchanged with the expectation of similar supplemental benefits.
