At GUANGXI MIBOSHI HONEY CO., LTD, we offer premium pharmaceutical-grade honey, carefully crafted to meet the specific needs of the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.

Why Honey is an Ideal Pharmaceutical Excipient

  1. Natural Sweetening Agent: Honey serves as a natural alternative to synthetic sweeteners, enhancing the palatability of oral medications such as syrups and lozenges.
  2. Soothing Properties: Its demulcent effect makes honey an excellent ingredient in cough syrups, helping to soothe irritated throats and reduce coughing.
  3. Antimicrobial Activity: Honey contains hydrogen peroxide and other components that inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms, aiding in wound care products and topical applications.
  4. Bioavailability Enhancer: Studies suggest that honey can improve the absorption and efficacy of certain drugs, making it a functional excipient in drug formulations.
  5. Stability and Preservation: The natural viscosity and antioxidant properties of honey contribute to extending the shelf life of pharmaceutical products.
