What are the Military Honey ingredients?

The Military Honey ingredients come straight from the Supplement Facts panel on the back of the bottle. There are six active ingredients: one vitamin, one trace mineral and four herb extracts. Each has its own printed amount, so nothing hides inside a blend.

The full label is pictured on the supplement facts page, and the ingredients page has a short note on each one.

Vitamin D3: the main Military Honey ingredient

Vitamin D3, as cholecalciferol, is the headline ingredient. One gummy gives 84 mcg, which is 3,360 IU and 420% of the Daily Value. The adult RDA is 15 to 20 mcg, and the adult upper limit is 100 mcg a day from all sources combined.

Your body needs vitamin D for bones, muscles and the immune system, and many adults get too little from food. This is the ingredient most likely to make a difference, mainly if your level runs low. It is also the reason the dose is one gummy a day. Two gummies would give 168 mcg, past the upper limit. If you take a multivitamin or other vitamin D, ask your doctor first. See vitamin D 84 mcg explained.

Boron: the mineral in the mix

Boron is 7 mg per gummy, as boron glycinate. No Daily Value is set for it. Food alone usually supplies about 1 to 1.5 mg a day, and the adult upper limit is 20 mg, so 7 mg uses 35% of that limit.

Boron is a trace mineral that may play a part in how the body handles steroid hormones, vitamin D among them. The NIH fact sheet reports no human data on testosterone and calls the research limited. Read more in our boron post.

The four herb extracts

The four herbs are classic men's ingredients. Each is a 10:1 extract at 100 mcg. Ten parts of raw herb are concentrated into one part of extract, so 100 mcg stands for roughly 1 mg of raw herb.

  • Fenugreek seed extract (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.). Studied mainly for blood sugar. It may lower blood sugar at large doses, so men on diabetes medicine should ask a doctor. See fenugreek.
  • Maca root extract (Lepidium meyenii Walp.). A root long used for vitality. It is usually well tolerated as a food.
  • Tribulus terrestris extract. A traditional men's herb. On the panel, this line shows fenugreek's Latin name by mistake. See tribulus.
  • Horny goat weed extract (Epimedium brevicornum Maxim., leaf). A classic vitality herb. Memorial Sloan Kettering advises people with heart disease to avoid it.

At 0.1 mg each, the herbs play a light supporting role next to vitamin D3 and boron.

What else the label lists, and what it leaves out

The rest of the panel describes the gummy itself. Each one has 20 calories, 4 g of carbohydrate and 3 g of total sugars, with 0 g of added sugars. Sodium is 10 mg, from sodium citrate. The sodium line reads “<7%” DV, although 10 mg is well under 1%. That is the second printing slip on the label.

Honey, caffeine and zinc appear nowhere in the label photos, and there is no “other ingredients” line either. Honey is part of the brand name only. The drip shown in some listing images is just decoration. Our post on honey in Military Honey explains the name, and Military Honey sugar covers the 3 g.

Who should check the ingredients with a doctor first

The ingredients suit most healthy men 18 and over at one gummy a day. Talk to your doctor first if you:

  • already take vitamin D or a multivitamin, or have kidney stones or high blood calcium;
  • have a heart condition, because of the horny goat weed;
  • take diabetes medicine, because of the fenugreek;
  • take a nitrate for chest pain, an erection medicine or any blood-pressure medicine;
  • live with any known medical condition, as the label itself advises.

The side effects page lists each caution with its source.
