LifeMel Honey What Is It and Can It Support Health During Chemotherapy?
I need to share a little honey love—because this one is genuinely interesting.
You may have seen this product featured by Dr Chris Steele on This Morning, where it sparked discussion around its potential role in supporting patients undergoing chemotherapy.
But what actually is LifeMel Honey—and what does the evidence say?
What Is LifeMel Honey?
LifeMel Honey is a specialised honey developed over many years of research.
It is produced in Israel and comes from bees that are fed on nectar derived from a blend of herbs, including:
Siberian ginseng
Echinacea
Uncaria tomentosa
It also contains naturally occurring:
Vitamins
Minerals
Antioxidants
This combination is what has led to interest in its potential health-supporting properties.
Why Is It Being Talked About in Healthcare?
Some clinicians, including Dr Chris Steele, have discussed its use alongside patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy works by targeting rapidly dividing cells—but it can also affect:
White blood cells (immune system)
Red blood cells
Platelets
Because of this, treatment may sometimes need to be delayed or adjusted depending on how the body responds.
There has been early-stage research and observation suggesting that nutritional support—including products like this honey—may help support general wellbeing during treatment.
What Does the Research Say?
Some small-scale studies and clinical observations have suggested:
A reduced drop in certain blood markers in some patients
Improved feelings of wellbeing
However—and this is important:
👉 There are currently no large-scale clinical trials confirming its effectiveness in cancer care.
Important: What LifeMel Honey Does NOT Do
Let’s be absolutely clear:
❌ It does not treat cancer
❌ It does not replace chemotherapy or medical care
❌ It is not a cure
It may be considered as a supportive nutritional product only, and always under medical guidance.
Is It Safe to Use?
If you are undergoing chemotherapy or any medical treatment:
👉 Always speak to your consultant, GP, or healthcare team before introducing any supplement or product.
Even natural products can:
Interact with treatments
Affect absorption
Not be suitable for everyone
How Is It Typically Used?
The commonly suggested use is:
1 level teaspoon, twice daily
Held under the tongue before swallowing
But again—this should only be considered with professional medical advice.
Cost Consideration
LifeMel Honey is a premium product, typically costing around £40 for a small jar.
That makes it an investment—and not something everyone will choose to try.
