I often eat cereal with a bit of honey on it right around the time I take my Healthy Trinity.
I was just thinking today that honey has anti-bacterial properties and wondering if it could affect the Healthy Trinity?
I know garlic is supposed to be kept separate from probiotics, but I have never heard anything about honey.
Thanks,
Lindy

Hi, Lindy.
You know what, that's a really great question. You're right, several properties of honey make it antibacterial. Wikipedia has a neat article on it, for anyone who's interested.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey
(Scroll down to "Modern Use of Honey")
So intuitively, yes, it seems to me that it would indeed be best to take your probiotics away from the honey. I don't have a hard and fast answer for it, but I'll ask Jini if she does.
Stay posted.
Take care,
Nicole

Yes, raw honey has strong antibacterial properties (among others) so I would not take together with probiotics. Especially if its Manuka honey!
