What is Hormony Drinks?

Hormony Drinks is 100% Palmyra nectar and is a naturally sweet sap extracted from the Borassus flabellifer palm, commonly known as the Palmyra palm or toddy palm. Used for centuries across India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Southeast Asia, Palmyra nectar is renowned for its deep cultural, culinary, and therapeutic value. It is the raw material for Palmyra sugar, jaggery, and fermented drinks like toddy.

At Hormony Drinks™, we exclusively use the purest Palmyra Blossom Nectar, scientifically extracted to preserve its bioactive compounds including naturally bioavailable Vitamin B12, steroidal saponins, and iminosugars.

Scientifically Proven Health Benefits

 

  1. Antidiabetic Activity

Studies show methanolic extracts of Palmyra male flowers reduce blood glucose levels and improve lipid profiles. Active compounds include steroidal saponins such as Dioscin and Borassosides A-F.

  1. Anti-inflammatory & Antiarthritic

Clinical models demonstrate significant reduction in pain, oedema, and inflammation with Palmyra extracts (References: Paschapur et al. 2009).

  1. Antioxidant Properties

Palmyra sugar syrup shows high antioxidant activity due to its phenolic content, iron, and copper (Ref: Nakon et al. 2011).

  1. Presence of Iminosugars

Iminosugars, containing an endocycling nitrogen atom that effectively mimics carbohydrates by facilitating the reversible and competitive inhibition of their processing enzymes, have generated much attention in recent years as targets in the treatment of a wide range of illnesses (e.g., diabetes, cancer, tuberculosis, and lysosomal storage disorders, etc.) and if you read our customer feedback with great care, you will realise how quickly the imminosugars found in Hormony Drinks help regular users to regain and maintain their body’s healthy function. (multivalent pyrrolidine iminosugars: synthesis and biological relevance)

Laboratory analysis confirms the presence of known and novel iminosugars, which modulate sugar metabolism and immune response, with promising applications in diabetes and metabolic syndromes (Ref: Nash RJ et al., 2011).

       5. Iminosugars, saponins and anti-viral activity

Laboratory tests demonstrated antiviral activity against dengue virus stereotype 2 and shown to be effective in reducing infectious virus production against all four DENV serotypes, including clinical isolates. (Ref: Viral infections and Outbreak Research Kelly F Garfield et al., 2016)
