VitaSanum® - Stevia extract (Stevia rebaudiana) 50 g VitaSanum® Stevia is a sweetener obtained from the leaves of the plant Stevia rebaudiana, which is native to South America. Unlike conventional sugar or artificial sweeteners, stevia offers a calorie-free alternative that may provide various health benefits, especially for people who want or need to reduce their sugar intake. Here are some of the main benefits of stevia as a dietary supplement: Calorie-free: Stevia contains no calories, making it an excellent choice for weight management programs. It can help reduce overall calorie intake without giving up the enjoyment of sweet foods and drinks. Blood sugar regulation: Stevia may have less impact on blood sugar levels than conventional sugar. This makes it a good alternative for people with diabetes or those who need to monitor their blood sugar levels. It stimulates insulin production by acting directly on pancreatic cells, which may help improve glucose tolerance. Blood pressure lowering effect: Some studies have shown that stevia may help lower blood pressure, especially in people with hypertension. This is mainly attributed to steviosides, one of the main compounds in stevia. Tooth-friendly: Unlike sugar, stevia does not promote the formation of cavities because it is not converted by the bacteria in the mouth into acids that attack tooth enamel. It can actually help reduce the buildup of bacteria in the mouth and thus promote oral health. Antioxidant properties: Stevia contains certain compounds with antioxidant properties, such as flavonoids, sterols, and terpenes. These can help reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals and thus contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases. Anti-inflammatory: Some research suggests that stevia may have anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for people with inflammatory diseases.&Contraindication: It is important to note that although stevia is generally considered safe for human consumption, the quality and purity of stevia products can vary. Therefore, you should choose high-quality products from trusted sources. Additionally, anyone with concerns about using stevia, especially pregnant women, breastfeeding women, or those taking medication, should speak to a healthcare provider before use. INGREDIENTS: Stevia extract (90%), bound water Storage: Store at room temperature and out of reach of small children. The product is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
