Truvia natural sweetener is the first great-tasting, zero-calorie natural sweetener that's a miracle of nature, not chemistry. Unlike most stevia-based sweeteners, which are typically a mixture of many components from the stevia leaf, Truvia natural sweetener is made with rebiana, the best tasting part of the stevia leaf.

Sprinkle it on your grapefruit. Spoon it in your coffee. One packet of Truvia natural sweetener provides the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar. Truvia natural sweetener is a great alternative for people with diabetes. It is also kosher certified. Truvia natural sweetener can be used in cooking and baking.

Erythritol has a very low caloric content; its value is 0.2 calories per gram for food labeling purposes in the United States and 0 (zero) calories per gram for food labeling purposes in Japan. This very low calorie value is due to erythritol’s unique absorption and elimination process which does not require the metabolism of erythritol.

Erythritol is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine due to its small molecular size and structure. Several clinical studies conducted in Europe and Japan have shown that more than 90% of ingested erythritol is absorbed and excreted unchanged in urine within a 24-hour period. This digestive pathway allows less than 5% of ingested erythritol to reach the large intestine and be fermented into volatile fatty acids or metabolized into carbon dioxide. As a result, foods containing substantial amounts of erythritol are very unlikely to cause gaseous and laxation side effects.

February 24, 2009 Reviewer: Tarolyn in Washington I taste a bitter aftertaste on sweeteners that others swear there is no aftertaste, so I'm very picky. I tried Truvia this week on my low carb hot cereal. The truvia sprinkled on top even formed a slight crust like sugar. I've been using Splenda and find it looses flavor in baked goods. It also has 24g carbs in 1 cup! It's good to know there's an alternative that tastes great! Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. March 28, 2009 Reviewer: Audrey in Florida I am halfway through my box of 80 Truvia packets and am delighted with it. It have used Erythritol and also Stevia by themselves, but this combination is exactly right. It tastes just like sugar to me, some AS are just too sweet - this is perfect. It has absolutely no affect on my blood sugar, no laxative problems and does not stall my weight loss. I am ordering more today! This review is specific to Truvia Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No September 04, 2011 Reviewer: A customer in New York This is the best-tasting alternative sweetener I have tasted. You can literally dip strawberries in it as advertised. It is far superior to stevia and leaves no aftertaste like all of the artificial sweeteners. The only problem is that if you use too much of it, it can cause abdominal bloating and diarrhea from the non-absorbable sugar alcohol.

Way more like sugar. I buy the big box and the price here is much better than the store. This review is specific to Truvia Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No March 07, 2009 Reviewer: Jennifer in Michigan This product has the consistency of sugar and tastes as pleasant without any bitterness or aftertaste. It is not as sweet as other artificial sweeteners, which means that although it states that one packet has the sweetness of two teaspoons of sugar, I found that it is more or less equal to one teaspoon of sugar. Other than that, this product is wonderful! Zero carbs and zero calories! The erythritol produces a slight "cooling" effect that is well-balanced by the stevia. This is a great sugar substitute that I feel will quickly replace Splenda in many non-caloric foods. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No See more reviews
