Stevia Extract (stevioside) is an extract of Stevia rebaudiana, a small plant native to Paraguay and Brazil, which was first identified in 1887. Stevioside is 250 times sweeter than table sugar and results of short and long-term studies have shown it to be a safe supplement for the human diet.

Stevia Extract has been shown to promote healthy blood sugar levels in those already within normal levels and may be useful as a potential source of natural antioxidants. *
