★★★★★— ShamsGood product for a healthier lifestyle. A bit difficult to know how much to use.
Read all 8 reviews →★★★★★— Sofie E.This is the best sugar substitute I have tried. The container may look small, but it lasts much longer than expected. I love that it contains only one ingredient – it feels clean and reliable. There is absolutely no aftertaste, and the quality seems excellent. Each serving is small (about half the size of my fingernail), so a little goes a long way. Highly recommended!

Product Overview
NOW Foods Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder is an organically certified powder derived from monk fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo. The product comes in a convenient 19.85 gram jar and is a natural sweetener with high sweetness, perfect for those looking to reduce their intake of sugar and artificial sweeteners.

Their philosophy is based on offering carefully selected, high-quality products with respect for both the environment and the consumer.
This powdered extract is free from fillers and additives, making it a pure and effective option for those who want to add sweetness without calories or impact on blood sugar. Monk fruit has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, and NOW Foods has chosen to offer this ingredient in its purest form, organically certified and non-GMO.
Active Ingredients & Science
The main active ingredient in this product is extract from monk fruit (Luo Han Guo), which contains natural compounds called mogrosides. Mogrosides are responsible for the fruit’s intense sweetness and are up to 200 times sweeter than regular sugar. Unlike sugar and some artificial sweeteners, mogrosides are not metabolised in the small intestine but pass on to the large intestine where they can be fermented by gut flora. This means the product contributes zero calories and does not affect carbohydrate intake. NOW Foods uses a gentle extraction method that preserves the natural structure and sweetness of the mogrosides, making the powder easy to dose and use.
Benefits & Uses
- Natural and organic sweetener without additives.
- Excellent for baking, beverages, smoothies, and yoghurt.
- A calorie-free alternative for those wanting to reduce sugar intake.
- Suitable for keto and low-carbohydrate diets.
- Convenient powder form that is easy to dose and mix.
This product is especially useful for those who want to avoid added sugar but still enjoy a sweet taste. Perfect for everyday use when sweetening tea, coffee, or cold drinks without using sugar or artificial sweeteners. Also a good solution for baking and cooking where you want natural sweetness without calories. Because the extract is highly concentrated, only small amounts are needed to achieve the desired sweetness.
Usage & Dosage
A recommended dose is 48 mg of extract per serving, which corresponds to about one scoop from the jar. The powder can be used in both cold and hot drinks as well as in cooking and baking. Dosage can be adjusted according to personal taste and needs. Since the product is concentrated, we recommend starting with small amounts to find the right sweetness. The powder form makes it easy to mix into everything from smoothies to yoghurt. Feel free to combine with other natural ingredients for the best flavour experience.
