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.

• Excellent for baking, beverages, smoothies, and yoghurt.
