PURE&GOOD Candies with Stevia

Product overview

PURE&GOOD Candies with Stevia are sweets sweetened with steviol glycosides from stevia and isomalt instead of regular sugar. They are suitable for anyone who wants something sweet in everyday life but prefers sweets with zero grams of sugar per 100 grams. The flavour is complemented by natural rose flavouring and other natural flavourings, along with notes of ginger and rosehip. The product also contains propolis extract and vitamin C.

PURE & good is behind the product. The available information describes the sweets and their contents, but does not provide details about the brand’s history, place of manufacture or specific manufacturing philosophy. It is therefore best to stick to what is actually stated: sweets whose sweeteners and flavourings differ from those in traditionally sugar-sweetened sweets. They are an option for anyone who wants to choose a sweet flavour without the product containing sugar, while remembering that they are still sweets, not a supplement or meal replacement.

One thing to be aware of is that sugar-free does not mean carbohydrate-free. The nutritional information lists 95 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams, of which 95 grams are polyols. The sweets also contain vitamin C as sodium ascorbate. Details about serving size and packaging are not provided in the product information.

Active ingredients & science

The main sweeteners are isomalt and steviol glycosides from stevia. The steviol glycosides make up 0.05 per cent of the product and provide sweetness. Isomalt is a polyol, which also explains why polyols are listed as the main carbohydrate group in the nutritional information.

The flavour profile is complemented by ginger root extract, rosehip extract and propolis extract, as well as natural rose flavouring and other natural flavourings. The vitamin C is present as sodium ascorbate, a form of ascorbic acid that contains sodium. The amount is listed as 80 mg per 100 grams, equivalent to 100 per cent of the reference intake according to the product information. This is the amount in 100 grams; no recommended serving size is specified. The presence of these ingredients should not be interpreted as meaning that the sweets have a medicinal effect.

Benefits & uses

• For anyone who wants to avoid sugar: The sweets are stated to contain 0 grams of sugar per 100 grams and are sweetened with steviol glycosides and isomalt. Still, read the full nutritional information, as polyols account for the carbohydrate content.
• As a small everyday treat: They may be suitable when you want something sweet after lunch, during a coffee break or at home in the evening, without choosing traditionally sugar-sweetened sweets.
• When you want to try a different flavour profile: Rose flavouring and other natural flavourings combine with notes of ginger and rosehip. This gives them a different character from sweets based solely on fruit or mint flavours.
• For anyone who reads ingredient lists: The product information lists the sweeteners, extracts and nutritional values. This makes it possible to assess whether the contents suit your own preferences.
• As an option to keep on hand: The sweets may be a convenient choice when a craving for something sweet strikes during the working day or while travelling. Check the packaging instructions and allergen information before use.
• For anyone who wants to know the vitamin content: Vitamin C is present as sodium ascorbate and is listed at 80 mg per 100 grams. The amount you consume depends on how many sweets you eat.

The product is not described as a food supplement and should not be used instead of a varied diet. It is best suited as a sweet treat for anyone who enjoys the flavour and wants to make an informed choice based on the sweeteners, polyols and other ingredients.

Use & dosage

The product information does not specify an exact dosage or recommended amount. Therefore, follow the instructions on the packaging and choose an amount based on your own needs and preferences. No information is provided about a particular time of day or whether the sweets should be taken with or without food. This is a confectionery product, so no specific intake routine is stated.

If you regularly eat products containing polyols, note that the product information warns that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect. If you are unsure how you react to polyols, you may wish to start with a small amount. No instructions are given for combining the sweets with other food supplements, and no such combination is necessary based on the available information. Store and use the product according to the packaging instructions.

Quality & manufacturing

The available product information lists ingredients and nutritional values, including the amounts of steviol glycosides and vitamin C, as well as energy, fat, carbohydrates, polyols and salt per 100 grams. However, it does not provide information about manufacturing standards, country of origin, certifications, laboratory testing, purity testing, packaging materials or sustainability practices. These characteristics therefore cannot be confirmed based on the information provided.

PURE & good markets these sweets with stevia as a sweetener, and the ingredient declaration also lists isomalt, flavouring ingredients and extracts. If you are comparing products, it is sensible to refer to the full labelling on the packaging, particularly if you want to know more about manufacturing, storage or specific quality controls. The product information states that the sweets may contain milk, eggs and soya. Always check the current packaging if you have allergies or need to avoid certain ingredients.

Who is this product suitable for?

They may also appeal to anyone who wants to try a combination of stevia, isomalt and flavourings with notes of rose, ginger and rosehip. As this is a confectionery product and no specific age group is stated, parents should read the labelling and decide for themselves whether it is suitable for children.

Be aware that the product contains polyols and that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect. It may contain milk, eggs and soya, which is important for people with allergies or sensitivities. The product information contains no specific advice for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding and unsure about an ingredient can consult a midwife or healthcare professional and read the full labelling on the packaging. The product should not be considered a treatment or a replacement for food or food supplements.

Summary

PURE&GOOD Candies with Stevia are sweets made with steviol glycosides and isomalt instead of regular sugar.
