WHAT IS STEVIA?
Stevia is a natural extract from the leaves of Stevia Rebaudiana, a herb which is native to South America. Stevia leaves contain special compounds called steviol glycosides, also called stevia leaf extracts. These extracts are naturally sweet, but contain very few calories, no sugar and do not have an impact on blood sugar levels.
DOES STEVIA HAVE AN AFTER TASTE?
Modern Nature has developed a unique recipe that uses the sweetest parts of the stevia plant. This means we can leave out most of the compounds that give other stevia-based sweeteners a licorice-like aftertaste. We also balance the flavours of natural stevia with a few natural ingredients, giving our stevia products an authentically sweet and pure taste.
IS STEVIA SAFE FOR ME TO USE?
Stevia is approved as safe by the European Food Safety Authority and permitted for use as a sweetener in the UK by the Food Standards Agency. Stevia is a natural extract from the leaves of the stevia plant, which has been by the indigenous people of Paraguay for over 1500 years.
WHERE DOES STEVIA COME FROM?
Stevia's origins began in Paraguay, where it has been used by the indigenous people for over 1500 years. Modern Nature's stevia is responsibly sourced. We guarantee quality, purity and safety of every batch.

WHY IS STEVIA BETTER THAN SUGAR?
The health problems caused by the excessive consumption of sugar are well known: obesity, diabetes and tooth decay are just a few of the effects that sugar has on our bodies. Natural stevia, on the other hand, contains zero calories and sugar per serving. Stevia has no effect on blood sugar levels and does not affect dental health. It has been consumed by the indigenous people of Paraguay for over 1500 years. Stevia is a great tool to help you stay on track with your lifestyle, and allowing you to get creative in the kitchen and on the go!
