The daily consumption of crystallized lemon may help maintain better gut health by providing beneficial bacteria with nutrients that can keep them thriving. Probiotic bacteria live mainly in our large intestines, where they help break down food particles for easier absorption by our bodies.
By supplying probiotic bacteria with antioxidants provided by crystallized lemons, we help support their activity in promoting good digestive health as well as overall well-being.
Stevia Leaf Extract
Stevia leaf extract is a natural sweetener derived from the Stevia plant, a shrub native to South America. It contains a compound called rebaudioside A (also known as Reb A), which makes stevia up to 300 times sweeter than sugar.
Unlike other natural or artificial sweeteners, stevia doesn’t cause an insulin spike or contribute calories to your diet. To process the stevia leaves into powdered or liquid extracts, the leaves are dried and placed in water before undergoing several filtration processes.
The main compound in stevia leaf extract – Reb A, has been linked to various health benefits due to its antioxidant properties.
For example, research suggests that anti-inflammatory compounds like Reb A may help protect the body from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. Plus because of its low glycemic index rating, consuming stevia will not cause a sharp rise in blood glucose levels as regular table sugar can.
