Monk fruit (also known as Luohan Guo) is a small sub-tropical melon that has been cultivated in the remote mountains of Southern China for centuries. According to legend, monk fruit is named after the Buddhist monks who first cultivated the fruit nearly 800 years ago.

Monk Fruit is sweet like any other fruit, but what makes monk fruit special is that its sweetness doesn’t come from sugar but from natural antioxidants called Mogrosides. There’s different types of mogrosides but one in particular called Mogroside V is up to 250x sweeter than sugar with none of the calories.

Monk Fruit Drops is made with pure, liquid monk fruit extract. We use no fillers, ever.

We quite literally harvest the fruit, wash it, extract its juice, and then pack it. We also add natural compounds from flaxseed, oregano, and fruit to help preserve the product and allow you to safely carry it wherever you go.

The Monk Fruit sweeteners you find in bags at the grocery store are 99% fillers (erythritol, allulose, dextrose, and/or maltodextrin) and only 1% monk fruit.

There's other liquid monk fruit extracts in the market, but they re made by diluting powdered monk fruit extracts in water and then adding a variety of different preservatives and other compounds. It tastes artificial, and we don’t like that.

Monk fruit is a small sub-tropical melon that has been cultivated in the remote mountains of Southern China for centuries. We work with our partners in Guilin, China, to harvest the monk fruit and process it to extract its juice concentrate. We then bring it to the US and bottle it into our convenient bottles. Every facility that touches the product is FDA and GMP certified.

Yes. Monk Fruit Drops contains natural sugars from the fruit, but because it is so sweet (15X sweeter than sugar), you only need very little, resulting in no impact to your blood sugar levels. We wrote about this here.

Naturally delicious. You can think of it as honey, just 15x sweeter. Having said that, it's very hard to taste anything other than sweetness when using it, so you don't have to worry about it changing the taste of your foods and drinks.

In the short term, consuming too much sugar can cause rapid spikes and crashes in blood sugar (and dopamine) levels, leading to fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and strong cravings.

When blood sugar rises sharply, the body releases insulin to bring it back down, but it often overcompensates—causing a sudden drop that leaves you tired, unfocused, and hungry again. This “spike-crash” cycle makes it harder to concentrate, regulate mood, and control appetite, creating a loop of low energy and constant snacking. This often also leads to weight gain.

In the long term, high sugar intake leads to chronic damage throughout the body. Constant blood sugar spikes cause oxidative stress, inflammation, and glycation—processes that damage blood vessels, cells, and organs over time.

This increases the risk of serious conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, and Alzheimer’s, while also accelerating aging through wrinkles, joint stiffness, and vision problems. In short, chronically high blood sugar slowly wears down your body from the inside out, making you age faster and increasing your risk of disease

Monk Fruit Drops helps you dramatically reduce your sugar consumption, which will reduce (1) the short-term consequences of too much sugar, including fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and constant hunger, as well as (2) the long-term consequences of too much sugar, which includes higher risks of serious conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, and Alzheimer’s.

We've also noticed that when our customers commit to using Monk Fruit Drops daily, they find it easier to be healthier in other aspects of their lives, including exercise and overall nutrition.
