Monk Fruit Extract Powder - 25X Sweeter Than Sugar - 7% Mogroside V (3oz, 566 servings)

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. Isn’t that crazy?!

Yes. Every facility that touches the product is FDA and GMP certified, and we work with third-party labs to run tests at every major stage of the process. This assures that the product you receive from us is always held to the highest industry standards.

The product contains 7% Mogroside V, making it 25X sweeter than sugar.

Something you might want to know is that every monk fruit extract with a Mogroside V concentration of less than 20% requires the use of a carrier, usually maltodextrin, to transform the liquid monk fruit extract into powder.

We use 10% NON-GMO maltodextrin, which is the best way we have found to make this product.

Maltodextrin is highly glycemic, but because we only need to add so little monk fruit extract to add sweetness to our drinks and foods, it has virtually no impact on blood sugar levels, as we just saw in the test before. Think of it as eating a couple of tiny crystals of sugar with your coffee. It’s not going to do anything.

Having said that… Other brands use maltodextrin and don’t disclose it on their product labels. They either don’t know it’s there or they decide not to disclose it.

And we know they contain maltodextrin because (1) we have built relationships with all the major producers of this product, and (2) we have ordered and ran tests on all the competitors’ products. They all tested positive for the presence of starches, and Maltodextrin is the most common starch used as a carrier in these products.

This is a problem, because as a consumer, you are not able to know how much maltodextrin they are using and whether it’s NON-GMO or not.

No, we tested it! You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-xtR6xOk6E
