Description
Stevia glycosides are natural, non-caloric sweeteners derived from the leaves of the stevia plant, highly valued for their safety and versatility in pharmaceutical formulations. With an intense sweetness many times that of sucrose but zero glycemic impact, they are the perfect choice for developing medications suitable for diabetic patients and those seeking low-sugar alternatives. These glycosides maintain excellent stability across various pH levels and processing conditions, ensuring consistent performance in oral liquids, chewable tablets, and lozenges. Their natural origin and favorable taste profile enhance the palatability of pharmaceutical products, improving patient compliance, especially for pediatric and geriatric medications. Moreover, stevia glycosides possess mild antioxidant properties, which can contribute to the preservation of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Stringently tested to meet the highest pharmaceutical quality standards, our medical-grade stevia glycosides offer superior purity, reliable functionality, and seamless compatibility with other excipients and APIs, enabling the creation of high-quality, effective, and patient-friendly medications.
