Steviol glycosides, especially
Reb M, are at the heart of INGIA's
sugar-reduction solutions. Recent research shows they not only deliver clean sweetness but also support healthier lifestyles by reducing risks linked to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
What Are Steviol Glycosides?
Steviol glycosides are natural sweet compounds extracted from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. Among them, Reb M stands out for its sugar-like taste and minimal bitterness, making it ideal for beverages, dairy, and functional foods.
As a leading natural sweetener manufacturer, INGIA produces high-purity steviol glycosides through advanced biotechnology processes, ensuring consistent quality and taste profiles for food and beverage applications.
Latest Research Insights on Steviol Glycosides
- Production & Innovation: Advances in enzymatic bioconversion and fermentation allow sustainable, high-purity Reb M production without the bitter aftertaste common in earlier stevia extracts.
- Safety Certification: Reb M has received GRAS approval from the FDA and positive evaluations from EFSA, confirming its safety at recommended levels for all age groups.
- Metabolic Effects: Studies suggest steviol glycosides have neutral or beneficial impacts on blood glucose, with emerging evidence of anti-inflammatory properties.
- Cardiovascular Health: Meta-analyses indicate stevioside may modestly reduce blood pressure and fasting glucose levels in hypertensive individuals.
- Weight Management: Replacing sugar with stevia-based sweeteners has been shown to improve cardiometabolic markers and support weight control efforts.
How Steviol Glycosides Help Us Stay Healthy
Sugar Reduction
Reb M enables delicious sugar-free formulations, lowering calorie intake by up to 95% compared to traditional sugar while maintaining taste satisfaction.
Glycemic Control
Safe for people with diabetes, as steviol glycosides do not raise blood glucose or insulin levels, making them ideal for diabetic-friendly products.
Weight Management
Supports reduced energy intake, helping prevent obesity. Clinical studies show stevia users consume fewer total daily calories.
Cardiovascular Benefits
May contribute to lower blood pressure and reduced risk of heart disease through multiple metabolic pathways.
Gut Health
Neutral impact on gut microbiota, with potential prebiotic effects currently under scientific investigation.
