Stevioside is extracted by soaking dried stevia leaves in water, filtering to separate the liquid from the leaves and stems, and further purifying it with water or food-grade alcohol-a completely traditional plant extraction method. A natural and extremely sweet glucoside that does not affect blood sugar levels is obtained.

Stevia extract is zero calories and all natural and safe, and its safety has been comprehensively reviewed and scientifically proven by many international organizations, including FAO/WHO Joint Expert Committee (JECFA) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). No side effects or allergies have been reported when stevia extract is added to foods and beverages.
