Product Description

What is Erythritol  ?

Erythritol, a type of carbohydrate called sugar alcohol, is one of the most common artificial sweeteners available. It's popular in foods marketed for weight loss and diabetes. But research suggests that erythritol, and other artificial sweeteners, may have serious health risks-and may be worse for you than table sugar.

Erythritol is found naturally in some foods. It's also made when things like wine, beer, and cheese ferment. Besides its natural form, erythritol has also been a man-made sweetener since 1990.

Erythritol is a type of sugar alcohol commonly added to sugar-free products and used as a blood sugar-friendly alternative to table sugar in foods and drinks. 

Diets high in added sugar are linked to several health issues, including an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, which is why many people choose to use sugar alternatives, like erythritol.

Sugar alcohols, also known as polyols, are sugar derivatives that naturally occur in some foods and are also commercially produced for use in the food industry.

There are many types of sugar alcohols, but erythritol is one of the most commonly consumed in the United States. Erythritol provides 0.2 calories per gram-3.8 calories less than table sugar-and is about 70% as sweet as sugar.

Erythritol is naturally found in a number of foods, such as fruits and fermented foods, and is commercially produced by fermentation from a corn-derived sugar called dextrose.

Using erythritol as an alternative to table sugar and other sweeteners may have some health benefits, but it's more recently been linked with serious health concerns.

The benefits of our Erythritol
 

May Promote Healthy Blood Sugar Levels:Foods and drinks high in sweeteners like table sugar, agave, and corn syrup significantly impact blood sugar. It's recommended that everyone, including people with prediabetes and diabetes, limit their intake of added sugar in order to promote healthy blood sugar regulation.
Choosing erythritol-sweetened products over those containing table sugar and other sweeteners may help improve both short-term and long-term blood sugar control. Unlike other sweeteners, your body absorbs erythritol through the small intestine and then excretes most of it unchanged through your urine.
The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how quickly a food or drink raises blood sugar levels. Erythritol has a glycemic index of zero to one, meaning it has little to no impact on blood sugar. For reference, the GI of sucrose or table sugar is 65.
Though studies are limited, findings suggest replacing sugar with erythritol may help improve glycemic control in people with diabetes. It could also help reduce a person's overall consumption of sugar and its adverse effects on health.
Studies suggest erythritol slows gastric emptying and sugar absorption from the small intestine, which may help lower blood sugar levels over time. However, more human studies are needed to fully understand how erythritol impacts both short- and long-term blood sugar control.

May Help Reduce Calorie Intake: Erythritol contains only 5% of the calories found in sugar, so using erythritol in place of table sugar can help you cut back on your calorie intake.
In addition to being much lower in calories than table sugar and other sweeteners, erythritol may help reduce hunger levels after eating, helping you eat fewer calories.
A small study that included 20 healthy people found participants who received 50 grams (g) of erythritol 15 minutes before eating a meal consumed significantly fewer calories compared to participants who received table sugar, the artificial sweetener sucralose, or tap water before eating.
The erythritol treatment led to a significant increase in the secretion of the satiety hormone cholecystokinin (CCK), which helps promote feelings of fullness after eating. The erythritol treatment also had no effect on blood sugar.

The application of Erythritol

A high-sugar diet damages the teeth and gums. Cavity-promoting bacteria like Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) feed on sugar and produce acids that break down tooth enamel, which is why dietary added sugar intake is considered the most significant risk factor for cavities.

Replacing sugary foods and drinks with those sweetened with sugar alternatives like erythritol may help improve dental health and protect against cavities.

Studies lasting two months to three years show consuming products like gum and candy containing 5-7.5 g of erythritol per day inhibits the growth of dental plaque in both children and adults.

Although the sugar alcohol xylitol is most commonly used in sugar-free chewing gum, erythritol has been shown to have more powerful plaque-preventing powers than xylitol. Erythritol prevents plaque by passing through bacterial membranes and interfering with growth pathways, which prevents the growth and spread of plaque.

Sugar alcohols can cause digestive upset when consumed in larger doses. This is because most sugar alcohols are poorly absorbed, drawing water into the intestines. They are also fermented by bacteria in the large intestine, which causes symptoms like diarrhea, bloating, and gas.

Unlike other sugar alcohols, erythritol is absorbed through the small intestine before being excreted from the body through the urine.

Only a small amount of erythritol reaches the large intestine, which is why erythritol is better tolerated and associated with fewer digestive symptoms than sugar alcohols like sorbitol and xylitol.
