Stevia Leaf Dealers in Tiruvannamalai

Stevia is a green, leafy plant that is native to South America. It has been used for medicinal purposes for many centuries. The plant has also been bred for its strong, sweet flavor and used as a sweetener. However, the refined stevia sweeteners used today often don’t resemble the whole stevia plant at all. Here is an important pointâ€Â¦ most of the studies use stevioside, the isolated sweet compound. It would be hard to reach pharmacologically active doses of stevioside just by using stevia as a sweetener. It is only about 10% stevioside, by weight. People often confuse stevia with another sweetener called Truvia, but they are not the same. Truvia is a blend of compounds, one of which is extracted from stevia leaves. OTHER BENEFITS: Stevia has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, diuretic and immunomodulatory effects (11). But definitely take all of this with a grain of salt. What works in rats doesn’t always work in humans.
