•

Are your stevia leaves harvested from proper variety? Since the advent of stevia farming in India there are numbers of so called small companies who are selling planting material of wild and low quality stevia plants. Since the wild stevia plants are easy to multiply and can be sold at reduced price, these wild varieties produce leaves that are inferior in sweet glycosides as well as in other important phyto chemicals that are responsible for medicinal properties of stevia.

•	Are your stevia leaves properly dried? Since it is found that mostly when the leaves are not properly dried then the active ingredient of stevia leaves that determine the effectiveness of stevia as a medicine are drastically reduced.
•	Are your stevia leaves hygienically grown? Since most of the times stevia leaves are grown using plenty of inorganic fertilizer these types of stevia leaves are generally inferior in active ingredients that determine the use fullness of stevia leaves in medicine.
•	Are you assured of continuous supply of standardized stevia leaves?

Liquid Extracts

Dark	–	A Concentrated syrup derived from the dried leaves. Usually in a water and alcohol base. Sweetness varies between manufacturers. This form will offer the greater amount of benefits from the Stevia plant.
Clear	–	A solution of powdered steviosides dissolved in water, alcohol or glycerin.

Powdered Extracts [STEVIOSIDES]

40-50% Sweet Glycosides – The processed form of the leaves to concentrate on the sweet glycosides by removing unwanted plant matter: An off white powder. Commonly referred to as “Stevioside”.
80-95%Sweet Glycosides – The processed form of the leaves to concentrate on the sweet glycosides by removing unwanted plant matter. An off white powder. This powder is 200-300 times sweeter than sugar. Quality of the powder depends on purity of the glycosides (i.e.90-95% pure) and the ratio of Rebaudioside A over Stevioside. The higher the ratio, the better the product. Commonly referred to as “Stevioside”.

Other Forms [STEVIA BLENDS]

Due to the great strength of the Powdered Extracts, it is common to add a filler to “tone” down the strength so that the Stevioside is easier to use and more palpatable. These fillers are usually some form of the non-sweet food additive that has little to no nutritive value such as lactose or maltodextrin.
