Functions and Benefits of Stevia Leaves

1. Medicinal Value

Stevia is a well-known natural sweetener and a perennial herb commonly found in the border regions of Paraguay and Brazil in South America. The leaves of stevia contain a sweet compound called "stevioside." Refined stevioside is a colorless, odorless crystalline substance that is about 200 times sweeter than sugar.

Due to its low-calorie content, water and alcohol solubility, and heat resistance, stevia is widely used as a zero-calorie sugar substitute, making it an ideal sweetener for diabetics and those looking to manage their weight.

• Taste and Properties: Sweet, cool
• Main Active Components: Stevioside and Stevia A3 Glycoside
• Sweetness Level Compared to Sugar:
  • Stevioside: 300 times sweeter than sugar
  • Stevia A3 Glycoside: 450 times sweeter than sugar
• Safety: Non-toxic, no adverse effects

2. Relieves Fatigue

Regular consumption of stevia tea can help eliminate fatigue and lower blood sugar levels. On its own, stevia tea has a naturally sweet taste. It can also be combined with other herbal teas to enhance flavor and provide additional health benefits.

In traditional medicine, stevia is used for nourishing Yin and generating fluids, making it beneficial for those with dry mouth, dehydration, primary hypertension, diabetes, and obesity—especially for individuals who need to limit sugar intake.

3. Lowers Blood Sugar

Clinical studies suggest that stevia has a certain effect in lowering blood sugar levels. It supports digestion, promotes pancreatic and spleen-stomach function, and nourishes the liver while boosting energy and mental clarity.

As a natural sugar alternative, stevia aligns with modern health trends of low-calorie, sugar-free, carb-free, and fat-free diets. It is particularly beneficial for overweight individuals and diabetics.

Stevioside has been officially recognized as a safe sugar substitute in over 20 countries worldwide. In China, it has been approved as a "food additive" for use in various food and beverage products.
