BIO ERYTHRITOL

Steviola® Bio Erythrit / BIO Erythritol, 500 g, is a natural sweetener from the German company El Compra. The product contains 100% organic erythritol, obtained by fermentation of organic corn. The natural sweetener is an alternative to classic powdered sugar and can be used both for sweetening baked goods and for decorating pastries.

Erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol, as is xylitol. Sugar alcohols are low in calories and provide numerous health benefits. In addition to providing a sweet taste, sugar alcohols in food add volume and texture, help retain moisture, and prevent browning.

Fruits like watermelon, pears, and grapes naturally contain small amounts of erythritol, as do mushrooms and some fermented foods like cheese, wine, and beer.

Erythritol was first discovered in 1848 by a Scottish chemist named John Stenhouse. Erythritol has been used in Japan since the early 1990s to make candies, jellies, jams, chocolate, drinks, and more. In recent years, this natural sugar substitute has also gained worldwide popularity.

How does it work?

Once erythritol enters the body, it is rapidly absorbed into the small intestine and bloodstream, with only about 10% of it reaching the large intestine. The remaining 90% is excreted in the urine. It essentially passes through the digestive system without raising blood sugar, does not disrupt carbohydrate metabolism, and generally does not participate in the body's metabolism.

Potential benefits:

What are the benefits of using erythritol? Here are some of the reasons why people choose to use it as a sugar substitute:

• Can withhelp regulate blood sugar and weight

This sweetener contains no calories, which can be beneficial when following a diet. Erythritol is suitable for diabetics and people following a keto diet and other low-carb diets.

• Can withhelp increase satiety and satisfaction from eating

Some research suggests that erythritol may affect the release of certain hormones in the gastrointestinal tract and even delay stomach emptying. It may also improve the taste of food and mask the unwanted aftertaste that other sweeteners often have.

• Better for teeth than other sweeteners

Erythritol may reduce plaque buildup or even help prevent cavities because sugar alcohols don't react with plaque bacteria in the mouth the way sugar does. According to some studies, erythritol inhibits the growth of a specific type of oral bacteria (Streptococcus mutans) that is known to be associated with the development of cavities.

• Likely has antioxidant effects

This sweetener may provide antioxidant properties. It has the ability to improve endothelial function in people with type 2 diabetes, while supporting cardiovascular health in other ways. Erythritol acts as an antioxidant and offers protection against hyperglycemia-induced vascular damage.
