Monk fruit is native to the mountains of southern China and is widely used in traditional medicine. The highlight of monk fruit is a natural sweetener called mogrosides, which is 150-300 times sweeter than cane sugar.

What's special is that mogrosides are calorie-free and don't raise blood sugar, making monk fruit an ideal choice for people with diabetes or trying to control their blood sugar levels.

The mechanism of monk fruit's ability to lower blood sugar comes from the powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of mogrosides - which help protect the beta cells of the pancreas, which produce insulin - an important hormone in regulating blood sugar levels.

Monk fruit also helps improve insulin resistance, thereby supporting effective blood sugar management. Thanks to that, users can reduce the risk of diabetes complications while still enjoying the natural sweetness.

In addition to its ability to lower blood sugar, monk fruit also has many other health benefits, such as supporting the digestive system, helping to reduce inflammation, preventing diseases related to digestion...

With these benefits, monk fruit has become an alternative sweetener in sugar-free products, suitable for dieters and diabetics.
