What is Chicory Root Extract ?Extracted through a natural hot water process, this product is 100% vegetable. Our chickory root extract (inulin) is highly soluble and of premium quality, a natural food ingredient that is high in fibre and diabetic safe.Chicory contains two ingredients that can contribute to a weight loss program. A report in the July 1999 Journal of Nutrition* (supplement) reveals that these ingredients, inulin and oligofructose, are not digestible by our bodies, and thus have no calories. However, the inulin and oligofructose in chicory are digested by beneficial microscopic plants in the colon and aid "in the treatment of, prevention or alleviation of symptoms of intestinal diseases." These ingredients also participate in the feeding of beneficial bacterial (similar to yogurt) and allow them to compete with and defeat harmful bacteria, stimulate our immune system, and indirectly help promote our own production of B vitamins.Chickory Root Extract is a prebiotic ....Healthy bacteria in the form of intestinal flora flourish naturally in the gastrointestinal system, where they limit the ability of harmful bacteria to multiply and thrive. But as we age, when we encounter stress or when we ingest antibiotics, the populations of these good bacteria tend to diminish inside the body, leaving humans more vulnerable to gastrointestinal disorders and disease. By consuming prebiotic bacterial-growth enhancers, one replenishes the needed supplies of the “good guys.”In addition to maintaining a healthy digestive system, researchers are investigating prebiotics’ role in a host of health benefits: preventing diarrhea, controlling ulcers, reducing cholesterol, supporting immune function, reducing urogenital infections and preventing colon cancer. Grown along the Nile River for thousands of years and extensively throughout Europe, Chicory is a perennial, Old World herb having rayed flower heads with blue florets. Chicory is cultivated not only for its root but also for its heads of crisp, edible leaves used in salads.
What is stevia?
Stevia is a genus of about 150 species of herbs and shrubs in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), native to subtropical and tropical South America and Central America. Used for over 1500 years by the native Indians. With its extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives. Stevia also has shown promise in medical research for treating such conditions as obesity and high blood pressure. Stevia has negligible effect on blood glucose; therefore it is attractive as a natural sweetener to diabetics and others on carbohydrate-controlled diets.In the early 1970s, Japan began cultivating stevia as an alternative toartificial sweeteners such as cyclamate, saccharinand aspartame which are suspected carcinogens. The plant's leaves, the aqueous extract of the leaves, and purified steviosides are used as sweeteners. In health conscious Japan they are widely used in food products, soft drinks (including Coca Cola), and for table use. Japan currently consumes more stevia than any other country; there, stevia accounts for 40% of the sweetener market, other countries around the world have also been using stevia as a sugar substitute, stevia may be used in cooking and baking as a natural sweetener (there are several good stevia recipe books available from quality book stores), adults and children alike may enjoy dessert recipes without risk of weight gain, tooth decay or hyperactivity, it also does not contain the negative side effects reported with the use of artificial sweeteners....It can also be blended into natural toothpowder or mouthwash recipes further aiding in the prevention of cavities, gum disease and other minor mouth ailments.
How can I Purchase stevia with no aftertaste?
Many stevia consumers complain about an aftertaste caused by their stevia concentrate products. This unfortunate experience can be eliminated with a little knowledge learned regarding stevia There are large differences between stevia products. First in the variety of product, Stevia spoonable ( white in color)...a blend of stevia concentrate and a bulking agent...quality depends on the ingredients used by the manufacturer...try to avoid those with more than two or three ingredients....HerbCare Supreme Spoonable has only two...high quality stevia concentrate and inulin derived from chicory.There is also natural stevia powder ( green ) This is the whole stevia leaf ground up and has a strong aftertaste which cannot be removed...it is the most natural form of stevia with the most nutrient value however most people do not like the strong taste...it can also be acquired un-ground in a "tea" cut which is good for adding to herbal tea mixtures...There is liquid stevia, a blend of stevia concentrate and water ...some manufacturers will add other ingredients be sure to check labels...you can make your own liquid at a fraction the cost of the pre-made by simply blending concentrate with warm purified water and adding to a dropper bottle...and then there is the stevia concentrate itself ( white ) ...the quality can vary hugely and this is where it becomes a little tricky...Without getting to technical the basic reason is that within a stevia leaf there are four major sweetening components...one which is well known is stevioside...you will see some people boasting 80% stevioside in their product and may think this is a high quality powder but that is misleading...what you want to look for is a high content of Rebaudioside A...preferably 80% minimum...Of the four sweet components within the stevia leaf studies have proved Rebaudioside A has the sweetest , purest taste. It only makes up about 3-4% of the leaf...stevioside is approx 17% ...Unfortunately stevioside is the most widely used in N. America because it is less expensive and more readily available. In Japan where stevia is consumed widely they use almost exclusively the Rebaudioside A leaving the more bitter stevioside to be used in pet food were the consumer (Fluffy, Fido, Spot etc) is not as concerned with aftertaste. HerbCare Stevia Supreme Concentrate has a minimum Rebaudioside A content of 80%...making it a clean, pure and incredibly sweet taste, (approx 300x the sweetness of sugar) .When purchasing a stevia concentrate do not be fooled by claims of 80% or 90 % stevioside...to avoid disappointment in this wonderful, healthy and natural herb ask what the Rebaudioside A content is!
