Stevia Extract

1.What is Stevia Extract?

Stevia Extract is derived from the leaves of the Asteraceae plant Stevia rebaudiana. It appears as a colorless crystalline or white crystalline powder, with steviol glycosides as its primary active components.

As a natural sweetener, steviol glycosides offer the following benefits:

• Lowers blood sugar

• Reduces blood pressure

• Enhances metabolism

• Treats gastric hyperacidity

 

2.How it Works?

The primary active component of stevia extract is steviol glycosides, which function through the following mechanisms:

1. Stimulates Insulin Secretion
   Steviol glycosides activate pancreatic β-cells, increasing insulin release to lower blood glucose levels. This effect is similar to sulfonylureas but without the risk of hypoglycemia.

2. Inhibits Glucose Absorption
   By competitively inhibiting intestinal α-glucosidase activity, steviol glycosides delay carbohydrate breakdown and absorption, reducing postprandial blood sugar spikes.

3. Improves Insulin Resistance
   Steviol glycosides activate PPAR-γ receptors, enhancing insulin sensitivity in adipocytes and ameliorating insulin resistance.

4. Modulates Gut Microbiota
   Stevia extract promotes the proliferation of Bifidobacteria, corrects gut dysbiosis, and strengthens intestinal barrier function.

5. Antioxidant Protection
   Components such as chlorogenic acid and quercetin in stevia exhibit potent antioxidant activity, scavenging free radicals and mitigating oxidative stress damage induced by hyperglycemia.

 

3.Benefits and Use

1. Natural Sugar Substitute for Blood Sugar Control
Stevia extract contains steviol glycosides (e.g., rebaudioside A), which cannot be digested or absorbed by the human body, thus causing no blood sugar fluctuations. It is an ideal sweetener for diabetics or those on low-carb diets. Clinical studies show that replacing sucrose with stevia helps reduce postprandial blood sugar spikes in diabetic patients.

2. Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects
The polyphenols and flavonoids in stevia scavenge free radicals, reducing oxidative stress damage and potentially delaying cellular aging. Animal studies indicate stevia extract lowers inflammatory cytokine levels, though human trials require further validation.

3. Blood Pressure Regulation (Adjuvant)
Some research suggests steviol glycosides may aid in lowering blood pressure (approximately 5–8 mmHg systolic reduction) in mild hypertension by:

• Promoting vasodilation

• Inhibiting calcium ion channels
  Note: Effects vary individually, and it cannot replace medication.

4. Oral Health Protection
Stevia extract does not undergo bacterial fermentation in the mouth, preventing acid production that erodes tooth enamel. It is added to some toothpastes or mouthwashes to reduce caries risk.
