Organic Rebiana

Rebaudioside A, often called Reb-A, is a sweet compound found in the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, native to South America. It is extracted from the leaves and then purified to create a highly concentrated sweetener.

Manufacturers use Reb-A as a high-intensity, zero-calorie sweetener. It is added to a wide variety of foods and beverages, including yogurts, baked goods, and sweeteners marketed as natural or organic, to reduce sugar and calorie content.

Rebaudioside A is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated steviol glycosides, including Reb-A, and established acceptable daily intakes. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience mild digestive upset at very high intakes.
