Reb M

Reb M is a high-intensity sweetener found naturally in the stevia plant. It is produced commercially through fermentation or enzymatic processes using stevia leaf components, making it a more cost-effective and consistent source than extraction from the plant itself.

Reb M is used to provide sweetness in a variety of food and beverage products with fewer calories than sugar. It is often found in items like ice cream, frozen yogurt, baked goods, and other desserts where a sweet taste is desired.

Reb M is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. It has been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA, which has established an acceptable daily intake. Studies suggest that high-intensity sweeteners like Reb M do not significantly impact blood sugar levels in typical consumption amounts.
