Frequently Asked Questions

How is BetterStevia® produced? 

NOW's stevia extract is produced utilizing a proprietary extraction process that uses only water and organic alcohol. The resulting extract is then prepared with a vegetarian-source enzyme (glucosyl transferase) to reduce the licorice-like and metallic aftertaste common in regular stevia extracts. All varieties of BetterStevia® are made with organic stevia.
