Stevia and Blood Sugar

Stevia offers a useful alternative for those aiming to control blood sugar levels. Because it doesn’t cause spikes in blood glucose like traditional sugars, it can be a suitable sweetener for individuals with diabetes or anyone reducing their sugar intake. Emerging research also indicates that stevia may enhance insulin sensitivity, contributing to improved blood sugar regulation.¹ ²

Stevia and Its Antioxidant Properties

It also contains a variety of antioxidant compounds, including flavonoids and phenolic acids. These substances help counteract oxidative stress by neutralising free radicals, which can otherwise damage cells and tissues. Through this antioxidant activity, stevia may support overall health and contribute to a reduced risk of inflammation-related and age-associated chronic conditions.³

Stevia for Metabolic Health

Research indicates that stevia may also help reduce body fat accumulation and support healthier blood pressure levels, both of which contribute to improved metabolic health. By promoting better fat metabolism and aiding in weight regulation, stevia may also lower the risk of metabolic conditions such as cardiovascular disease.⁴ ⁵

Is Stevia Anti-inflammatory?

Its bioactive compounds, such as diterpene glycosides and flavonoids, have been shown to modulate inflammatory pathways. These compounds may inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory molecules and reduce oxidative stress, contributing to stevia’s anti-inflammatory effects at the cellular level.⁶
