What it is:
Jocko GOOD Sweetener® is a carefully crafted blend of allulose, monk fruit extract, and reb-M, designed to provide a delicious, low-calorie sweetness without compromising on taste or safety. Here’s a closer look at each component of our sweetener:
Allulose: Allulose is a naturally occurring sugar found in small quantities in certain fruits like figs and raisins. It’s typically derived from corn or other plant sources through a process of enzymatic conversion. Allulose is absorbed in the small intestine but is not metabolized for energy. Instead, it is excreted in the urine, contributing minimal to no calories. Allulose has a sweetness profile similar to that of table sugar but with much fewer calories. It has been shown to have a negligible effect on blood sugar levels and is generally considered safe for most people, including those with diabetes. Clinical studies support its safety, with no significant adverse effects reported.
Monk Fruit Extract: Monk fruit extract is derived from the monk fruit, a small, green fruit native to Southeast Asia. The extract is obtained by removing the seeds and skin, then crushing the fruit to release its natural sweetness. Monk fruit extract contains natural compounds called mogrosides, which are intensely sweet but contain no calories. These compounds do not raise blood sugar levels. Monk fruit extract is known for its high sweetness potency and is a popular choice for those seeking a natural, zero-calorie sweetener. It is considered safe and well-tolerated, with no known adverse effects.
Reb-M: Reb-M is one of the many compounds found in stevia leaves, specifically a steviol glycoside known for its intense sweetness. Extracted from the leaves of the stevia plant, Reb-M provides sweetness without calories or impact on blood sugar levels. It is a high-potency sweetener, so only a small amount is needed to achieve the desired sweetness. Reb-M has a clean, sugar-like taste and has been extensively studied and is recognized as safe for consumption by major health authorities.
Our Jocko GOOD Sweetener® is designed to offer a superior sweetness experience with minimal impact on calories and blood sugar. By combining allulose, monk fruit extract, and reb-M, we achieve a balanced, natural sweetness that enhances the flavor of our products while supporting your health and wellness goals.
