Stevia rebaudiana bertoni is a plant belonging to the chrysanthemum family. It is native to South America. Stevia leaves have been used for centuries by the indigenous people.
Although the herb Stevia Rebaudiana has become well-known recently as a South American herb, Chinese records describe its use in China as long ago as 300 years. Modern studies available through MEDLINE, the National Library of Medicine’s computerized database, report its effectiveness in helping regulate the body’s blood sugar processes. Stevia has been used for hundreds of years as a sweetener in South America and now is also used extensively in Japan, where it is put in everything from soft drinks to soy sauce.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Sunrider’s stevia is grown without pesticides, has not been hybridized, or genetically engineered. No preservatives or alcohol are used in the formulation. The natural herb (Stevia) has tannic acid naturally occurring in the stem of the plant. Dr. Chen, with his enhancement and concentration process, is able to eliminate this and any other negative ingredient that naturally occurs in the Stevia herb.
It takes 2500 gallons of herbal liquid to make 20 gallons of Suncare. Suncare and SuncarePlus are, by far, the most concentrated Stevia products anywhere.
Note that in Canada Sunrider has to put “Herbal Skin Care” on the bottle … it works great on our “inside” skin as well as our “outside” skin!!!
This Stevia-based product may be sold as dietary supplements and not as sweetening agents or as an ingredient in a food to flavor or enhance. Sunrider’s Stevia is still sold as a skin care product and has not yet been recognized as a dietary supplement.
