Now Real Food Xylitol

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is naturally present in small amounts in various fruits and vegetables.* The Finnish name for Xylitol is “koivusokeri”, or birch sugar, a reference to the extraction of Xylitol from birch bark. NOW Pure Xylitol is derived from a Non-GMO corn source.* Considerable amounts of Xylitol is formed in the body every day as a result of normal metabolic processes.* Although it is classified as a carbohydrate, this sweet crystalline substance is slowly absorbed from the digestive tract and does not cause rapid rises in blood glucose.* In addition, the caloric impact of Xylitol is typically lower than other carbohydrates, making it a lower calorie addition to any diet.* Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that cannot be utilized by bacteria in the mouth.* The best thing about NOW Xylitol is that it can take the place of the sugar you’re already using. After all, it looks like sugar, tastes like sugar and pours just like regular sugar!* Xylitol is a wise alternative for your sweet tooth.
