Stevia leaf extract
 
Stevia is a genus of about 240 species of herbs and shrubs in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), native to subtropical and tropical regions from western North America to South America. The species Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf, or simply stevia, is widely grown for its sweet leaves. As a sweetener and sugar substitute, stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, although some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.

With its steviol glycoside extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives. Because stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose, it is attractive as a natural sweetener to people on carbohydrate-controlled diets.

The Stevia plants are rich in nutrients. These include: protein, calcium, phosphorous, sodium, magnesium, zinc, rutin, vitamin A, vitamin C, and others, but has no caloric value.
Stevioside is an extract from stevia sweetener, a natural herb from South America. Stevia has been available in the USA since the mid 1990s, and thus far no significant side effects have been reported. Stevioside is an active extract from stevia herb and appears to have health benefits such as potential anti cancer and blood pressure lowering effects. The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) in 2006, performed a thorough evaluation of the recent studies of Stevioside and Steviols on animals and humans and concluded that Stevioside and Rebaudioside A are not toxic and that no evidence of carcinogenic activity was found. The W.H.O. also noted that Stevioside has a pharmacological effect in patients with hypertension (lowers elevated blood pressure) and with the Type 2 diabetes (helps stabilize blood sugar levels).
