NOW Foods BetterStevia Liquid, Clear, 8 Fl Oz (P26582)

I have been using this for over 5 years. Love it! Taste just like sugar even better. Note- be careful buying any Stevia in a store regardless what it says on the package. They add other ingredients not good for you. Example - I purchased a box of stevia packets in a store. The front of the box in big letters said, "Pure Stevia". Cost $12 dollars. I take it home but then got to reading the ingredients. It had maltodextrin in it & some other stuff. Maltodextrin will shoot your glucose sky high (bad). I threw it in the trash. Very important to read the ingredients. This stevia is pure with no other ingredients! I am diabetic & use it in my coffee. Just a few drops. Very convenient. This bottle last me a number of weeks, or over a month. Can be used to make some homemade ice cream or eggnog with no sugar, or anything else. Priceless! Highly recommend.

This product arrived quickly. It is a good value. Taste very good. Nice and sweet for coffee, tea and other uses. Yes, I will buy it again.

I don't get the bad aftertaste with this brand unless I put way too much in. I don't like that it comes in a plastic bottle, so I transfer it into a dark brown glass bottle with a glass dropper. I don't need 2 or 3 dropper fulls to sweeten my 40 oz drink, usually 1/2 a dropper does the trick. I go through a lot of this because I fill up my 40 oz several times a day, add lemon juice and a few other things. I haven't used this for anything other than drinks at this point. It's a great sugar substitute. Dissolves easily, no after tasste, easy to use.

Read so many reviews before I ordered and have tried many different brands and types of Stevia. Definitely have to say this is the best and my absolute favorite. Does not have a bitter flavor, but when you first start using stevia there is an adjustment period where you realize it doesn’t taste exactly like sugar and if you use too much it does have a slight aftertaste. The trick is to start with a few drops and add more if needed. You get used to the flavor and now I prefer it!I am trying to go back on my ketogenic diet again. The last time I did it I lost 45 lbs very easily and rather quickly but when I went on a cruise this spring I got off it and I have since realized that the food industry puts sugar in everything!! Even mayonnaise??!! But this product allows me to have the sweetness I need in my coffee or tea and I can use it in recipes instead of sugar. I went from prediabetic and high blood pressure, to all normal. Stevia has been instrumental in this!I have tried the organic version and I didn’t think it was as good as this one, didn’t see the sense in paying the extra money when it didn’t taste as good. * And if you check the back of this one it says Certified Organic Stevia Leaf Extract.I have tried other brands as well and had a few of the small squeeze bottles of other brands I bought at the grocery store ( I still like the Now brand better) and refilled the empty bottles with this and I can easily slide it in a pocket in my purse and use my wonderful stevia when I’m out rather than the other nasty sweetener options.I read reviews of others who were using this because they are diabetic and/or also doing a ketogenic diet and were concerned about the fact that it states 11% Organic Cane Alcohol as one of the ingredients... I had to do some research and from what I found, all extracts need some sort of solvent - either alcohol or glycerin. There is Stevia Glycerite and Now brand makes one, but it is much thicker. The alcohol used to make this extract, even though it is from organic cane, has negligible (almost zero) sugar in it and will not effect your blood glucose levels.Highly recommend

OK, I am a stevia user and have used many brands, powders, liquids, etc.ALCOHOL: Obviously, if you are on ANABUSE or are an alcoholic, you probably do not want the 10% alcohol. Also, it seems dishonest to say "zero calories" I am pretty sure alcohol has many calories. And that it is turned straight into SUGAR by the body. Negligible when using 4 drops, but if you pour it in like one reviewer, you might not want this in your diet. (did you know anything less than a gram need not be listed, so anything in a one gram pack, like splenda, and shocker, TRUVIA, have some type sugar based sweetener, which you only find out about by buying a big bag!)FLAVOR: I find all pure stevia is pretty similar in flavor, the difference is strength. Adding the alcohol, it could have made it a bit different in flavor, but I only noticed the lack of strength. Now, if you put TOO MUCH in, stevia is BITTER! If you get the right amount, and take time to adjust, or add a small bit of sugar for flavor, I find it a wonderful tool for a sugar addict like myself. It is amazing what a tiny bit of sugar does to fool your mouth and mellow out the artificial flavor. OR honey, etc. I personally enjoy NO STICKY SUGAR aftermouth. I add xylitol, which kills bacteria, for a super clean mouth feeling.STRENGTH: THis stuff is a great deal. It is about (maybe a smidge weaker)the same strength of sweetleaf, which is 10 bucks for 2 oz at Whole Foods. The strongest brand I have tried is Clear Stevia by NuNaturals, which costs 15 for 2 oz at whole foods, but is cheaper due to being double the strength.USE, MEASURING: don't pour the stuff in. it is too expensive, and it will taste BAAAD. Pour some of the bottle into your old stevia bottle with a dropper, and use a dropper. I find about 5-10 drops per cup is good, depending what you are sweetening. (5 for water---yes, I am really addicted) Start small and work your way up to find your preference.If you are totally unable to deal with droppers and little bottles, use a powder. SweetLear has one with fiber in it(don't let it get wet and harden on your counter) , and others, or there is the cheap and maltodextrous Truvia.A good deal, and I like it, but I WISH THEY WOULD TAKE OUT THE ALCOHOL. Seems pointless to me.

The product is great! No issues! However Amazon handlers need to be a bit more careful and not throw around packages, I recd mine with a cracked cap for the third time!

This is a great sweetener with very little after taste. I use it in coffee and baking recipes.
