It is also versatile as it can be used for a variety of applications. The recommended use as a flavour enhancer is 1\/32 teaspoon (1\/4 of 1\/8 teaspoon) per cup of liquid. This pure, fine, white powder is produced through a commercial process that consists of water extraction from dried leaves followed by clarification and crystallization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStevia rebaudiana is a small shrub native to South America which is known for its sweet tasting leaves. The leaf extract contains steviosides which are very sweet tasting and non-caloric, but also have beneficial effects on health. It has also been shown in humans that steviosides reduce postprandial blood glucose in type 2 diabetics, indicating improved glucose metabolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are multiple hypoglycemic effects of stevioside, one of which is a dose-dependent reduction in phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK). Reducing the level of PEPCK decreases hepatic glucose production and improves glucose metabolism. Stevioside also acts directly on pancreatic beta cells to increase blood sugar stabilizer secretion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHerbal Select Organic Stevia Extract Directions:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Dosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use daily in hot \u0026amp; cold drinks, cereals, sprinkled on fruits, food preparation and making preserves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRisk Information: Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you have high blood pressure or diabetes or are pregnant or breastfeeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHerbal Select Organic Stevia Extract Ingredients:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic Stevia 10:1 Extract Leaf Powder (Stevia rebaudiana)\u003cbr\u003eStevia 14:1 Extract Leaf Powder (Stevia rebaudiana)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients: Rice Maltodextrin, Silica.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContains No: Carbohydrate, sugar, sodium or calories\/food energy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupporting Science:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003eJeppesen PB, Gregersen S, Poulsen CR, Hermansen K.
