Is liquid stevia better than powdered or 'truvia'...healthwise??

Think the liquid one is the purest....others have ingredients that end in -ose, which should be avoided. I do use truvia though I prefer the drops.

I have Pure Stevia but I find the aftertaste unpleasant. Also it doesn't dissolve all that easily.Stevia-in-the-Raw is my Stevia of choice. It can replace sugar, cup for cup. Also wonderful for baking. I halve my sugar and add Stevia-in-the-Raw for the other half when baking. For cooking it's also amazing and you know exactly how much you're adding.

Fat free milk. I do use the powdered milk because otherwise mine has turned out too liquidy. It's tart but I sweeten it with Splenda. Thanks for your tips!

I tried the Garden of Life raw protein. It was gross! I don't know if it was the stevia that was the problem, but I have a whole tub of it that I just can't stomach. As for the Growing Naturals, this stuff is AMAZING! The chocolate rice protein is equally amazing and even smoother in taste. I don't notice any excessive stevia taste in this product. I've tried Sun Warrior, which is also good, but this brand is by far my favorite. I highly recommend it!

I use the chocolate and it mixes well in the liquid. It may thicken a little, but no enough to bother me. I didn't taste/smell the stevia specifically and the drink left no aftertaste. Maybe the instant coffee I added to the powder helped.

Per the label on my bottle, it contains Kosher vegetable glycerin (60%) and water, no maltodextrin stated. However, it is a far cry from the Kal Stevia Powder. I will not buy this kal liquid again. It takes a ton of this (liquid) to get the desired sweetness as opposed to a smidgen of the powdered kind (Kal brand). To me, it tastes more "off" than the powdered stevia. While the Kal Stevia costs more, the 3-1/2 oz lasts a long, long time cuz u don't need much to sweeten and I do hv a very sweet tooth when it comes to adding it to my coffee. I can only speak for myself b4 somebody jumps at me because they may hv a different (good ?) experience.

Some of the answers above are wrong because you can Better Stevia Gylcerate in both alcohol and non alcohol, and you can get the original Stevia Glycerate in alcohol and non alcohol, so the difference between the better and the original is not Alcohol. Unless Amazon has a description problem.

I love this stevia extract, it's an ultra-fine powder that dissolves easily. If used in excess it can clump.

None of the packets are 100% stevia. They all have some kind of filler or anti-flaking ingredient. Pure stevia really absorbs moisture, so unless the packet is foil or moisture proof, they won't keep. I carry a small pure powdered stevia shaker in my purse and keep on in my car.

Yes, the glycerine will make the drops thicker than an alcohol extracted stevia. I find the "bite" of stevia is lessened with the glycerine based stevia. I prefer to use the glycerine based stevia in uncooked drinks and foods (i.e coffees, smoothies, ect.). Have fun experimenting and finding your "sweet spot."

Try Sweetleaf stervia. I much prefer it. It doesn't dissolve as easily as Kal but it does dissolve. It just takes a little longer.

I have been using the organic better stevia powder and was very concerned at any hint that it was not pure stevia. I am not allowed to have maltodextrin as it will interfere with a medical protocol I am on. So I went to the Now website and foung really good descriptions of all their various stevia products. The organic better stevia powder in jars is pure stevia. (Whew!) The packets have rice maltodextrin if regular ( not organic) and some other additive if organic. Both also have silica.

Not sure, i ony buy the KAL brand. Ive not found any of the other brands of stevia to be of the right taste for me and especially my kids.

You're welcome! Let me know if there's a different kind of stevia you are looking for. I have access to a lot more stevias than what I currently have in my store.

This Stevia does not have added chemicals. It is pure. Therefore you only need a few drops.The powders typically have a additives/chemicals and you would use two powder packages compared to the liquid you would use two - three little drops.

To my surprise, these liquid softgels seem to work better and faster than the powder brands. I've previously used a powder brand before and prefer the results I am getting from taking this one. My skin is starting to look great after a short period of time. I hope this helps you in your selection.
