I would like to order this product NOW Foods - Certified Organic Liquid Stevia Extract - 8 oz. (formerly Non-Bitter), but what does it me 'formerly Non-Bitter'?
1521333
My understanding is that "Non-Bitter" was a marketing tag due to the fact that many of the early Stevia extracts had, in fact, a bitter after taste. I assume the product no longer needs to promote the "non-bitter after taste" since almost all of the current extracts no longer have that problem. The Now Foods product seems to be one of the better extracts (we have sampled five others) and we also like the fact that it is a certified organic product. We have re-ordered it several times and haven't found a better choice.

We just called the company. According to their customer service rep, this stevia has ALWAYS had maltodextrin in it. He said that it's just residue from the machinery. He refused to comment on why they're suddenly including it on their labels or why their label used to guarantee no additional ingredients if it had maltodextrin. Then he invited us to buy from someone else if we don't like it. So we are.

Hi - yes, I can help because I asked that question directly to the company. Orgain changed the formula a little to remove the soy in particular. There was also some organic stevia added at that time. But the change wasn't that well received by some customers. They changed it again to reduce the stevia to almost nothing and improve the consistency back to what it was. I know that Chocolate Fudge flavor with November 2013 and on expiration dates are the improved (like it used to be) formula. I've had it and it's great again. Vitamin Shoppe has some and I'm told it will be back on Amazon very soon. Hope that helps. Hi - yes, I can help because I asked that question directly to the company.

I did not buy the packets, only the bulk pure powder. In my experience, I have never found a pure stevia product without an aftertaste. That being said, I love the product and we don't notice the aftertaste anymore.

I have NOT used this "Mood & Mind" brand. I use the "Better Stevia" brand, and the container I have says one serving (equivalent of 1 teaspoon of table sugar) of this stevia extract powder is 1 level scoop (46 mg). I filled a level 1/4 teaspoon measure with 8 level scoops, so this brand is very concentrated. My 1-oz container has 622 servings. Check for the size and number of servings for whichever brand you are considering because some brands include fillers or may use a less-sweet variety of Stevia, thus requiring a larger amount. As this is a natural product, the degree of "sweetness" may vary from batch to batch, so I'd be cautious about buying a huge bag (1 lb or more). I have NOT used this "Mood & Mind" brand.

The recent one I received about 2 weeks ago doesn't have stevia in the ingredients. I didn't know it was changed and it taste the same as the previous formulation to me.

I do not know if it is Organic, but here is your conversion table.1 cup of sugar = 1 teaspoon Stevia powdered extract1 tablespoon of sugar = 1/4 teaspoon Stevia powdered extract1 teaspoon of sugar = 1/16 teaspoon (yes 1/16th)(a tiny measuring device came with my first stevia bottle purchase, this is what I use.)

Stevia 90% Steviocides white extract powder. NO ADDITIVES OR FILLERS! This is pure, white, standardized Stevia extract. Serving Size: 1/32 teaspoon (10088 servings per pound). Our Stevia extract is standardized to 90% steviasides so that it is extremely potent. Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a natural herb that is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar and grows in Asia and South America. South American natives have used Stevia for centuries; though it has just recently become popular in the United States. I found this on their website. It does not say organic, but some of the reviews say it is. Maybe they called? I would assume it is as close as possible without the "certification" being derived from South America. You see they list a serving size as 1/32 of a teaspoon. It is really to taste. I tend to use different amounts for different items. Drinks vs. baked goods. I find it dissolves best in hot water and love it in my tea and coffee.

Hi there! Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, NOW Foods does not indicate that this product is organic or non-GMO, so we have to assume that it is possible the ingredients used could be GMO derived. For a definite answer, our best suggestion would be to contact NOW Foods directly. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused. ~Juliana

if you are ordering pure Stevia Extract there should be no maltodextrin ... or anything else in it. I've purchased this a couple of times in the past and there was no maltodextrin. It's the primary reason such a small amount and this bottle goes such a long way. The products that contain fillers have to be larger to last. I am presently utilizing another brand (Now Foods) that is also labeled 'extract' and contains no other ingredients.

The ingredient listed on the nutrition label on the back of the bottle, does say organic stevia. It is the only ingredient. I have been buying this brand for years and love it.

sierra-I am using the better stevia and the label is a green color(marked better stevia and not the same label as you are showing. I think you are showing stevia extract and not better stevia. hope this helps your question to be resolved. the better stevia works very well for me with no bitter aftertaste.

It says 100% pure but not organic on the package. I am very pleased with the product which comes from Paraguay, not China. I would suggest you contact the company directly--they are very responsive. steviaselect@outlook.com

You can view the label on linef.....supposed to be all natural....the only thing that I didnt like was the stevia. Although it is supposed to be in a natural form, I dont tolerate artificial sweeteners and it made me sick.

As someone said, it's pure Stevia. It's the best tasting Stevia product I've had. Try it - you'll love it!
