Luo Han Guo Extract is a healthy sugar substitute derived from the monk fruit and is naturally rich in mogrosides. Interestingly, mogrosides are natural compounds with incredibly sweet taste, much sweeter than sugar but contains zero calories and does not affect blood sugar levels.
Luo Han Guo is a rare fruit first used by the monks living in the mountain regions of China since the 13th century for its benefits to blood sugar levels, cholesterol management, immunity, digestive health, and respiratory functions.
Luo Han Guo Extract is an all-natural and unique way to add an incredibly sweet taste to your favourite recipes and beverages.
Unlike artificial sweeteners, Luo Han Guo Extract does not raise insulin and cholesterol levels or stimulate fat storage. It can be particularly helpful for people who wants to achieve a low-caloric and low-sugar diet without sacrificing flavour.
The sweet taste of Luo Han Guo Extract comes from a group of phytonutrients called mogrosides, which are also responsible for monk fruit's abilities to control blood sugar and insulin levels, protect the heart, provide antioxidant protection, and stimulate active immunity.

Using the maximum concentration (60%) and maximum volume (0.4 ml/ log wt) poured the solution (equivalent to 24 g/ kg body weight) down the throat, and observed the activity of the animal and found no fatalities. The animals were under observation for two weeks after the dosage and there was no abnormal behavior and no fatalities observed.
