 2. High digestive tolerance: Erythritol is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine due to its small molecular size and structure.

3. Safe for diabetes’ person: Single dose and 14-day clinical studies demonstrate erythritol does not affect blood serum glucose or insulin levels.

4. Do not cause tooth decay: Erythritol like other polyols is resistant to metabolism by oral bacteria which break down sugars and starches to produce acids which may lead to tooth enamel loss and cavities formation. According to a 3-year study in 485 school children, erythritol was even more protective against dental caries than xylitol and sorbitol.
