The application potential of stevia in medicine and health care

1.Sweeteners and adjunctive therapeutics for diabetics

Stevioside's indigestibility does not cause an increase in blood glucose levels after ingestion, and it does not increase blood insulin levels, making it suitable for diabetics.

Clinical studies have found that stevioside has the potential to increase insulin and have resistance to hyperglycemia, especially for type 2 diabetes.

Eliminating the symptoms of “three more” after taking diabetes (eat more, drink more, and more urine), it is the nutrient sugar substitute that is most suitable for diabetics.

2.stevia can improve gastrointestinal function

Stevia can promote the proliferation of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the human body, and it has the functions of improving human immunity, preventing and treating constipation and diarrhea.

Bifidobacteria can synthesize nutrients needed by the body such as folic acid, pantothenic acid, niacin and B vitamins, promote the intestinal mucosal absorption of calcium, iron and other minerals, 

decompose carcinogens such as nitrite, and significantly reduce the intestinal pH. , inhibit the production of pathogenic bacteria (such as E. coli, Clostridium and Salmonella),

 reduce the production of corruption products, promote intestinal motility, and relieve constipation.

It also has certain adjuvant treatment effects and preventive effects on gastrointestinal diseases (gasitis, hyperacidity, etc.).

3.Stevia has the effect of lowering blood cholesterol and triglyceride content

Lowering the concentration of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the human body does not affect the concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), 

resulting in an increase in the HDL/LDL ratio.The reason is that the structure of stevia enables it to have a certain ability to adsorb lipids and to absorb bile acids in the intestine, 

so that cholesterol and fat under single state are not conducive to the absorption of intestinal villi.

4.Stevia has antihypertensive and antihypertensive effects

According to research, it was found that stevioside has a very good therapeutic effect on systolic and diastolic blood pressure,

 and there are no obvious toxic side effects. In addition, studies have found that extracts of stevia can produce antihistamines. 

Therefore, stevioside can reduce the incidence of allergies and has a good effect on allergic rhinitis, asthma and other allergic diseases.

5.Stevia has the effect of preventing dental diseases such as dental caries

Stevioside's caries prevention properties work best in all sweeteners. First is the non-fermenting nature of stevia so that it is not used by bacteria in the mouth, 

reducing the nutrients needed for bacterial growth. Reduce the acid in the oral cavity; next, stevioside has a promoting effect on saliva, 

which slows down the trend of PH value, prevents the teeth from being acidified and is destroyed, and achieves the purpose of prosthodontics.

6.Stevia has the function of losing weight and preventing cardiovascular diseases

After consumption of stevia, the human body cannot decompose stevia glycosides and convert it into glucose, which is absorbed by the blood vessels. 

Stevia can be excreted in the form of fibers after digestion, so it does not contain excess calories and causes weight gain or increases glucose levels in diabetic patients. .

Stevia is not involved in metabolism in the body and does not accumulate, so consumption of stevia does not result in fat gain.

For those who are looking for a natural non-caloric sweetener alternative for their healthy lifestyle balance and weight management program,

 stevia glycosides is a perfect, unprecedented opportunity to enjoy a healthy and sweet life.
