WHAT IS NATURLOSE?
Naturlose is our brand name for tagatose, a naturally occurring ketose that is
found in some dairy products and other foods. We have patented the use of it as
a low-calorie, full-bulk sweetener, and also the process to make it starting
from whey, a dairy by-product. Naturlose has been determined to be a Generally
Recognized As Safe (GRAS) substance in the U.S., with the FDA permitting its use
in foods and beverages. Naturlose has also been determined GRAS for use in
cosmetics and toothpastes, and in drugs.
Naturlose can currently be used as a sweetener in toothpaste, mouthwash, and
other cosmetics, and can also be used as an excipient (non-active ingredient) in
over-the-counter and prescription medications.
NATURLOSE QUICK FACTS
- The taste of sugar – far better than any low-calorie sweetener. Taste
tests show that you can’t tell the difference between Naturlose and table sugar.
- No aftertaste like some other bulk sweeteners or high intensity sweeteners.
- Naturlose is 92% as sweet as table sugar.
- Unlike other sweeteners that require special tricks for baking,
Naturlose browns and bakes.
- Naturlose has anti-plaque, anti-biofilm, anti-halitosis, and non-cariogenic
properties. It does not cause cavities and does not promote tooth decay – so
dentists encourage its use.
- Naturlose doesn’t cause glucose spikes, so no sugar rush or sugar crash occurs
(diabetics can find more information on the
Naturlose and Diabetes
page).
- Naturlose is a prebiotic – promoting general gut health by promoting healthy
bacteria and inhibiting dangerous ones.
