Monk Drops - 100% Monkfruit Liquid Sweetener, Zero Glycemic, Zero Calories, Zero Sugar, No Added Water, Concentrated Monk Fruit (350 Servings, 1.5 Fl Oz)

I learned the value of this product early in 2021. Here-to-for, sweetness of the product has been reliable although different foods and beverages will require you to adjust to your taste. As such, you will discover more product is required to achieve the desired sweetness.After a year using this Monk fruit sweetener I personally do not experience any after taste other than a comparable to regular sugar after taste. I do not experience any Blood sugar spikes what-so-ever. I drink a strong coffee that normally requires about 1/3 tsp for mild sweetness. Morning Oatmeal with diced red apple and cinnamon, chopped walnuts and pecans for protein and 5-6 drops of Monk fruit sweetener.I RECENTLY HAD TO PURCHASE THE 1.5 OZ SIZE BECAUSE AMAZON DOES NOT HAVE THE 8 OZ REFILL SIZE AVAILABLE IN A REASONABLE SUPPLY TIME. (20 -30 DAYS, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF SUPPLY ISSUE FROM CHINA WHERE MONK FRUIT IS ONLY GROWING SOURCE).THIS MOST RECENT SHIPMENT DEFINATELY IS NOT AS SWEET. MY NORMAL CUP OF COFFEE REQUIRES A FULL TEASPOON OF SWEETNER INSTEAD OF THE 1/3 TEASPOON. SO I NORMALLY GET 6 CUPS OF COFFEE PER OZ OF SWEETNER. THE MOST RECENT SHIPMENT ONLY YIELDS 4 1/2 CUPS MAKING THE SWEETNER NEARLY 50% MORE EXPENSIVE. SO EACH CUP OF COFFEE HAS $4.00 OF SWEETNER PER CUP VERSES $1.50 PER CUP NORMALLY. :(I HAVE NEVER QUIBLED OVER THE PRICE @ 1.50 PER CUP. I DON'T MIND PAYING THE PRICE FOR SAKE OF GOOD HEALTH. THAT SAID, THE LOWER SWEETNESS OF MOST RECENT SHIPMENT LEADS ME TO WONDER IF MANUFACTURER IS DILUTING THE PRODUCT. I HOPE THIS IS NOT THE CASE AS THE PRODUCT HAS BEEN RELIABLE UP TO THIS CURRENT ISSUE.I call this the safest and best product on the market simply because it has no added sugar alcohol or Erythritol that will cause blood sugar spikes. Erythritol is an extremely sweet additive often used in other Monk Fruit brands and frequently (read the ingredient labels) is used as a sugar substitute in many processed foods that are labeled "Lo or No sugar added".Some claimed Organic Monk Fruit powder sweeteners have Erythritol added to enhance the sweetness. Those additives will however spike Blood Sugar. That said, consumers should read the ingredient labels carefully.I have had diet controlled diabetes for 14 years. Simply put, I have never needed Insulin or other medications to control the Diabetes. When first diagnosed I had been consuming a pint of Ice Cream every evening and eating any processed foods including Candy bars without regard to the damage all those foods I enjoyed that were having a devastating effect on my health and longevity. I then realized my terrible unhealthy diet would shorten my life. I struggled mentally for about two weeks while stopping all sugar and foods that elevate Glucose. I was really fraught with a lifetime of ignorance regarding my terrible diet. That is when I had an Epiphany of mind as I realized only I could prolong my life to an expected old age closer to 100.I am now 85+, rarely nap, do 30 minutes of cardio exercise daily, Survived Brady Cardia and Atrial Fibrillation with an implanted Pacemaker in 2021. My Diet is Hi Protein, lo saturated fat, lo-Carbohydrates, Fresh Organic fruits and vegetables daily, all for Glucose control. I also take up to 60 Vitamins and Minerals daily.Although this may seem like a horrible diet, the reality is how long do we expect to survive. I really have not encountered any unreasonable change of taste in the food I consume. It has been more a process of elimination of hi fat, hi sugar processed foods that we all know eventually lead to poor health. So can we conquer mentally the Lifestyle changes necessary for longevity? The proof for me personally has been that I have never needed to monitor my Glucose levels after the first three months of 3 X daily sticks for blood sample. I recently had to fast for an Esophagus surgery. My blood sugar after three days of starvation was 58. Medical staff at hospital was in a panic thinking I was in Hypoglycemic shock. Frankly I knew better simply because Diabetes is a huge money making industry and Allopathic medicine follows the industry directives. I felt fine but medical staff in their panic stood by while they pushed me to quickly drink three 8 oz glasses of hi sugar orange juice while they stuck my fingers for glucose blood. It took 45 minutes for my Blood Sugar to rise to 120. THE DIET AND LIFESTYLE WORKS FOLKS...The first year was a daily mental challenge. A close younger family member was diagnosed about the same time and that person has never been able to overcome the mental challenge necessary in following the diet that reverses type II diabetes.That person within 6 months was prescribed oral medication and within 3 months was doing insulin several times daily for Glucose control. He spent 3 months in hospital with Covid in 2021 and is now living with Oxygen about 6 hours daily.Conversely, I have managed to remain Covid free in spite of living in the same house with 4 family members all who had Covid. They did not quarantine and all since are now working to improve their health and diet.Good health to all,Bro@home

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Better and healthier than Splenda and stevia

New update 7/14/2019... I still like this stuff, but I'm finding that it take about 25 drops to equal 1 tsp of sugar and almost 40 drop to get the same level of sweetness as a packet of splenda. That's about 1 gram. So I guesstimate there are about 45 servings of 25 drops per bottle. Don't believe what they say on the bottle. The suggested serving sizes of all these sweeteners don't take into account the longevity of the sweet taste which tend to dissipate quickly, requiring more sweetener to achieve the same level of perceived taste. Try it and you can do the math from there. It's decent stuff. I'm not convinced that Monkfruit doesn't give me the same sort of insulin spike that Splenda is purported to do. It doesn't cut down on my cravings, but if it doesn't truly boost my glucose I'm ok with that.Again, none of this Monkfruit stuff is cheap. But I tend to mix the Monk Drops with the Lakanto Monkfruit blend and buy the Lakanto in 3 pound packs which is way cheaper than 1 pounders at the grocery store. If you know what the cost is and my experience with serving size and are ok with the price I would encourage you to try it.Edit/Update... I'm trying to find something to get away from Splenda as I'm told that the stuff spikes blood sugar in spite of being sugar free. I don't know if I believe that, but I'll go with it for the time being. I've had these Monkfruit drops for a week or so now and just wanted to see if I actually like the stuff. Three drop= 1 tps sugar? Not close. I have to figure 8-10 at least. Even 10 drops didn't sweeten my small coffee enough. As an experiment I kept adding drops until a cup of coffee became as sweet as I like, typically with one to 1.5 packets of Splenda. Well... it take about 20 drops to equal on packet of Splenda if that helps. The good news is that it takes good like sugar/Splenda, far better than Stevia. It just takes a lot to get there.I initially gave it two stars, but have upgraded it. I still think it's expensive, but it's easy to use and easy to carry. For those that like to keep sweetener in a purse or pocket this stuff will be great. Yeah, I'll probably bite the bullet and buy it again.

I really liked this untill reviews started stating it had changed and seemed like honey,and no response from seller.

Good flavor but it gives me diarrhea. you have been warned. Even 2 drops causes the 'runs' for me.

The best way by far to sweeten drinks without adding sugar alcohols. 100% Monk Fruit is the only way to go!
