FAQ – Monk Fruit Sweetener Questions, Answered

Everything you've wondered about Heal Sugar™ monk fruit sweetener drops — answered honestly.

What is monk fruit sweetener?

Monk fruit (luo han guo) is a small green fruit that has been used in Asia for centuries. Its sweetness comes from natural compounds called mogrosides, which are up to 250 times sweeter than sugar but contain zero calories and zero carbohydrates. Heal Sugar™ is a concentrated liquid monk fruit extract, made with just three ingredients.

What are the ingredients in Heal Sugar™?

Three, and that is the whole list: Monk Fruit Extract, Purified Water and Vitamin C. No erythritol, no maltodextrin, no fillers, no artificial sweeteners and no artificial flavours. The vitamin C keeps the extract stable in the bottle.

Is monk fruit sweetener safe?

Yes. Monk fruit extract is considered safe by food safety authorities worldwide, including the US FDA (GRAS status). Heal Sugar™ is FSSAI registered (Reg. No. 21326225000291) and third-party lab tested in India.

How many drops replace one teaspoon of sugar?

Just one. 1 drop = 1 teaspoon of sugar. One 10ml bottle contains around 200 drops — enough to replace 200 teaspoons of sugar in your chai, coffee, desserts and shakes.

Is it suitable for people with diabetes?

Monk fruit sweetener has a glycemic index of zero, which means it does not raise blood glucose the way sugar does. That makes it a popular sugar alternative in diabetic households. As with any dietary change, we recommend consulting your doctor about what's right for your individual health plan.

Does it have the bitter aftertaste of stevia?

No. The bitter, liquorice-like aftertaste many people notice with stevia comes from compounds called steviol glycosides. Monk fruit's mogrosides taste clean and sugar-like, which is why many people who gave up on stevia switch to monk fruit. You can read our full comparison in Monk Fruit vs Stevia.

Can I use it in hot chai, coffee and cooking?

Yes. Monk fruit extract is heat-stable, so it works in boiling chai, hot coffee, baking and Indian sweets. It dissolves instantly in both hot and cold drinks — no stirring battle, no gritty residue.

Does Heal Sugar™ contain erythritol or artificial sweeteners?

No. Heal Sugar™ contains no erythritol, no aspartame, no sucralose, no fillers and no artificial flavours. The full ingredient list is Monk Fruit Extract, Purified Water and Vitamin C. That is our Zero Chemical Promise.
