Let's talk about OnoSweet® and why I chose to use it in Everyday Hydration.
Although I have zero problem with sucralose, aspartame, and other artificial sweeteners, I realize the general public is looking for more natural sweetener alternatives. It is much more expensive to do this, but it was a cost I was willing to eat. I didn't go with monk fruit, because of the cost and lack of scalability. I didn't want pure Stevia, because of the bitter aftertaste (there is a small amount of Stevia in it). In my opinion, OnoSweet® is the best natural sweetener available for supplement brands.
OnoSweet® is a patented, natural, zero-calorie sweetener made from fermented rice. It is stevia-free and not derived from the stevia plant, delivering clean sweetness without bitterness or lingering aftertaste while supporting modern clean-label and sustainability expectations. As you increase use levels, sweetness builds predictably without peaking, with zero glycemic response and a clean finish.
Fun Facts:
> It is about 250 times sweeter than regular sugar and 2.5 times sweeter than monk fruit.
> It avoids the licorice or metallic finish common in traditional stevia.
> It has a zero glycemic index and does not spike blood sugar levels.
> It does not cause the digestive upset or bloating linked to erythritol or xylitol.
> How it's made: Food-grade microbes convert rice starches into pure Rebaudioside M (Reb M).
> Though Reb M is found in the stevia plant, this version never touches a stevia leaf, eliminating the plant's natural bitterness.
> It is non-GMO.
> Compared to monk fruit, OnoSweet® gives formulators a more scalable, cost-effective and consistent option for sugar-free products.
If you haven't tried Everyday Hydration it is seriously tasty and refreshing. I didn't want a super sweet flavor that was overpowering. I wanted the flavor to match the Baja Gold™ Saltiness, and it did it perfectly.
