> 24 hourIn my quest to find healthier sugars, I have learned that Stevia is one of the best sugars around. I have tried many brands, in packet form, in concentrated form, and alcohol-based versions. By far, Stevia in glycerine is the best for mouth-feel, and the closest tasting to actual sugar cane with ZERO aftertaste. I cannot speak highly enough of this product. I go through many bottles of it a year in my teas and coffees. The best part about this is that its glycerine based, which is something our bodies need for joint support. Do your research on glycerine supplementation for more facts. The ingredients list also references Certified Organic Stevia. Non-GMO! Non-GMO foods are a no-brainer. Secondly, I have been in ketosis for over a year, and this product allows me to enjoy sweetened foods without spiking my insulin or raising glucose levels. Its also not a chemical like Splenda and Nutrasweet, so rest assured it will not contribute to cancer. There is one recommendation that I have if you use this product. It is reported that microwaving glycerine is not a good idea, as it creates a toxic by-product. So be sure you heat your beverages first, and then add the Stevia at the end. If I had to give this product one ding, I would complain about the cap. Because the solution is syrupy, it tends to collect around the cap. This is not a problem if you run the bottle under the tap to clean off the residue every once and a while. Ive noticed that NOW has changed the cap type from a bigger mouth into a smaller one, probably in response to this issue. But we warned that it can get a little messy at times. Otherwise, the product itself is well worth this small inconvenience. Be sure to look for this in a multi-pack. You can save a LOT more money per bottle. If you are like me and go through Stevia a lot, the multi-bottle discounts are far more worth it than those selling the single bottles.

> 24 hourTheres something about glycerite that tames the stevia into submission. Ha! I have a bottle of monkfruit and this stevia that I use in conjunction. In warm or dry recipes I include erythritol in the blend. Perfection with the 3 together.

> 24 hourIve been sugar-free for 20+ years thanks to hormone imbalance, and this is the best liquid sweetener Ive ever used ... tastes good and wont wreck your gut or cause cancer. My husband is super picky about sugar-free and most of it gives him digestive trouble, but he loves this stuff. We make our sweet tea with it, and Ive used it in coffee, oatmeal, baking, etc. with yummy results. Its also the best price of any brand Ive used. 1 Tbsp/gal of tea for medium-sweet (in the South). Caveat: Increase the amount in baked goods because heat destroys some of the sweet compounds and of course, use your brain when trying to replace sugar. Doesnt taste like sugar, but also doesnt have that chemical aftertaste of artificial sweeteners. Not as sweet as saccharine or aspartame; sweeter than most sucralose blends Ive used.

> 24 houri tried this stevia as an alternative to the original NOW foods liquid stevia. this formula tastes fine, but is much more viscous (i.e., much thicker) than the original so i had trouble figuring out how much to use. a little of this goes a lonng way, and i probably used too much at a time. overall, i prefer the original formula so will likely go back to that.

> 24 hourI use this a lot, from sweetening drinks to baked goods to ice cream. I do have to say that if you use a lot of it, I do tend to taste the bitterness of the stevia. However, if you use it in combination with a bulk sweetener, like Swerve, Pyure, or Just Like Sugar, it works really well!

> 24 hourI have ordered Better Liquid Stevia 8 oz from NOW brand before and I LOVE it. It is smooth and no after taste. I ordered the glycerin by accident. I just finished the liquid, opened up the glycerin and oh my word, it is awful! The after taste is strong and the taste is bitter. I wish I would have realized before the return window was closed. I now have 2 bottles of this stuff that I paid for and cannot use. Dont be disheartened, the liquid is very good just make sure you get the liquid and the price for the 8 oz is fantastic.
