About NOW Foods
NOW's Mission The NOW mission is - To provide value in products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives. NOW Foods is an award-winning and highly respected manufacturer of vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements and natural foods.
In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its infancy, entrepreneur Paul Richard paid $900 for the purchase of Fearn Soya Foods-a Chicago based manufacturer of grain and legume-based products. This began a six-decade legacy of providing health-seeking consumers with high-quality, affordable nutrition products.

Today, NOW Foods is one of the top-selling brands in health foods stores, an award-winning manufacturer, a respected advocate of the natural product industry, and a leader in the fields of nutritional science and methods development. And while NOW has grown considerably over the past four decades, one thing has never changed - NOW's commitment to providing products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives.

Frequently Asked Questions What is Stevia rebaudiana?Stevia is an herb indigenous to Paraguay and Brazil that grows 2--3 feet tall and resembles mint in appearance. The South American native Guarani Indians used this green "sweet herb" they called "kaa he-he" for centuries before a European botanist named M.S. Bertoni first learned of this unique plant from the native guides while exploring Paraguay in 1887. Though prior to the early 1900s Stevia was a plant harvested in the wild it soon thereafter was being grown in abundance on plantations. Sometime between 1918 and 1921 the USDA was introduced to this wonderfully sweet herb but because of political and other interests Stevia was not accepted as a natural sweetener. The compounds in Stevia that give the herb its sweet taste called Steviosides were isolated by French scientists in 1931. Since the 1970s Japan has approved and used Stevia extracts as a sweetener in everything from ice cream to soft drinks.Today in the USA our FDA still has not approved Stevia as a sweetener. However, since the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, they have approved it as a dietary supplement. How is NOW's Stevia produced?NOW's stevia extract is produced utilizing a patent-pending process which involves extracting from stevia leaves using only water and alcohol. The resulting extract is treated with a vegetarian-source enzyme (glucosyl transferase) to reduce the licorice-like aftertaste of regular stevia extracts. The following are not used and not allowed: pesticides, fumigants, irradiation, other solvents, sulfur dioxide. There are no carriers or flow agents added to the extract other than what we claim on the label. The resulting extract contains no less than 80% Glucosylsteviosides as measured by HPLC testing. The Stevia Glycerite liquid is now much thicker than it was. Why?NOW has increased the percentage of Glycerine to help maintain the freshness of the product. Glycerine acts as a natural preservative, as well as having a nice sweet taste, but is low on the glycemic index listing (which shows how much certain foods affect blood sugar). Should I be concerned that my Stevia Liquid Extract has become cloudy?Stevia should not be cloudy and it is very rare for this to occur. This usually will occur due to some kind contamination:
- 1. Introduction of another interacting substance
- 2. Bacterial growth due to alcohol evaporation.

Stevia, the natural sweetener used in Europe for hundreds of years. I use to sweeten organic milk to make yogurt which my family loves. I use it to sweeten peach tea and coffee. I love this wonderful product and have recommended it to my sisters and my brothers wives. Such a healthy alternative to chemical sweeteners and sugar. Although I add a tablespoon of real sugar to my double batch yogurt culture to create a firmer custard yogurt.
-
I bought this thinking it was "pure" Stevia extract, but it is not. I now see in the fine print below that they claim it's 80% pure, but it's maybe half as sweet as KAL's Pure Stevia Extract, which is what I'll order next time.
-
I have used stevia for overt 15 years and when i found out that i could buy it in bulk, it makes it more affordable and tastes just as good.
-
We have tried other stevias but only NOW Stevia is the non-diluted full strength
real thing. Lucky Vitamin - thank you for the product availability and fast service.
-
Great product for a great price. We use this in our tea, coffee, cooking, and baking. No calories, organic, yet very good sweetener.
-
Save a ton of money by adding water to make your own liquid stevia, then use in coffee and tea.
-
This product is great! I use it in baking and tea. Just a little goes a long way without being bitter.
