Stevia has been used as a completely natural product in South America for thousands of years, and used as a trade product in Asia and Europe for centuries. Its appearance in North America has been delayed because of the interests of the sugar, pharmaceutial and chemical companies.

Production problems in North America were another factor due to climate. Researcher 42 a researcher in chemistry and biology or the stevia plant has largely solved these problems. The problems that have arisen are being solved at our facilities in Lavington BC with a deep and full commitment to ongoing research.

While stevia in the green powdered form and extracts may be sold in North America as a food supplement and herbal dietary supplement, it must be promoted for its bioflavonoid properties with no mention as a sweetener of sugar or artificial sweetener replacement. While the medicinal properties are being researched at this time no health benefits can be claimed.
