What is Stevia Extract?
Derived from the leaves of the Asteraceae herb family, Stevia is a premier natural sweetener and medical auxiliary agent. Known for its pure white appearance and clean, sweet profile, Stevia offers a stable, high-solubility solution for a wide range of applications.
As a perfect alternative to sucrose, Stevia extract provides the familiar taste consumers love without the caloric burden, earning its reputation as the "Third Source of Sweetener" globally.
Why Choose Stevia Extract Instead of Sugar?
High Potency, Low Calorie: Stevia is roughly 200-450 times sweeter than cane sugar, yet contains only 1/300th of the calories.
Superior Stability: It is highly soluble in both water and alcohol, heat-stable and resistant to molding, making it ideal for diverse manufacturing environments.
Clean Label Appeal: With no peculiar aftertaste or odors, it maintains the integrity of your original formula's flavor profile.
A Nutritional Powerhouse
Beyond its sweetening power, Stevia leaf extract is rich in vital nutrients. It contains 14 essential amino acids and over 10 trace elements, including: Zinc, Iron, Selenium, Chromium, Manganese, and more.
Extensive research confirms that Stevia glycosides are non-toxic and carry no carcinogenic risks. Because it does not impact blood sugar or promote tooth decay, GEM Stevia is an ideal choice for: Weight Management & Obesity Support; Diabetic-Friendly Formulations; Hypertension & Heart Health Diets; Dental Health (Non-cariogenic).

Different Specifications of GEM Stevia
We offer a comprehensive range of Stevia extracts, meticulously refined to meet diverse formulation needs from cost-effective sweeteners to premium, sugar-like taste profiles.
1. Steviol Glycosides Series (SG)
The Industry Standard
Our SG 90% is our most versatile and widely used specification. Available as a white or light-yellow powder/granule, it provides a reliable, lasting sweetness with a signature cool finish.
2. Stevioside Series (STV)
High-Potency Sweetness
Positioned just below the RA series in flavor profile, STV 90% offers a powerful sweetness approximately 270 times that of sucrose, making it an efficient choice for high-volume production.
3. Rebaudioside-A Series (RA)
The Peak of Extraction Technology
- RA 98%: Produced to meet stringent FDA standards, this specification delivers a fresh, lasting sweetness roughly 450 times that of sucrose.
- RA 99%: Our core RA product. By using advanced extraction technology to minimize Rebaudioside C (RC), we have achieved a flavor profile that is nearly indistinguishable from cane sugar. It is the premier choice for top-grade pharmaceuticals and gourmet food products.
4. Rebaudioside-D & M Series (RD & RM)
The Next Generation of Taste
- Reb-D: A rare and premium glycoside. Because of its low natural concentration in the leaf, Reb-D is reserved for high-end formulations where a superior, clean sweet taste is required.
- Reb-M: The result of extensive research and development, Reb-M offers an even more refined taste than Reb-D. It is rapidly becoming the gold standard for brands seeking the ultimate sugar-free experience.
5. Rebaudioside-B Series (RB)
The Flavor Harmonizer
While lower in sheer sweetness, Reb-B plays a critical role in complex formulas. It acts as a natural debittering agent, smoothing out the flavor profile and adding a pleasant, subtle aroma to finished products.
