Smart138 Monk Drop - 100% Monk Fruit Liquid Sweetener, Zero Blood Sugar, Zero Calories, No Additives, Waterless Monk Fruit Concentrate (350 Servings, 1.5 fl oz)

The teste is not good

Find it takes around 13-15 drops to taste it in bold coffee. Less than that you barely taste the sweetness. Says teaspoon of sugar = 1 drop. Likely need less for less bold flavoured drinks like mint tea

I learned the value of this product early in 2021. Here-to-for, sweetness of the product has been reliable although different foods and beverages will require you to adjust to your taste. As such, you will discover more product is required to achieve the desired sweetness. After a year using this Monk fruit sweetener I personally do not experience any after taste other than a comparable to regular sugar after taste. I do not experience any Blood sugar spikes what-so-ever. I drink a strong coffee that normally requires about 1/3 tsp for mild sweetness. Morning Oatmeal with diced red apple and cinnamon, chopped walnuts and pecans for protein and 5-6 drops of Monk fruit sweetener. I RECENTLY HAD TO PURCHASE THE 1.5 OZ SIZE BECAUSE AMAZON DOES NOT HAVE THE 8 OZ REFILL SIZE AVAILABLE IN A REASONABLE SUPPLY TIME. (20 -30 DAYS, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF SUPPLY ISSUE FROM CHINA WHERE MONK FRUIT IS ONLY GROWING SOURCE). THIS MOST RECENT SHIPMENT DEFINATELY IS NOT AS SWEET. MY NORMAL CUP OF COFFEE REQUIRES A FULL TEASPOON OF SWEETNER INSTEAD OF THE 1/3 TEASPOON. SO I NORMALLY GET 6 CUPS OF COFFEE PER OZ OF SWEETNER. THE MOST RECENT SHIPMENT ONLY YIELDS 4 1/2 CUPS MAKING THE SWEETNER NEARLY 50% MORE EXPENSIVE. SO EACH CUP OF COFFEE HAS $4.00 OF SWEETNER PER CUP VERSES $1.50 PER CUP NORMALLY. :( I HAVE NEVER QUIBLED OVER THE PRICE @ 1.50 PER CUP. I DON'T MIND PAYING THE PRICE FOR SAKE OF GOOD HEALTH. THAT SAID, THE LOWER SWEETNESS OF MOST RECENT SHIPMENT LEADS ME TO WONDER IF MANUFACTURER IS DILUTING THE PRODUCT. I HOPE THIS IS NOT THE CASE AS THE PRODUCT HAS BEEN RELIABLE UP TO THIS CURRENT ISSUE. I call this the safest and best product on the market simply because it has no added sugar alcohol or Erythritol that will cause blood sugar spikes. Erythritol is an extremely sweet additive often used in other Monk Fruit brands and frequently (read the ingredient labels) is used as a sugar substitute in many processed foods that are labeled "Lo or No sugar added". Some claimed Organic Monk Fruit powder sweeteners have Erythritol added to enhance the sweetness. Those additives will however spike Blood Sugar. That said, consumers should read the ingredient labels carefully. I have had diet controlled diabetes for 14 years. Simply put, I have never needed Insulin or other medications to control the Diabetes. When first diagnosed I had been consuming a pint of Ice Cream every evening and eating any processed foods including Candy bars without regard to the damage all those foods I enjoyed that were having a devastating effect on my health and longevity. I then realized my terrible unhealthy diet would shorten my life. I struggled mentally for about two weeks while stopping all sugar and foods that elevate Glucose. I was really fraught with a lifetime of ignorance regarding my terrible diet. That is when I had an Epiphany of mind as I realized only I could prolong my life to an expected old age closer to 100. I am now 85+, rarely nap, do 30 minutes of cardio exercise daily, Survived Brady Cardia and Atrial Fibrillation with an implanted Pacemaker in 2021. My Diet is Hi Protein, lo saturated fat, lo-Carbohydrates, Fresh Organic fruits and vegetables daily, all for Glucose control. I also take up to 60 Vitamins and Minerals daily. Although this may seem like a horrible diet, the reality is how long do we expect to survive. I really have not encountered any unreasonable change of taste in the food I consume. It has been more a process of elimination of hi fat, hi sugar processed foods that we all know eventually lead to poor health. So can we conquer mentally the Lifestyle changes necessary for longevity? The proof for me personally has been that I have never needed to monitor my Glucose levels after the first three months of 3 X daily sticks for blood sample. I recently had to fast for an Esophagus surgery. My blood sugar after three days of starvation was 58. Medical staff at hospital was in a panic thinking I was in Hypoglycemic shock. Frankly I knew better simply because Diabetes is a huge money making industry and Allopathic medicine follows the industry directives. I felt fine but medical staff in their panic stood by while they pushed me to quickly drink three 8 oz glasses of hi sugar orange juice while they stuck my fingers for glucose blood. It took 45 minutes for my Blood Sugar to rise to 120. THE DIET AND LIFESTYLE WORKS FOLKS... The first year was a daily mental challenge. A close younger family member was diagnosed about the same time and that person has never been able to overcome the mental challenge necessary in following the diet that reverses type II diabetes. That person within 6 months was prescribed oral medication and within 3 months was doing insulin several times daily for Glucose control. He spent 3 months in hospital with Covid in 2021 and is now living with Oxygen about 6 hours daily. Conversely, I have managed to remain Covid free in spite of living in the same house with 4 family members all who had Covid. They did not quarantine and all since are now working to improve their health and diet. Good health to all, Bro@home

Give it a try, you won't regret it. Not only is this a great sweetener it helps regulate your blood sugar. I add to water then drank it before and after my indulgence with no sugar spike. Tastes great.

The bottle is well constructed, and the lid and eyedropper end are top notch. It is incredibly difficult to add more than you'd want to your food or drinks. Ingredients appear to be exactly as described, 100% Monk fruit extract. Obviously, taste will vary from person to person, but I found this to be an ideal sugar substitute for coffee. Many companies make these sort of bottles full squirt bottles, trying to make you waste some of your product to buy more faster, even though this is the sort of thing you need to measure in drops. This company, however, prioritized the user experience. I will almost certainly purchase this product again in the future. EDIT: I have seem some people claiming there are sugar alcohols in this... there aren't. I know because sugar alcohols make me incredibly, incredibly ill, and this has not done that in the slightest. I will also add, I got the 1.5 fl oz bottle, I do not know if the eyedropper type experience is present for the larger bottle (though based on the pictures I doubt it.)
