Stevia is a naturally sweet herb native to South America used to sweeten and support blood sugar balance. Unlike refined sugar or artificial sweeteners, stevia leaf contains no calories or carbohydrates, yet delivers a clean, plant-based sweetness thanks to compounds called steviol glycosides.
In its whole-leaf form, Stevia has trace minerals and phytochemicals that may support metabolic health. Herbalists sometimes include Stevia in blends for balancing blood sugar, reducing sugar cravings, or as a gentle support for those with insulin resistance.
