MogrosideV

Mogroside V is a natural sweetener derived from monk fruit (*Siraitia grosvenorii*), a plant native to Southeast Asia. Unlike refined sugars or artificial sweeteners, Mogroside V offers a zero-calorie sweetness while also providing antioxidant properties. Research suggests that this compound may help neutralize free radicals, supporting overall cellular health. With its intense sweetness (up to 250 times sweeter than sucrose), only small amounts are needed, making it a popular choice for low-calorie diets and sugar-free products. It’s also heat-stable, suitable for baking and beverages. While Mogroside V is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory bodies like the FDA, it’s important to consume it as part of a balanced diet. Always consult a healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes.
