Xylitol (pronounced zy-li-tol) is a remarkable, natural substance that occurs naturally in fibrous fruits and vegetables such as plums, strawberries, corncobs and mushrooms and is also found in some hardwood trees, including Birch. It is used as a natural sweetener and is renowned for its delicious, refreshing taste. It is used worldwide, mainly as a sweetener in chewing gums and pastilles, but its other applications include oral hygiene products, such as toothpaste, fluoride tablets and mouthwash. The pharmaceutical industry uses Xylitol as a sweetener in many of its products.

Perfect for those on weight management programs or for those looking to manage blood sugar levels, it has a low GI of just 7, making it a smart choice over high-calorie, high-carbohydrate sweeteners. There is no sugar, no artificial sweeteners, 40% fewer calories than sugar, no fat, no protein, no artificial flavours, no artificial colourings and no preservatives. Xylitol is metabolized independently of insulin, and following ingestion of Xylitol, the blood glucose and serum insulin responses are significantly lower than for glucose or sugar.

Xylitol has a long history and was first discovered simultaneously by chemists Fisher and Stahe in Germany and by Betrand in France in the 1890s. Later, it was discovered in its natural state in some plants and in the 1960s, it was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for special dietary purposes.

In 1983, the JECFA (a joint expert committee of WHO and FAO) announced that Xylitol was a safe food sweetener. This was shortly followed by the Finnish Dental Association giving Xylitol its first endorsement worldwide. Xylitol has since been approved for use in Australia by the Food Standards of Australia & New Zealand.

For more than 30 years, dental researchers have pointed to it as a key ingredient in helping to protect against tooth decay. Since the 1980s, it was endorsed by many other European countries’ dental associations, including Britain and Sweden. After a three-year campaign by school children in the 1990s, products containing Xylitol were excluded from confectionary taxation in Finland. In fact, the use of Xylitol in Finland is so prevalent that it is used in many Finnish childcare centres, with gum pellets chewed after each meal. Also, the Finnish government is thought to have saved millions of dollars by using it in its health programs.

Many other health benefits have be attributed to Xylitol, with a myriad of independent research reports available to read online and many natural health practitioners now recommending Xylitol to their clients.

Xylitol is very easy to use, as a spoonful is approximately equivalent in sweetness to one spoonful of sugar. It performs remarkably similar to sugar in cooking and baking and can be used in everything from homemade ice cream to sauces and chutneys.

It is a substance that occurs naturally in fibrous fruits and vegetables such as plums, strawberries, corncobs and mushrooms and is also found in some hardwood trees, including Birch. Unlike some other Xylitol products, which are made from felled birch trees, Nirvana Xylitol™ is made from non-GMO, non-allergenic corncob (core), an environmentally sustainable source. Our product is free of the chemicals found in artificial sweeteners and has a delicious, refreshing taste.

Children love the sweet taste of Nirvana Xylitol™, and it is safe for all family members. Xylitol is approved for use in Australia by the Food Authority Standard Australia & New Zealand and was certified as a safe sweetener for food by the World Health Organisation in 1983. Using Nirvana Xylitol™, your whole family could reduce their calorie intake while helping prevent tooth decay.

While it is completely safe for humans, just like chocolate, grapes or raisins, it is not intended to be ingested by our loving canine friends. Dogs metabolise some substances differently than humans; therefore if your dog consumes any product containing Xylitol, please consult your vet immediately.

For followers of weight management programs, low-calorie sweeteners can be a useful substitute, and we believe our all-natural Xylitol is the best on the market. Unlike sugar, Nirvana Xylitol™ is metabolised independently of insulin.

It is considered a low Glycaemic ingredient (with a GI of 7), meaning that following ingestion of Xylitol, the blood-glucose and serum-insulin responses are significantly lower than for glucose or sugar (with a GI of 65), with many users reporting a subsequent reduction in cravings for high-calorie foods.

Some health practitioners suggest it could assist in blood-sugar management and favour our product as, unlike some synthetic alternatives on the market, Nirvana Xylitol is 100% natural.
