Jarrow Formulas Xyli Pure Xylitol 16 oz (454 g)

Comments about Jarrow Formulas Xyli Pure Xylitol, 1 lb:

I started using Xylitol on the advice of a health food store owner, to use instead of Splenda or other artificial sweeteners that are so bad for you. I was familiar with it because when my son was a child the dentist recommended him chewing Orbit gum, which contains Xylitol, because it helps prevent tooth decay. I use this product in my coffee or tea. It dissolves easily, doesn't have a strong, overpowering flavor like Stevia does. It is a bit pricey, but the Drugstore.com price is cheaper than other places, including several health food stores. I like that it is in powder form, rather than packets, because then you can use as much as you want. I usually use two tsp in a large cup of tea or coffee. I have heard that too much can upset your stomach, but I have never had this problem.

I started using this product about 3 years ago on the advice of the nutrionist at our local health food store. I wanted something to put in my coffee besides sugar (too many calories) but wanted to stay away from aspartame, etc that is in Equal, Splenda, etc and that are so bad for you. This product doesn't taste bitter like Stevia does. It is a bit pricey, but I have found the drugstore.com price is much cheaper than in the health food store. I have read that it sometimes gives people an upset stomach, but I haven't had any problems with it and I have a sensitive stomach. Also, it is good for your teeth--it is what is in Orbit gum and my son's dentist recommended that he chew it to help prevent cavities.

It has a sweet, sugary taste and is not bitter.

I also bought this after reading Dr. Ellie's book. Xylitol really works to harden and restore teeth- and while nothing will change the state of your oral health overnight, Xylitol does begin to work fast. I used to think the sensation I'd get after chewing dental gums (the teeth clack a little bit more and the surface of the teeth feel different)was due to my teeth simply being cleaner, but I realized after using this product that much of it was actually the Xylitol in those products. No chewing is necessary with this product- put it in a drink (that is not too bad for the teeth, maybe even water) and swish it around a bit. It sounds crazy, but I can actually feel the difference- the tooth surfaces actually feel a little bit harder, and the teeth clack just a bit more when you bite. I can see this helping to harden up any soft spots and prevent them from becoming cavities, especially if incorporated into a good overall routine.

I bought this to use as part of Dr. Ellie's "Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye" regime to have xylitol throughout the day. I've never used xylitol before, so it took a little adjustment. I normally use stevia or Truvia to sweeten things. So far I've used it to sweeten natural lemonade and other drinks and works fine. There is no aftertaste at all, it sweetens nicely, and it's nice to have another healthy alternative to sugar.
I will buy it again when I run out.

Low carb love. Pure sweetness with no chemical or funky aftertaste. I've tried a good array of different sugar alcohols and find Jarrow Formula's Xyli Pure Powder is the winner. Understand some people find sugar alcohols in general cause stomach upset so I started out slow with small amounts and never had any issues.

The powder formula is a big plus too. It instantly dissolves in cold liquids unlike crystal formulas. Works great in low carb ice cream base (recipe: 3 cups cream/almond milk, 1/3 cup Xyli Pure, 1 tbsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp salt).

Sugar alcohols are very pricey compared to regular sugar but the cost is well worth it when you offset the damage sugar can do to your body.

And lastly, it's important to remember:

>>>>> DO NOT GIVE THIS PRODUCT TO DOGS <<<<<

It's highly toxic for them!
