SweeGen

According to the World Health Organization, in 2016, worldwide 1.9 billion adults were overweight and 650 million adults were obese. The WHO also points out that the number of people with diabetes rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. According to the American Diabetes Association, about 193,000 Americans under age 20 are estimated to have diagnosed diabetes, while about one in three American kids and teens is overweight or obese (American Heart Association). With these sobering facts in mind, just like you, consumers in the US, Europe and many other countries around the world are looking for a better alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners. The number of overweight and obese people is increasing rapidly and diabetes is becoming a widespread disease. The growing concern regarding health risks associated with sugar and artificial sweeteners is now forcing consumers to reconsider their choices when it comes to sweetened foods and beverages. SweeGen, a California based company, specializes in nature-based sweeteners. Our Bestevia® stevia leaf sweeteners are non-caloric with delicious sweet taste and without the characteristic aftertaste of the stevia extracts of the past. Bestevia® makes it possible to reduce sugar at much higher concentrations than before without sacrificing taste which is what the health-conscious consumer wants, less sugar, less calories and great taste. After many years of research and development our innovative team has come up with a nature-derived production process that combines nature with modern fermentation, supports farmers and at the same time is sustainable. Our products have been confirmed safe for use in food products by the FDA (Generally Recognized as Safe) and certified as Non-GMO and can be used in different food and beverage products. This enables you to reduce the amount of sugar you ingest in your favorite foods and beverages.
