Is Zsweet ® all natural easily digestable?
Digestive tolerance under most severe conditions:
Maximun single bolus dose not causing laxation (female adults).
Consumed as a liquid or jelly, on an empty stomach, within 10 minutes.
Clinical studies show that erythritol has a digestive tolerance which is:
- 3 to 4 times better compared to sorbitol and mannitol
- 2 to 3 times better compared to xylitol, lactitol, maltitol and isomalt
Under normal conditions of use, the digestive tolerance is far greater:
- spread over the day
-
variety of food products
- adaptation
Erythritol does not cause undesired gastrointestinal effects under its intended conditions of use:
- based on clinical studies in which erythritol was administered with food and beverage at daily doses up to 1 g/kg bw, a laxation threshold cannot be defined
High digestive tolerance: Erythritol is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine due to its small molecular size and structure. Several clinical studies conducted in Europe and Japan have shown that more than 90% of ingested erythritol is absorbed and excreted unchanged in urine within a 24-hour period. This digestive pathway allows less than 5% of ingested erythritol to reach the large intestine and be fermented into volatile fatty acids or metabolized into carbon dioxide. As a result, foods containing substancial amounts of erythritol are very unlikely to cause gaseous and laxation side effects. A recent clinical study concluded daily consumption of 1 gram per kilogram body weight is well tolerated by adults as compared to sucrose containing foods.
