Technical Data
Cal-O-Sweet™ is a Proprietary Sweetener Formula:
Made in the USA, with FDA approved ingredients, specifically formulated for food and beverage applications. This is the ONLY sweetener formula ANYWHERE that offers NO detectable and/or typical artificial or bitter sweetener aftertaste.
Erythritol - Naturally derived from Cane Sugar
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that has been used as a food additive since the early 1800’s. Being 70% as sweet as pure cane sugar and remaining unrefined, Erythritol creates an advantage over pure cane sugar as it reduces the risks to your health. It is an all-natural, zero calorie refined sugar alternative that looks, feels, bakes and tastes just like sugar! Erythritol naturally occurs in many fruits and fermented foods and wines. It's made by mixing sugar with water and fermenting it with a natural culture. While its name may seem terribly scientific, erythritol is found in nature at low levels in grapes, melons and pears and can be found at higher levels in fermented products like wine. Each day, it is estimated that we consume somewhere between 30 and 100 mg of naturally occurring erythritol in our regular diets.
It's safe for all types of diabetics, doesn't affect insulin levels, helps prevent tooth decay, supports the immune system and it's heat stable for use in cooking. Erythritol does not cause undesired gastrointestinal effects when consumed in reasonable quantities. Compared to the other sweeteners classified as sugar alcohols, erythritol has the highest digestive tolerance.

Xylitol – Natural Birch Tree Sugar
The natural extract from birch trees found in the Xylitol is a natural sweetener in itself. This adds to the vibrant flavor without leaving a bitter taste like some alternatives do. It is a five-carbon sugar that has a number of unique properties in addition to being a low calorie sugar substitute (40% fewer calories than an equivalent amount of table sugar [sucrose]). Xylitol does not cause significant changes in blood glucose or insulin, making it not only safe for diabetics and those trying to lose weight, but also a desirable sweetener for those who understand the importance of maintaining low levels of glucose and insulin, as an anti-aging regimen.
Among its other known health benefits, regular Xylitol consumption results in fewer cavities, improved periodontal (gum) health, and reduction in nasal, sinus and oropharyngeal infections. Xylitol also is effective against H. pylori, the microorganism implicated in periodontal disease, bad breath, gastric and duodenal ulcers, and even stomach cancer. It now appears that another highly significant effect can be attributed to Xylitol.
In studies in Finland in 1994, Xylitol was shown to be able to maintain bone density in rats which had their ovaries surgically removed. Without ovaries, estrogen levels in these rats plummeted — and so did the bone density in the rats which were not given Xylitol. However, in ovariectomized rats which had been given Xylitol, bone density actually increased. Therefore, Xylitol is believed to be extremely beneficial in treating humans for the prevention of bone loss and/or osteoporosis.

Digestion Resistant Dextrin – Soluble Corn Fiber
Both natural and soluble, Digestion Resistant Dextrin Fiber provides an adequate amount of fiber to your body which helps the healthy digestion and break down of the food you ingest on a daily basis. More commonly known as soluble corn fiber, Digestion Resistant Dextrin also contains Natural Nutriose Soluble Pre-Biotic Fiber Powder. Studies have shown that Digestion Resistant Dextrin is able to provide a beneficial effect on colonic ecology while preserving digestive comfort.
Being that this is a grit-free, non-thickening powder, it can safely be used in baking as well as in combination with other vitamins and supplements which target the digestive tract and cardio health. Individuals lacking adequate daily fiber intake have shown excellent success when using Digestion Resistant Dextrin such as softer and more consistent bowel movements, improved colon health and in women, this product has even helped optimize the reproductive system as well.
Unlike other powdered fiber supplements, it dissolves completely in water and is easily added to common food and beverages. Digestion Resistant Dextrin is a benefiber that is commonly used as a bulk, raw material which can accommodate various home uses or for commercial applications. Since it is natural and organic, it provides the body with pre-biotic digestion resistant soluble fiber powder otherwise lacking from food sources.
It is FDA approved and GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) rated.
Digestion Resistant Maltodextrin – Soluble Corn Fiber
Digestion resistant Maltodextrin has been commonly used by both consumers and manufacturers to maintain a healthy digestive tract. It is a soluble dietary fiber which is tasteless and odorless – making it a preferred additive to any food or beverage. Since it is grit-free, Digestion Resistant Maltodextrin does not leave behind a film or residue and is completely safe for both adults and children. Studies have shown that this form of soluble corn fiber promotes rapid dispersion into the body, providing instant results and high absorption rates.
Digestion Resistant Maltodextrin is freeze and thaw stable, which means that it is able to be preserved without losing potency or nutritional value easily. Since it contains an extremely low viscosity rate, medical professionals recommend this fiber source to those who lack nutritional intake from daily food sources. It is also water binding which allows consumers to ingest with breakfast shakes, juice or plain water sources. It is also safe to combine with other supplements for optimal results and multi-use. Digestion Resistant Maltodextrin provides a low hygroscopicity to improve body function, skin complexion and texture.

Agave Inulin – Soluble Fiber
Inulin is a natural dietary fiber found in plants, which is also known as a fructan. Typically, the majority of plant species contain various amounts of inulin, with the Agave plant and Chicory root being the most commercially viable. The main source of inulin that is currently used today derives from the chicory root, containing approximately 15% inulin. However, the agave plant can contain up to 38% inulin. Organic Agave Inulin is extracted from the Tequilana Weber Agave plant. The end result of the inulin refining process yields a fine highly soluble powder with a neutral, clean, mildly sweet flavor.
Agave Inulin provides the body with natural remedies and dietary fibers to promote healthy weight loss and reduce high blood pressure. Studies have shown that it is very soluble in cold water and more commonly used in combination with cold beverages and shake supplements. This is because it contains higher amounts of calcium and minerals than other inulin supplements and is a prebiotic – adding to the beneficial nutrition. Since Agave Inulin ferment in the colon area of the body, it provides nutrition directly to the good bacteria present in the colon to increase digestive health.

Rebauddioside A - Reb A Stevia
Stevia is 100% natural and is derived from the leaf of a plant most commonly found in South America. It has zero calories and provides many healthful benefits. On December of 2008 the FDA declared stevia as safe for use in foods and beverages. The FDA approved stevia at a minimum of 95% Rebaudioside A (Reb A), which is the sweetest compound of the plant. There are seven compounds of the stevia plant. Reb A is the sweetest and purest part of the plant and is the least bitter of the other compounds therein. Reb A Stevia also derives from a natural plant source, the stevia plant.
Stevia leaves have been known to be used in medicines such as antibiotics, muscle relaxers and certain pain relievers as well. Reb A Stevia has been known to reduce the amount of uric acid levels in the body to provide a stable functionality of the digestive system and energy levels. Since it promotes healthy heart health, Reb A Stevia has been proven to increase and strengthen blood flow to the heart by strengthening the muscle contractions of the aorta. Although Reb A Stevia contains sweeteners, it is completely safe for diabetics.

Xanthan Gum
Xanthan Gum Transparent Insoluble Fiber (12 oz) container manufactured by Prescribed for Life is a natural sugar that comes from corn. This substance is commonly used in foods such as dairy products and even in some salad dressings such as Cesar and Creamy Italian, as an agent used to thicken and maintain flavor. This insoluble fiber powder provides a wealth of health benefits when used in foods since it also is an active ingredient in the preservation of food both cooked and stored. When used to preserve frozen foods, Xanthan Gum Transparent Insoluble Fiber powder can prolong the life of frozen vegetables and uncooked meats up to 25% longer than normal.
Xanthan Gum added for other purposes to items such as ice cream to prevent or lower the amount of ice crystals that form on the product. Many grocery stores and restaurants also use this substance to preserve their freezers from developing these same ice crystals which can give food an unpleasant freezer burn taste. Xanathan Gum Transparent Insoluble Fiber is conveniently packaged in a twelve ounce container and can also be used as a substitute for wheat gluten in gluten free products like pasta, breads and cookies. In addition to the health nutritional value that this substance provides, it is also used in the oil industry as an additive for drilling fluid to increase its efficiency during excavations.
