Remarkable for its ability to be consumed by diabetics, with a glycemic index less than 3%, Navarest offers a combination formulation (isomalt, cyclamate, and saccharin) that besides being very palatable, does not alter the original flavour of food.
A dose has a sweetening power equivalent to 10 g. of sugar and so only 1.3 calories, a 325% less than sugar. It is likely the lower-calorie sweetener of the market.
