Canderel Stevia 100’s

Stevia, a natural sweetener, derives its sweetness from steviol glycosides, which activate taste receptors, specifically those that perceive sweetness, on the tongue. Sucralose, a synthetic sweetener, is structurally similar to sugar but with modifications that enhance sweetness. It binds to the sweet taste receptors, creating a sweet sensation without providing calories. Lactose tablets, used as a dietary supplement or for lactose intolerance management, contain the sugar lactose, which is broken down into glucose and galactose by the enzyme lactase in the small intestine, facilitating lactose digestion and absorption.

The following are the uses of Stevia, Sucralose, Lactose Tablet:

• Used for sweetening beverages and foods without adding calories, especially for those managing their weight or blood sugar.
• Used as a sugar alternative in baking and cooking, providing a zero-calorie sweetness.
• Ideal for individuals with diabetes or blood sugar sensitivity as a sugar substitute.
• Used in various processed food products as a low-calorie sweetener.
• Serves as a dietary supplement for aiding digestion and potentially preventing digestive discomfort caused by lactose intolerance.
• Can be used to relieve lactose intolerance symptoms like bloating, gas, and diarrhea after consuming dairy products.

In the case of an overdose of Stevia, Sucralose, or Lactose Tablets, it is important to remain calm and assess the situation. While these substances are generally recognized as safe, consuming excessive amounts may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal pain. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek medical advice for further evaluation and guidance. Promptly consulting a healthcare professional can ensure appropriate care and management of any potential side effects.

In the case of a missed dose of Stevia, it is generally considered safe to take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. For Sucralose, if a dose is missed, it is typically recommended to resume the regular dosing schedule without doubling the dose. If a dose of Lactose Tablet is missed, it is advised to take it as soon as possible, but if it is close to the time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular dosing schedule. Always consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or questions about missed doses.

Following are the conditions or circumstances when Stevia, Sucralose, and Lactose Tablet should be avoided:

• Not suitable for individuals with a sensitivity or allergy to stevia or related plants in the Asteraceae/Compositae family.
• Should be used with caution in pregnant or breastfeeding women, and only after consulting a healthcare professional.
• Not recommended for use in individuals with a rare genetic condition called hereditary fructose intolerance.
• Avoid using in individuals with a known allergy or sensitivity to sucralose or any of its components.
• Not suitable for those with a rare genetic condition called phenylketonuria (PKU) as some sucralose products may contain phenylalanine.
• Contraindicated in individuals with lactose intolerance or galactosemia, as they lack the enzyme needed to digest lactose.
• Not recommended for those with a known allergy or sensitivity to lactose or milk proteins.
• Should not be used to treat lactose intolerance symptoms in cases of severe lactose intolerance or milk protein allergy.
• Not suitable for individuals with gastrointestinal conditions that impair digestion or absorption, such as gastrointestinal infections or short bowel syndrome.

The side effects of Stevia, Sucralose, and Lactose Tablet may include:

• Stomach discomfort and digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
• In some individuals, stevia may cause nausea or a feeling of fullness.
• Sucralose may lead to skin rashes, itching, or hives in rare cases.
• Headaches and migraines have been reported with the use of these sweeteners.
• There is a possibility of allergic reactions, especially with lactose, resulting in symptoms like itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
• Stevia and sucralose might cause changes in gut bacteria, potentially leading to digestive imbalances.
• Long-term use of lactose tablets may result in tooth decay if oral hygiene is not maintained.
• In rare cases, stevia and sucralose may affect blood sugar levels, especially in individuals with diabetes.

Following are the precautions and warnings for Stevia, Sucralose, and Lactose Tablets:

• Stevia is generally considered safe, but in rare cases, it may cause allergic reactions or gastrointestinal issues. Avoid if you have a known allergy to the stevia plant.
• Sucralose is stable when exposed to heat, even during baking or cooking, but excessive heat can alter its taste. Monitor blood sugar levels if you have diabetes.
• Lactose tablets should be used with caution in individuals with lactose intolerance or galactose blood disorders. Avoid if you have a known allergy to lactose.
• These sweeteners may interact with certain medications; consult your healthcare provider if you are on any medication.
• Not recommended for infants, especially those under 12 months of age.
• Individuals with phenylketonuria should be aware that some sucralose products may contain phenylalanine.
• If you have any underlying health conditions, consult a healthcare professional before regular use.

Following are the drug interactions for Stevia, Sucralose, and Lactose Tablet:

• Stevia may interact with diabetes medications, as it can affect blood sugar levels, potentially leading to hypoglycemia or altered medication effects.
• Sucralose may impact the absorption of certain medications, particularly those requiring specific pH levels for absorption, such as some antibiotics.
• Lactose Tablet may temporarily decrease the absorption of certain medications when taken concurrently, such as specific antibiotics and antifungals.
• Medications that slow digestion, such as certain antidiarrheals, may delay the effects of Lactose Tablet.
• Lactose Tablet may compete for enzyme binding with other disaccharides, affecting their breakdown and absorption.
• Sucralose may interact with medications that rely on gut bacteria for activation, potentially altering their effectiveness.
• Stevia’s potential impact on blood pressure should be considered when using antihypertensive medications.

Following are the food interactions for Stevia, Sucralose, and Lactose Tablet:

• Stevia is generally considered safe and has no known significant food interactions. It is derived from the Stevia rebaudiana plant and is much sweeter than sugar, so a little goes a long way.
• Sucralose (brand name Splenda) is a non-caloric sweetener that is generally stable under normal cooking and baking conditions. It is made from sugar but is not metabolized by the body in the same way, so it has no impact on blood sugar levels.
• Dairy products, When taking Lactose Tablets, it is best to avoid consuming large amounts of dairy products, especially milk, as they contain lactose, which may cause digestive discomfort if not digested properly.
• Fermented foods, Some fermented foods like yogurt and cheese naturally contain bacteria that help break down lactose, making them easier to digest for those with lactose intolerance.
• Lactose-free alternatives, Opting for lactose-free milk, cheese, and other dairy products can be a suitable option when taking Lactose Tablets to avoid any potential gastrointestinal issues.
• Probiotics, Consuming foods rich in probiotics, such as kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi, may help improve lactose digestion and reduce symptoms of lactose intolerance.
• Prebiotics, Foods high in prebiotics, like onions, garlic, and asparagus, can support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, potentially aiding in lactose digestion.
• Timing of meals, Taking Lactose Tablets with meals can help distribute the enzyme lactase more evenly, assisting in the digestion of lactose-containing foods.

Storage and disposal of Stevia, Sucralose, and Lactose Tablets require proper attention to ensure safety and maintain product integrity.
