I eat low carb and have cut out all processed sugars. I don't like to use fake sugars like sucralose because they have been known to CAUSE sugar cravings, not to mention it is loaded with chemicals. I would do coconut sugar but like regular sugar, it is still high in carbs and has no fiber to offset it. This one has 0 net carbs, meaning it has 1g carbs with 1g fiber so they cancel each other out. I only use 1-2 a day, depending on how strong my coffee is that day. Stevia is an acquired taste. I have used this granular form, their regular granular for (without the fiber and probiotics) and the drops and all 3 of them have a slight bitterness but not nearly as bad as others I have tried and I have yet to find one that is any better. I don't recommend their flavored options though, at least not the cinnamon. It was more like potpourri than actual cinnamon.This doesn't interest everyone but it interested me...I knew this company was a family company but the Balance box has the verse from Genesis 1:29 printed on the side under their company bio. I do not see this on the box of the regular or liquid ones. New packaging maybe? Pretty awesome since you don't see that very often. From the PDF about their business on their website:For years NOW Foods has called itself a “Christian Principled” business, which is a reflection of some family members and senior managers. The phrase “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” became part of NOW’s culture and continues as long as the spirit of our founder, my father Elwood, lives on. Though we’re far from perfect, and always will be, our agreed-upon ethics are something for me to beproud of. It’s good to work at a company where the people and products are part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. Read more

I forgot how much I like these. The Balance with Chromium and Inluin is hard to find, so thanks Amazon for having them here. Chromium and inulin work to regulate blood sugar and help with carb chravings and the taste of these is very good. I add them to sodastream water with some lime and it helps my soda cravings. I hope they don't cancel this Balance version, I may need to stock up. Read more

I've been using this Stevia for a couple of years since I worry about blood sugar levels. I like the fact that it contains insulin and chromium and that the stevia is organic. It has almost no aftertaste unlike some stevia products. However, when you first begin using any stevia there is an adjustment because the taste is just different from other sweeteners. I also use the Now Stevia liquid for iced tea. Read more

If you are looking for a natural sweetener but you don't like the aftertaste that comes with stevia, you will appreciate this one. Having found this one and one other form of stevia that is without the aftertaste has allowed me to cut back on sugar to a great degree. With the bad reports on artificial sweeteners as well as processed sugar drives many to look to a natural alternative and I find that this one works well. Read more

I really liked this one, and each packet lasts me two or three cups of tea. So happy to find a stevia that doesn't have erythritol or Maltedexterin in it. Also, the Inulin (FOS, a prebiotic) and chromium are excellent for diabetics. I'm not one, but I told my family about it, and they like it too. Read more

NOW has had been may favorite brand of Stevia (powder and liquid) for a long time because there is no bitter taste. I've also used Chromium for a number of years to cut my sweet cravings. So a blending of stevia and chromium together is a great combination. I like it. This is my second box and I'm sure it won't be my last. Read more

I have been using this product for over a year. I am very satisfied as is my cooking with it. I empty a pack or two into my ground flaxseed, mix it together then add the hot oatmeal, etc. I highly recommend this product. Price is right and delivery time perfect. Read more

Great taste. Read more
