HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sure Stevia Organic Extract by KAL

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Sure Stevia Organic Extract contains one active ingredient: stevia leaf extract. This is a concentrated form of the compound extracted from stevia leaves, used as a sweetening agent.

The product contains no inactive ingredients or fillers — it's the extract on its own.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Stevia's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: zero-calorie sweetener.
  • We looked for evidence on: Diabetes, Obesity, Weight management, Blood sugar control.
  • The closest evidence on file: Stevia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diabetes (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Stevia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity.

The evidence for stevia to help with diabetes, high blood pressure, or weight loss is insufficient. We hold data showing that a single 1,000 mg dose of stevia extract reduced blood sugar levels after meals in some people with type 2 diabetes, and that stevia extract and its compounds might lower blood pressure in some patients.

However, other research contradicts those findings, and there isn't enough reliable evidence overall to say whether it works for any of these conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Stevia

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Stevia leaf extract appears to be well tolerated by most people. A small number of trial participants experienced minor side effects — mainly stomach bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and numbness — but most of these resolved after the first week of use.

Allergic reactions are rare but possible. The safety data we hold notes that purified stevia in food amounts is generally recognized as safe, but whole-leaf stevia or high-dose supplement forms have not been well studied, so we'd recommend caution if you're taking larger doses.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Stevia

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Stevia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 259 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check your exact medications with the tool on this page, especially if you take lithium, blood pressure-lowering drugs, or diabetes medications. Lithium carries the most serious risk — stevia might increase its levels in your blood.

Blood pressure and diabetes drugs also interact, though at lower severity.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Stevia leaf extract is generally well tolerated, but if you take lithium, blood pressure medications, or diabetes medications, you'll want to check with your pharmacist first. The evidence for it to improve blood sugar control or blood pressure isn't strong enough yet.

Talk to your pharmacist before you start, especially if you're on any regular medications.

Stevia Leaf Extract3 drug types · 259 drugs

Lithium

Theoretically, stevia might decrease clearance and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stevia extracts might have diuretic activity. Theoretically, increased reabsorption of lithium along with sodium might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, stevia might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when combined with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that taking a single dose of stevia extract 1000 mg reduces postprandial blood glucose levels when taken with a meal. However, other clinical research in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes suggests that taking stevioside 250 mg three times daily does not significantly affect blood glucose levels or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) after three months of treatment.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining stevia or stevia constituents with antihypertensive agents might increase the risk of hypotension.
Stevia extract and stevioside might lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. However, other clinical research suggests that stevioside does not significantly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

What is stevia leaf extract, and what is it used for?

Will stevia make my blood sugar drop too much if I'm on diabetes medication?

Most common ones are mild: bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and numbness. Most of these seem to go away after the first week. Allergic reactions are rare but can happen.
