HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sure Stevia Plus Monk Fruit 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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Sure Stevia Plus Monk Fruit contains two active sweetening ingredients: stevia leaf extract and monk fruit juice concentrate. Stevia is a plant-derived sweetener that's been used in foods and supplements; monk fruit is another natural sweetener source.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — maltodextrin, inulin, and calcium silicate — which are fillers and binders used to give the powder its texture and shelf stability.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Stevia product and its label doesn't state a use — see Stevia's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for stevia's effectiveness is mixed and limited. For blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes, preliminary research suggests a single dose of stevia extract 1000 mg may lower blood glucose levels after meals, but other studies haven't confirmed this.

For blood pressure, high blood pressure, and weight loss, the data we hold rates stevia as having insufficient reliable evidence — meaning the research isn't strong enough yet to say whether it works. We hold no effectiveness data for monk fruit juice concentrate.

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.

Purified stevia in typical food amounts is generally recognized as safe. However, whole-leaf stevia or higher-dose supplements are not well studied, so use caution with this product — we'd treat it as a higher-dose supplement form.

Stevia and its compounds are generally well tolerated when taken by mouth; most people don't have side effects, and any that do appear usually fade within the first week. The most common minor effects are abdominal bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle aches, nausea, and numbness.

Allergic reactions are rare but have been reported. We have no pregnancy or lactation safety data on file for either ingredient in this product — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.

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.

Before you take this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on lithium (used for mood disorders) — stevia may raise its levels in your blood. Also confirm if you take blood pressure medications or diabetes drugs; stevia can theoretically make both work stronger.

We could not check monk fruit juice concentrate for interactions with any medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Sure Stevia Plus Monk Fruit may be worth considering if you're looking for a plant-based sweetener, but you'll want to be especially careful if you take lithium, blood pressure medications, or diabetes drugs — all can potentially interact with the stevia in this product. Before you start using it, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific medications and whether this product is right for you.

Formula

KAL Stevia + Monk Fruit is a pleasant tasting blend of both ingredietns.

Monk fruit contains Mogroside V, an active ingredient which is 300x sweeter than cane sugar and low in calories

What is Stevia? Stevia extract is derived from the leaves of a small shrub of the chrysanthemum family called stevia. It grows wild in Paraguay and Brazil and is cultivated in Japan and China. Stevia extract contains steviosides, a substance that makes it unique among over 300 species of stevia plants. The extract is calorie-free and should not affect blood glucose levels in most individuals. Unlike the whole herb, the extract does not have a pronounced aftertaste. Monk Fruit, also known as Luo Han, comes from the plant Momordica grosvenori. It contains an active ingredient called Mogroside V that is intensely sweet. Monk fruit is 300 times sweeter than common table sugar or sucrose. It is low calorie and low glycemic, and should not affect blood sugar levels in most individuals.

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.

Sure Stevia Plus Monk Fruit by KAL: Common Questions

Does Sure Stevia Plus Monk Fruit by KAL interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sure Stevia Plus Monk Fruit has a known interaction with 259 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sure Stevia Plus Monk Fruit contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does stevia actually lower blood sugar?
Some early research suggests it might help — one study found a 1000 mg dose of stevia extract lowered blood glucose levels after meals in people with type 2 diabetes. But other studies haven't seen the same effect, so the evidence isn't reliable enough to say for certain. If you have diabetes, check with your doctor before adding this to your routine.
Will this product help me lose weight?
We don't have strong evidence to support that claim. The data we hold rates stevia's effectiveness for weight loss as insufficient — meaning research hasn't proven it works.
What side effects might I have?
Most people tolerate stevia well. If side effects do happen — like bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle aches, or nausea — they usually go away within the first week. Allergic reactions are rare but possible.
Is this safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for either stevia or monk fruit in pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant — they can give you personalized advice.
Why should I worry about lithium?
Stevia may slow your body's ability to clear lithium from your blood, which could raise its levels too high and cause problems. If you take lithium for a mood disorder, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.
