HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sweet 'n Natural Pure Stevia by Superior Source

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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.

This product is pure stevia leaf extract — a single active ingredient used as a zero-calorie sweetener. Stevia comes from the stevia plant and is extracted and concentrated into powder form.

There are no other active ingredients, and no inactive fillers or binders.

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 isn't established in our data for stevia's use in diabetes, high blood pressure, or weight loss. While some early research suggests stevia extract might lower blood sugar or blood pressure in certain patients, other studies don't show the same effect, and we don't have enough reliable evidence to call it effective 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.

Purified stevia in the amounts used in food is generally well tolerated and recognized as safe. At higher supplement doses — like the amount in this product — safety data is limited, so use caution.

Minor side effects like bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle aches, nausea, and numbness can occur and usually go away after the first week. Serious allergic reactions are rare.

If you're pregnant or nursing, there isn't enough data on file about stevia supplement safety to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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 prescriptions if you take lithium (Moderate risk of increased levels), blood pressure medications (Minor risk of dropping too low), or diabetes drugs (Minor risk of low blood sugar). These are the main medication types that stevia interacts with.

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.

If you use stevia as a sweetener and don't take lithium or blood pressure medications, this product is generally well tolerated. If you take lithium, blood pressure drugs, or diabetes medications, check your specific prescriptions with the tool below before starting — the interactions can be real.

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.
