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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This powder contains one active ingredient: stevia leaf extract, a sweetener derived from the stevia plant. Stevia is a zero-calorie alternative to sugar.
There are no other inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for stevia's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. It has been studied for blood sugar control, blood pressure, and weight management, but the research is too preliminary or inconsistent to make a reliable claim about whether it works for any of those purposes.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Purified stevia sweeteners at typical food amounts are generally well tolerated. The most common minor side effects — bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and numbness — tend to resolve within the first week.
Allergic reactions are rare. However, stevia in supplement doses hasn't been studied as thoroughly as food-grade amounts, so caution is warranted at higher intakes.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should talk with their doctor or pharmacist before using this product, as safety data for those situations isn't on file.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check before taking this product if you use lithium (a moderate interaction concern), blood pressure medication, or diabetes medication. No interactions are documented for the inactive ingredients we could check.
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 don't take lithium, blood pressure medication, or diabetes medication, this stevia powder is generally well tolerated as a sugar substitute. If you do take any of those medications — especially lithium — check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Most people tolerate stevia without side effects, though some may experience temporary bloating or headache.

Sweet 'n Natural Pure Stevia by Superior Source Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Sweet 'n Natural Pure Stevia by Superior Source contains stevia leaf extract, which interacts with lithium — a mood-stabilizing medication — at a moderate level.
Stevia may reduce how quickly your body clears lithium, potentially raising it to unsafe levels. The concern stems from stevia's diuretic (water-shedding) activity, which could shift how your kidneys handle lithium alongside sodium.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Stevia also has minor interactions with blood pressure medications and diabetes drugs. It may theoretically lower blood pressure further when combined with blood pressure meds, and it could increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when taken with diabetes medications — though the clinical evidence on blood pressure is mixed and doesn't show a consistent effect.
Altogether, these interactions span 259 individual medications. If you take lithium, any blood pressure medication, or any diabetes drug, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product to see whether it's right for you.

Stevia leaf extract
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.
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.
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.
