SUSTA Sweetener

By , About.com Guide   July 7, 2010

Follow me on:

A few weeks ago, I received a sample of SUSTA sweetener from NXT Nutritionals, Inc. I was willing to try the product because there is plenty of interest in natural low calorie sweeteners. SUSTA is made from natural ingredients such as inulin, fructose (not high fructose corn syrup or sugar), probiotics, plus it has vitamin C, a few other vitamins, minerals and natural extracts added to it.

SUSTA has a nice sweet flavor with just a slight aftertaste when tasted straight from the packet (in my opinion, much less than other low and zero calorie sweeteners) and when I use SUSTA with my morning cereal or in coffee, I don't notice the aftertaste.

SUSTA is sold in single serving packets and each serving has 5 calories and 10% of your daily vitamin C, plus a few other nutrients. It also adds a little bit of probiotics and prebiotics, which may help your digestive system stay healthy.

I haven't tried cooking with SUSTA, however the company has some recipes available. For more information on SUSTA, see their website

Stevia, and Agave are also natural sweeteners that are better for you than sugar.

I have tried the SUSTA and I really like the taste. Pepsi, Coke, and Nestle should look at this peoduct. It is a great sugar substitute.
I think they have it at Membership clubs and Publix. Try it, I did.
