Questions and Answers

what is the different between golden and classic?
What is the difference between golden and classic?

I am waiting for this product over a month, it’s still out of stock. When will it be restocked?

When is the product available again ( classic )
Hi, why don’t you publish the ingredients? The Lakento classic, said to be stronger than this one, has only 1% monk fruit in it. This massive price is just for erythrol, that you can get way cheaper in your supermarket. Hiding that looks like a scam actually.
What is the difference between “Gold” and “Classic”? And does anyone know if this is ok on the candida diet?
What is the % content of monk fruit by weight?

Yes, he’s correct. I have never noticed this product display any fear.
I have ordered both and they both taste the same to me.
I think the golden sweetener is more of a brown sugar consistency, and the classic is more like a granular sweetener. They are fairly interchangeable!
I don, t work for Foodpharmacy Blog how would I know when it will be available?

Golden is a brown sugar replacement and classic replaces white sugar. I’m mot sure about the candida diet, but monk fruit and erythritol do not affect blood sugar, so my guess is it is ok. They have a 0 glycemic index.
Hello there. Given the price of this product, probably not that much – impossible to find out from the pack though! As much as I’d be interested to find out too, the packaging does not actually state this at all. So, we are left guessing. The only solution I could think of was to actually visit the manufacturer’s website, and ask them directly. Hope this helps.
