NuNaturals, Alcohol Free NuStevia, 2 fl oz (59 ml) Product Review

Great product. Like this product. Good Item. Super Stevia. Not a great taste. Great Stevia. Very satisfied. It seems to disappear sooner than the powder. Love it! Chemically taste

As expected.

Been using this product for a few years. Given up sugar in my coffee but still need that hint of sweetness. The best part is that it has no after taste.

I really liked these drops of stevia, I ordered it twice already.

Great product. Without special smell. Suitable for hot and cold dishes. Even for salted cucumbers

I though it would be having great taste, but alas, after taste in unbearable for me!

Quality product, very convenient packaging to use!

Adds a pleasing taste to my cup of tea. I also add to my homemade toothpaste.

Compared to powdered stevia, it is liquid immediately, so it is easy to use even for cold objects, and there is no problem with the difficulty of melting. However, compared to powder, there is an impression that a large amount of use is necessary, and it disappears unexpectedly quickly.

Works well. Lasts a long time and is very reasonably priced, especially when compared with erythritol/stevia granules or powder. This product is definitely the “value for money” way to go.

Taste awful, sweet as i expected but can’t stand the chemically taste. made my coffee drink with it and just throw the whole mug in to the sink after a sip. won’t buy it again.
