XyliSmart® xylitol is a sugar substitute derived from plants. Frequent consumption of between-meal snacks high in sugar and starches can promote tooth decay, while the sugar alcohol xylitol may reduce the risk of dental caries. XyliSmart xylitol is known as a low-glycemic index (GI) sweetener due to its slow absorption into the bloodstream, which supports healthy carbohydrate & glycemic levels. XyliSmart xylitol looks and tastes as sweet as sugar, but with 40% fewer calories and without any of the downsides of sugar, and delivers a cool, refreshing aftertaste. †† Not Genetically Modified.*
