Xylitol birch sugar I mini pack 20g I

Our birch sugar, also known as xylitol, comes exclusively from European production, mainly from Finland. The raw material for the production is hardwood from birch and beech, from sustainable forestry. The extraction of xylitol is very complex. Our xylitol is extracted from the wood sugar xylose in a technically complex process. Small chopped wood is mixed with water. The wood water mass is then cleaned and filtered until all foreign matter has completely separated from the xylitol. No tree is felled exclusively for xylitol production. The wood, which cannot be used for paper production, is particularly suitable for birch sugar. The special feature of xylitol is its cariostatic and anticariogenic effect, which has been proven in various clinical studies. Birch sugar has slightly less sweetening power than standard household sugar and has only a slight influence on blood sugar levels, making it very suitable for diabetics. It is not recommended for children under 3 years of age, but adults should also change to this sugar only slowly, as excessive consumption of xylitol can have a laxative effect.
