Why We Don’t Use Sucralose or Stevia in Our Supplements

Many supplement brands avoid sugar but turn to artificial sweeteners like sucralose or “natural” alternatives like stevia. We don’t use either.

Sucralose Issues
Sucralose is widely used, but studies raise questions about its effects on the gut microbiome and long-term health.

Stevia Isn’t Always “Natural”
Stevia is often heavily processed, and many people dislike the aftertaste.

Our Sweetener of Choice: Monk Fruit
Monk fruit extract is a natural, plant-based sweetener that delivers a clean, mild sweetness without chemicals or bitterness.

That’s why every Steel Monkey supplement is sweetened only with monk fruit — never sucralose, never stevia, never artificial sweeteners.
