What’s Organic Xylitol?
Organic Xylitol Powder is a natural sugar alcohol derived from certified organic birch trees (Betula spp.) through a sustainable hydrolysis process. This crystalline powder delivers ≥99.5% purity with a clean sweet taste (1:1 sucrose equivalence), zero net carbs, and dental health benefits. Non-GMO, vegan, and suitable for diabetic formulations.

Key Highlights
- Dental Health: Reduces cavities by 80% (inhibits S. mutans)
- Diabetic Safe: GI=7, no insulin spike required
- Prebiotic: Feeds beneficial gut bacteria (Bifidobacteria)
- Tooth-Friendly: Non-cariogenic (does not cause tooth decay)
Key Features & Benefits
1. Health Advantages
- Blood Sugar Control: Metabolized independently of insulin
- Bone Density: Enhances calcium absorption (osteoporosis prevention)
- Ear/Nose Health: Reduces childhood ear infections by 40%
2. Functional Performance
- Heat Stability: Maintains sweetness at baking temperatures (180°C)
- Humectancy: Retains moisture in baked goods (extends freshness)
- Maillard Reaction: Participates in browning (unlike other sugar alcohols)
3. Safety & Compliance
- GRAS Status: FDA-approved for unlimited use in foods
- Pet Safety: Safe for human consumption (note: toxic to dogs)
- Non-Laxative: Higher tolerance threshold vs. other sugar alcohols
4. Sustainability
- Carbon Negative: Birch trees sequester CO₂ throughout lifecycle
- Zero Waste: Biomass residue → bioenergy production

FAQs
Q: What are the primary sources of your Organic Xylitol?
A: Our Organic Xylitol is primarily sourced from organic birch wood or organic non-GMO corn cobs, both recognized as high-quality, sustainable sources for xylitol production.
Q: How does Organic Xylitol benefit dental health?
A: Organic Xylitol cannot be metabolized by Streptococcus mutans, the primary bacteria responsible for tooth decay. This reduces acid production in the mouth, inhibits bacterial growth, and encourages the remineralization of tooth enamel, leading to fewer cavities and stronger teeth.
Q: What’s the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Xylitol typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (below 75°F / 24°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging. It should be kept well-sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
Q: Is Organic Xylitol safe for all consumers, including those with diabetes?
A: Yes, Organic Xylitol is generally recognized as safe for human consumption. Its low glycemic index makes it a suitable sugar substitute for individuals with diabetes, as it does not cause rapid spikes in blood sugar or insulin levels. However, as with any dietary change, individual dietary advice should always be followed.
Q: Can Organic Xylitol be used as a 1:1 replacement for sugar in recipes?
A: In terms of sweetness, Organic Xylitol is very close to a 1:1 replacement for sugar. In terms of bulk and texture, it also performs very similarly to sugar in many applications. However, in large quantities, it can have a mild laxative effect. For baking, some adjustments might be needed depending on the recipe, as it does not caramelize or brown in the same way as sucrose.
