Rebaudioside A (CAT: I004181) is a natural compound classified as a steviol glycoside, derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It is widely used as a natural sweetener and sugar substitute due to its intense sweetness without contributing calories or affecting blood sugar levels. In addition to its sweetening properties, rebaudioside A exhibits other biological activities. It acts as an α-glucosidase inhibitor, which can help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
