Recently it has come to our attention that some web sites are now really going out of their way to attempt to defraud people who are interested in buying stevioside. This can not stand!

We had several people call and ask why JAJA Stevioside is $93.20 for ½ Kilo (1.1 lbs) while some other stevioside is selling for between $14.99 and $21.99 a pound. That is a very good question. Very good indeed.

Here's why...

If you compare the serving size and quantity you will find that JAJA Stevioside serving size is the size of a sesame seed. That is because JAJA Stevioside is 100% pure. It does not ”Start with pure stevioside“ and then add Erythitol, or silica, or FOS, or whatever filler happens to be the cheapest available like the other cheaper brands do.

One in particular that uses Erythitol has a serving size of 1/3 or 3/4 of a tea spoon. Their 1 pound container has 453 servings. Where JAJA Stevioside (pure stevioside) has over 38,000 servings. Remember a serving of table sugar is One Table Spoon. A serving of JAJA Stevioside is about the size of ONE Sesame seed.

So comparing prices...
$93.20/38000 = $0.00245 per serving compared to (and let's go low)
$14.00/453 = .031 per serving

That means that JAJA Stevioside costs far Less than a penny a serving, while the other brands - even at $14.00 a pound cost 3 pennies per serving! So which saves you money?

Purity versus a product made with really cheap fillers. You are intelligent. You decide.

Lets Make This Clearer

Take the dollar amount per serving (0.031) and multiply that by the amount of servings you get in 1/2 kg of JAJA Stevioside 38,000 and do you know what you get?... If you said ripped off by them, you are correct.

Don't Get Ripped Off

Look at the numbers!

$0.031 X 38000 = $1,178

And that ($1,178) is what you would pay to get an amount equal to the number of servings in ½Kg JAJA Stevioside which costs only $93.20... Gives You A Savings of $1084.80... Quite a difference, don't you agree?

We don't play games because we don't have to. Our product and quality are good enough to speak for themselves.

A word on Rebaudiosides

The stevioside molecule consists of stevioside, rebaudioside, and glycoside and a portion of other materials (water for instance). So when you see a company bragging on a super high percentage of rebaudioside, don't be fooled by their games. They are only trying to confuse you. They can do it because you are looking for high quality, and you have questions. You would expect a company selling a product to know about it. NOT go about misinforming and cheating customers and potential customers.

If someone claims to have 40% rebaudioside it really does not mean much. It means that the percentage of the stevioside molecule allegedly has 40% rebaudioside. So if you are getting a stevioside claiming to be 96% with 40% rebaudioside you would be getting 40% of 96%. However it is highly unlikely that they can (1.) consistently produce to that level, and (2.) actually measure rebaudioside content.

We have been selling JAJA Stevioside for over 10 years. Our facility in China exports world wide, including Japan (the country with the strictest regulations on import quality and safety). Many of the trading companies in China go to our facility and buy some samples, then sell them to customers (a lot of the companies here in the USA). When it comes time to order, these trading companies go to a low quality cheap producer instead of our facility in China and switch to low quality product.

JAJA Stevioside does not change taste or quality from batch to batch. But the choice of what you get is up to you.
