The use of Stevia dates back to 16th century South
America, a time when the Guarani Indians of Paraguay
referred to Stevia as kaa-he-he. Stevia
leaves were first used to curb the bitterness of
medicinal concoctions and a tea-like tribal drink
known as maté. Natives also enjoyed chewing the
leaves of the Stevia plant on account of their
natural sweetness. These primitive uses were first
documented in 1887 by South American scientist,
Antonio Bertoni. Twenty five years later, the
primary constituents in Stevia were identified by
two French scientists while studying the plant.
NOW® Stevia Extract is based on this very research.
Today, Stevia is cultivated all over the world and
continually attracts new users and markets. NOW®
Stevia Extract is derived from Organically Grown
Stevia rebaudiana, the most potent and
effective species according to ongoing studies. As
