When it comes to sweetening your nutrition formulas, there’s no one-size-fits-all. That’s why we offer a variety of flavor systems—now including Monk Fruit-sweetened options—so you can choose what works best for your taste preferences, lifestyle, and goals.

Here’s a quick breakdown of three popular sweeteners we offer:

Monk Fruit

A newcomer to our lineup, monk fruit is a naturally sweet extract derived from the Siraitia grosvenorii plant. It’s often favored by those looking for a clean, minimally processed sweetener option. Monk fruit gets its intense sweetness from compounds called mogrosides, which are calorie-free and require only a small amount to flavor a formula. The taste is smooth and mild, with a slightly fruity note, and it is often praised for having less aftertaste than other natural sweeteners.

Stevia (TrueFlavor)

Stevia comes from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana (AKA Reb-A) plant and has long been a go-to natural sweetener. Known for being calorie-free and plant-derived, stevia delivers a powerful punch of sweetness using compounds called steviol glycosides. Some find it has a characteristic aftertaste, while others enjoy its sharp, clean profile. It’s widely used in natural food and beverage products for its intensity and versatility, and you can find this sweetener in any of our TrueFlavor options. 

Sucralose

Sucralose is a non-caloric sweetener derived from sugar through a specialized process. It’s incredibly sweet — around 600 times sweeter than table sugar — and is known for its stability and neutral taste. Sucralose is often chosen for its consistency across formulas and for delivering a sugar-like flavor without calories.

So, Which One’s Best?

That depends entirely on you—your palate, preferences, and purpose. Some athletes prefer the consistency of sucralose, while others gravitate toward natural options like stevia or monk fruit for their plant-based appeal. Whatever your choice, True Nutrition is proud to offer flexible flavor systems to match your formula to your lifestyle.
