Why did we swap glycine with monk fruit?Updated 2 days ago

Glycine is and will remain a Hunter & Gather ingredient - you'll still find it in many of our products because we love the benefits far beyond the natural sweetness it provides. However, for a seriously salty product like our Restore, we needed an ingredient that would better enhance the flavours without letting the saltiness dominate the flavour profile. Just like glycine, our Monk Fruit doesn't raise blood glucose or insulin levels unlike most sugars, but has a sweeter taste which helps the natural fruit flavours shine through.
