Bonumose 's Tagatose is Certified as a Pre-Biotic

March 11, 2024

 

In a first for a sugar alternative, Bonumose’s Tagatose has been verified & certified as Prebiotic.

 

This recognition took into account Tagatose’s uniqueness in acting like soluble fiber in the GI tract (feeding good gut bacteria, producing beneficial short chain fatty acids, and otherwise benefitting the gut microbiome), all while tasting & cooking almost exactly the same as cane sugar (sucrose).

Congratulations to Bonumose’s Dr. Karen Weikel, Director, Regulatory & Nutrition, for her work with ASR Group on this achievement.

 

Tagatose is an ultra-low glycemic index, naturally-occurring sugar alternative found in tiny quantities in plants such as apples, pineapples, and the sap of a tree related to the cocoa tree. Tagatose does not spike blood glucose or insulin. Tagatose is beneficial for dental/oral health. It has 62% fewer calories than sugar.

 

In addition to the Prebiotic certification, Bonumose’s Tagatose also is certified as:

  • Non-GMO (aka “butterfly stamp”)

  • Ketogenic

  • Plant-Based/Vegetarian

  • Kosher & Halal

 

Tagatose is recognized for a dental health claim under U.S., European Union (EU), and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) laws, and a blood glucose lowering claim under EU and GCC laws. Several “structure/function” claims are allowable under U.S. law.

 

Tagatose is available for bulk purchase through ASR Group. Find ASR this week at Expo West, Booth #1013.March 11, 2024
