Common questions

Is NOW Foods Xylitol healthy?

NOW Foods Xylitol scores 77/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, NOW Xylitol. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in NOW Foods Xylitol?

NOW Foods Xylitol lists 1 ingredient, starting with Xylitol. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
