TagSWEET® Tagatose Reduced-Calorie Sugar provides a clean, satisfying sweetness to your beverage, bakery, frozen, confectionary and dairy applications. TagSWEET® Tagatose maintains an exceptionally low-glycemic index (GI) of 3 and will reduce total calories by more than 60% for every gram of traditional sugar it replaces. Tagatose is a rare sugar that is produced naturally from galactose sugar in milk and has a sweetness profile virtually identical to that of sucrose.
As an additional benefit, consumption of tagatose leads to a healthy increase in the production of beneficial colonic bacteria (probiotics), butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids. Harmful bacteria such as Clostridium difficile (common root cause of colitis) do not feed on tagatose.
