Maybe Customs think it's something else!!! I'd keep away from buying powders online that look like but aren't drugs!!! be very careful.

Stevia is easy to find if you know what to look for! It is sold under the brand name "Truvia" in any grocery store (U.S.). I find mine at Target. Truvia is the granular version of Stevia, the natural sweetener. If you are looking for the liquid, which is more concentrated, you can find that at any GNC store (General Nutrition Center), where it is sold under the name "Stevia."

Not in the U.S. or can't find a GNC? Go to GNC online and you can order there.

Have fun with your stevia! I absolutely love it! I use it in everything, including homemade icecream! Yum!

Can you tell me how stevia can be used as a facial treatment? I have never heard of that use, but am very interested...

Blessings to You!

Hi,
I'm odd woman out here I live in the US and we can find it in the regular Grocery stores as well as Health Food stores. I was curious about the Whole Stevia Leef Extract as I have read that is best to use for a mask, but all I find is the clear liquid extract or the powder (white)! Does any one know if the whole leaf is really better?

TIA

well from experience I can tell you I get better results from the powder than the liquid. but as for the whole leaf no I cannot say. I can't find any of that around here yet.

I found the whole leaf extract at iHerb.com - Vitamins, Supplements & Natural Health Products
I haven't ordered it yet but plan on giving it a try, I'll
let you all know how it works out!

Hello ...

I just walked over to Whole Foods ... in LA ... and they have every variation of Stevia known to man ... I purchased both the extract in liquid form as well as the little packets of powder Stevia ... I mixed three packets with hot water and put a few drops of the liquid in with the mixture ... it is rather watery ... however, simply place it on your face with your fingers ... you will wonder, what is this all about ... how can anything so watery do anything ... but just wait ... it will dry and tighten your skin (seemingly) ... I still have it on as I write this ... but thus far, I love it ... my skin feels so tight ... I will report back once I rinse it off ...
