Where can I buy liquid Splenda?

[nmjunko]

I've searched online and everywhere...there's something called sweetened liquid fiber....is that it? It says it's sweetened with Splenda- not that it IS Splenda...

Thanks!

Hi June,

I think you are referring to Fiberfit which I get from netrition.com
It is liquid splenda that also has a small amount of soluble fiber added to it (4gm per tsp) I have used it periodically with no problems although I tend to use more stevia as spenda can set off sweet cravings more me (any type of splenda not just Fiberfit).

It is a bit pricey, but a little goes a long way.

Good luck!
Kristen

Is this what you're looking for?

It doesn't have any added fiber, it's just liquid sucralose.

true liquid Splenda doesn't exist in North America. The company that holds the patent on it can make more money selling it for use in products then they can selling it to individuals so they don't. First they tried to say it was because of a lack of demand but we all know that isn't true. The demand for it has gone up each yr as more and more folk low carb.

You can find grey market products like that one in the link that is splenda cut with water but as the company discovers them they threaten them with legal action and cut off their supply. If you trust the purity of it then buy it and if you don't check around with other low carbers for a source they have used and trust.

yeah, and they don't ship for two weeks after receiving your order? Sounded fishy to me, too.

Okay, well, thought I'd save a carb here and there. Thanks for the info!

Liquid splenda comes out to 67 cents per cup of sugar equivalent. I haven't priced granular splenda lately but I think liquid splenda is cheaper. Even if it wasn't cheaper, I'd still pay more for it to save the carbs. Once you start baking with granular splenda, those trace carbs really add up.

The two week lag in shipping is very fishy to me, too, which is why I've never ordered anything from locarber. Many people have had good experiences with them, but their response time needs some work.

Although I've come across some fly by night operations that sell liquid splenda for cheaper, I know 10s of people who have had wonderful experiences purchasing it from Sweetzfree. When you take into account shipping, sweetzfree is slightly cheaper than locarber. More importantly, though, is the fact that locarber dilutes the liquid splenda and sweetzfree does not. This can really make a difference in the lifespan of the product.

Do yourself a huge favor and buy the liquid splenda. I have yet to find anyone that regretted the decision. You'll be saving money over what you get at the supermarket and it'll be ZERO carbs.

2big, that's not quite true. I think it was true for a few years, but since sweetzfree opened for business, they have been selling undiluted liquid splenda. Not that it doesn't contain water. MacNeil, the manufacturer, sells two forms of splenda to companies. One is the pure powder and the other is a water/sucralose solution. MacNeil refers to this solution as both 'sucralose liquid concentrate' and 'liquid splenda.' Sweetzfree just repackages it. Locarber repackages it AND adds water.

According to MacNeil, pure liquid splenda, in the original packaging, stored correctly, will last for 5 years from date of manufacture. Repackaging is a big potential source for contaminants. Additional water is an even bigger source.

I got mine from www.sweetzfree.com - received it 3 days after ordering it, and will certainly get it there again when I run low.

I did a little research and Oneil as of 2/04 no longer owns the rights to any form of sucralose other then Splenda

so by calling it sweetfreeze they are legal and describe it as this Sweetzfree is a clear liquid syrup base, highly concentrated, and made soley from 100% pure Sucralose in a purified water concentrate.

Wow, thanks for all the info! I ordered a bottle- I hope it lasts pretty long as 2 ounces doesn't seem like a lot. But it'll be nice to have my iced tea without losing a carb every time I have a glass!
