Review of Living Natural Yacon Syrup: Many like yacon syrup for the boost it gives the metabolism & for weight loss, it is also great for those with diabetes & even low sugar to stabilize sugar glucose levels. Yacon is also a prebiotic & probiotic making it good for digestion as well as immune support as well as being a great source of FOS.. I like the taste, it kinda reminds me of sweet potatoes molasses type taste & a molasses consistency. It does not upset my stomach, as a matter of fact it eases stomach issues & gets rid of heart burn for me.

Yacon Syrup is an all natural sweetener product.  I tried this product and personally loved it.  It is designed as a weight loss product. It is suggested to use it 3 times a day to help reduce appetite and aid weight loss.  I used the product in my tea as a sweetener.  It worked great.  The product adds some sweet flavor to your drink and since it is all natural you don’t have the negative health consequences of using sugar.  I thought the flavor was great as well.  Very simple to use and works great. I did notice that I had more energy after using the product.  The appetite suppressant was noticeable as well.  I would note that by itself it will not result in weight loss, good eating habits & exercise will need to be used as well. It can help to reduce hunger though which can make healthy food choices easier to make!

The product must be swallowed but can be done with ease. It did not have a horrible aftertaste or cause any acid re flux.  I did drink plenty of water while trying it.  I did not experience any more frequent then normal trips to the restroom.

-Being Free: ****REVIEW*** Living Natural's Yacon Syrup

Since Living Natural's Yacon Syrup is not the first that I have tried, I was able to compare flavor and texture. It is a great-tasting Yacon syrup though, which is good because I know that taste varies among different brands and producers. This one has a really rich texture and flavor that I enjoy. One of the other brand of Yacon syrups (which I also liked) was the texture of table syrup and had a very mild flavor. This one has a different look (slightly lighter in color and sort of grainy-looking, even though it doesn't feel grainy) and the molasses-like flavor was more distinctive. I like using this one when I want to add a richer flavor to my beverages (okay, coffee). I like it best in hot coffee than any other drink although I have used it in hot and cold teas.

Living Natural brand
compared to...

...The other brand I like

What I wonder, now that I have tried 3 different brands of Yacon syrup, is whether - brand to brand - they all have a difference in taste and texture. In general, like Yacon syrup for the benefits of using it instead of other sweeteners, but taste is important too. With theLiving Natural brand Yacon syrup I have not been disappointed.

I had my sister try this one in her coffee and she actually liked it (even though she is a Splenda user). One of the reasons I think she did like this one more than the first syrup she tried with me (and that I really liked a lot) is because of the stronger flavoring.

There's a reason I want to get my friends and family to try Yacon syrup. Some of the benefits that I have heard of are:

• Yacon root is a natural source of sweetener
• In most cases, fewer in calories and more nutritious
• Yacon syrup contains Fructooligosaccharide (or FOS)
• There are indications that Yacon reduces blood glucose levels & weight loss
• Has a good flavor & lacks the unpleasant after-taste of artificial sweeteners

When my sister first tried Yacon syrup, she commented that she "could get used to it". And getting used to anything new is the main thing. If, like my sister, you have used artificial products -or table sugar, honey, and/or other sweeteners - you will need to get used to Yacon syrup. 

A third brand of syrup I tried was not as much to my liking. It had too strong of a flavor (almost with a wine-like aftertaste) that some people might not mind. This Living Natural syrup is probably my favorite. Unlike some of the other sugar alternatives I've used, Yacon syrup has been easy to get used to though. I did have to learn how much to use and when to use it. For instance, I had been trying Yacon syrup for a while before I started using it regularly on my hot cereals. My sugar use is mainly in coffee, so that's where I started out. 

Now that I am used to the taste and coloring of the Yacon syrup, I wish there were more products made using it as the primary sweetener.

I was so excited for the chance to review Living Natural’s Yacon Syrup. I searched high and low for this sugar substitute when my bf’s dad was first diagnosed diabetic. It is an all natural sweetener that tastes a bit like molasses with a hint of licorice—when mixed with things like coffee it is very subtle yet satisfying. Yacon is unique because the body doesn’t digest it, so you get the satisfaction of a sweet  flavor without the consequences. I’m using it for my candida cleanse diet which bans sugar. I’ve used it as a sweetener for my coffee and in hot tonics and it does the trick! Check it out!

Good afternoon, savvy savers! Today finds us with another new, and interesting product review, this time the Living Naturals Yacon Syrup Sugar Syrup Review! As many of my readers know, I am always on the lookout for new, exciting products to review for this blog, and this product is no exception. I have seen similar syrups throughout many local health food stores, in my area, and was excited to try this variation.

To begin, I have taken this syrup for the past three weeks, and was given the opportunity to try the syrup by way of the manufacturer. Moreover, like many of you, I’ve read numerous reports about yacon root syrup, so I was excited to try this formulation. I have also researched this product, and was able to gather that this type of syrup, made from the yacon plant, was used by the Incas for its nutritional properties, and for the past century in Bolivia, yacón root has been eaten by people with diabetes and renal disorders, because of the syrups ability to help regulate insulin levels. In Brazil, the dried leaves of the yacon plant are used to make yacón tea, which is said to be antidiabetic in property.

I have been pleasantly surprised by the taste of this syrup, with its smooth, easy to consume flavor, a mix of anise, brown sugar, and licorice. I have used it both as a natural sweetener in hot tea and coffee, as well as a in icings for dessert glazes! I also love that this product is natural, both quality and purity tested to be free of artificial flavors, preservatives, or binders. Beyond this, the syrup has helped to stave off my eternal sweet tooth and has helped to curb your appetite; I’ve felt  fuller more quickly than on previous supplements I’ve tried; with only 13 calories a teaspoon, helps me stay within my daily caloric allowance.

I have been very pleased with this syrup thus far, and would purchase it again for myself.

-Welcome To Daisy's Reviews: Living Natural Advanced Probiotics Review

I was sent to review this advanced probotic, which is very easy to swallow, never upset my stomach, nor given any other side effects. These tablets do work, before I used to be bloated, constipated and fatigued, but now with these tablets, it had made my digestive system return to normal. It had taken a few days for me to see results, and it's so worth it. Love how I'm more energized.  Definitely, no more constipation and bloating.

-Probiotics for Healthy Digestion #Review

 What supplement can not only improve digestion and elimination, but also boost the immune system and fight off infection? If you guessed probiotics you are right. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that live primarily in our digestive system. Many people are familiar with yogurt, a food that ideally contains these kind of beneficial microorganisms. Lactobacillus is just one of a number of species that are beneficial to our health. Probiotics also come in supplement form.

Here are some of the benefits of probiotics:

They help us digest and process food, promotes regularity and helps improve mineral absorption. Probiotics support the small intestine to promote healthy immunity, inhibit yeasts and enhance digestion of milk products. They also benefit the large intestine as the first-choice, safe colon cleanse product that supports healthy liver function.

Why Are Probiotics Important?

The health of the human digestive tract is a much more important determinant of vitality than most people realize. Though it runs deep through the center of the body, the digestive tract is actually exposed to the outer environment through the intake of food. Not only that, but through its connection with the liver, whatever is happening in the gut influences the health of the blood and lymph. In addition, the lymphatic system interfaces with the gut; throughout the small intestine are lymphoid tissues called ‘Peyer’s Patches,’ which connect with the lymphatic system. If the microorganisms in the small intestine are out of balance, that can affect the health of the whole body! Sometimes we overlook the simplest ways to boost our vitality. I must admit that for years I didn’t use probiotics. Why? Because I had given up on finding one that had any tangible benefits. Also, my diet includes plenty of raw dairy and other raw foods, and I figured I was getting all manner of beneficial microorganisms just through what I eat.

Just Say ‘No’ to Soil-Based Organisms

One well-known company sells probiotics made with ‘soil-based organisms.’ The products from that company actually made me feel worse! And it wasn’t a ‘die-off reaction’ or ‘detoxification.’ I have a very close communication with my body, and lots of experience with ‘die-off’ and detox. It was very clear that this product was just plain no good. Soil organisms (SO) are spore formers, so they make make good competitors for yeast, fungus and other pathogens. This is why so many people taking soil organisms will initially get good results. However the spores are extremely difficult to kill, surviving sterilants, disinfectants, acceleration forces, heat, pressure, radiation and many antibiotics. Soil organisms can also adapt loose genetic material and incorporate it into their cellular structure – the ramifications of which are yet unknown. Various soil organisms can also produce harmful peptides, affecting hemoglobin in the blood. It’s important to keep in mind that virtually all antibiotic drugs were were initially developed from soil organisms and as antibiotics become more potent, they cause more damage to the host, not just in the immediate gut environment, but systematically as well. In Europe, the use of soil organisms in animal feed is being strictly controlled. There are too many questions and unknowns to justify the use of soil organisms for humans and one can certainly cannot qualify them as safe at this time.

Feeling is Believing

When you initially start taking a probiotic, you should notice something! If you don’t feel any different, either you have an extremely healthy digestive tract, or the product is not potent. Commonly, most of the beneficial bacteria died before you got the product, or they were never alive in the first place. If they are not alive, they can’t help you! There are literally hundreds of strains of probiotics. Most are not genetically suited to do the toughest work. When selecting a probiotic, make sure that the product has been kept refrigerated from the time it was packaged to the time you receive it. The company should guarantee the potency of their product, and should comply with GMP (Good Manufacturing Standards). If you aspire to optimal health, or wish to improve digestion, support immune function, and fight infections, it is wise to supplement with probiotics.

If you’re looking for a good probiotic for your health care routine then checking out the Probiotics for Healthy Digestion by Living Naturals is a good place to start your search. To start off with the downside – I don’t like how big the pills are. I have a horrible gag reflex so larger sized pills are hard for me to swallow. Aside from that detail this is a great product. You take one or two capsules per day on an empty stomach. When first starting out though I would suggest using only one pill then working your way up to two as your body adjusts. That’s just my personal opinion though. The pills thankfully have no taste to them so they’re not too difficult to digest. Large pills + Nasty taste = me not taking. So thankfully no issues there. As far as how they work – I found that these I didn’t feel anything instantly, but after a few days of use I could feel a difference. My body felt healthier – no other way to explain it. I had a bit of natural energy that I didn’t have prior to taking the pills. It was a bunch of subtle changes that I could feel internally that I noticed since taking these. So far these seem to be doing great for me and my body.

-Daddy Waddy Weeviews: Living Natural Advanced Probiotics Review

I am an in the stands beer vendor with acid reflux. Last weekend I realized Powerade hurts my stomach something awful. I also cannot drink any dark sodas because of the affect they have on me. I take Protonix and it does pretty good work for me. . I started taking the Probiotics supplement and my stomach feels much better today. I like that it is all natural and it makes my stomach feel like it is supposed to feel. I will continue to use these probiotics to keep my digestive system normal and feeling good. I am happy there is a product like this on the market that helps me feel normal. My doctor also thinks it is a good idea for me to take probiotics to make sure my digestive system works better. So far, so good. Update-after using this probiotic for awhile, I notice I have much less problems with my stomach. This also has something to do with me taking better care of myself and eating better too. The Protonix works for me, but I think the probiotics give me the extra (I need) to keep my stomach feeling like it should. My wife sees how probiotics is helping me, so she started trying them too. We received this product free, the opinions are my own. I admit I am likely dealing with worse stomach problems than most people. I use a combination of my Protonix and probiotics. This helps me most days, which is great when you deal with problems I deal with.

The digestive tract plays an important role in our body as it is the means by which nutrients from the food we eat are absorbed for use in various bodily functions, which include not only to regulate, grow and regenerate to the microcellular level, but also to protect it from diseases.  Because of these, it is important to keep our digestive system in tip-top shape by balancing the best count of good bacteria that will keep the bad bacteria at bay and boost gut performance to the maximum.

We know that the diet, lifestyle and constantly stressful situations we encounter daily may cause an undesirable imbalance of these bacteria, and may often be the cause of mood swings, malabsorption of vitamins and minerals, and worse, cause diseases like high blood pressure that can ultimately lead to stroke. 

This makes it important for us to make a conscious effort to keep our gut healthy by supplying it with the correct good bacteria enough to combat the invasive tendencies of bad bacteria when our immune system is down or becomes compromised due to illness or stress.  However our diet may not sufficiently provide this, Blue Sky Retail has introduced its Living Natural Advanced Probiotics, a unique formulation composed of Unique IS-2 (bacillus coagulans) 75mg and NutraFlora P-95 (fructooligosaccharide or FOS) 500mg, to supplement the demands of colon health.  When taken regularly, it not only guarantees an array of health benefits like taking away chronic stomach pains such as bloating, gas and indigestion, but also improves bowel movement through prevention of constipation.  Taking 1 to 2 Living Natural Advanced Probiotics tablets on an empty stomach daily provides a feeling of being less weighed down and makes you enjoy a flat belly sensation.  And not only that, it also helps improve your moods, enhances metabolism and immunity, and helps lowers blood pressure.

Living  Natural Probiotics is produced from only quality ingredients and handled with the right storage conditions to protect the product's integrity. It is manufactured in state-of-the-art US facilities approved according to FDA standards. Living Natural Probiotics and other Living Natural products are available at amazon.com.

I received a bottle of The  Living Natural Yacon Syrup from Living Natural in exchange for an honest review. I have been using this syrup in my coffee every morning for the last week and boy was I impressed! A little bit of this syrup sure goes a long way! Especially for me since I don't really like super sweet coffee. This is a great substitute for any recipe calling for a sweetener too! The coolest thing about this syrup is that it has been linked to weight loss! How cool is that?!

-Hanna Lei: Review: Yacon Syrup

I've been working really hard on getting fit and being healthy and although I've had a few mishaps along the way, I'm still going at it strong. It didn't occur to me until recently though that maybe I shouldn't only be eating healthier but also supplementing my diet with things that are known to be good for you, and that's why I decided to try out this Yacon Syrup, because I've heard a whole lot of good things. First I'll start by telling you what exactly it is. 

Yacon Syrup, is raw and all natural syrup that comes from the roots of naturally grown Yacon plants in Peru. It is low in calorie, and low glycemic sweeter has been shown to boost metabolisms, lower blood pressure as well as increase fiber and antioxidants. Looking at the packaging, I have to admit I like it I feel like this is something I can just store away in my pantry (it doesn't need refrigerated) and add to my cake and pancake mixes for a little extra boost. 

Not only can it be added to mixes but you can take it by itself, a serving size of a teaspoon three times a day, before meals. I expected it to taste awful, but honestly it isn't bad, not bad at all. I didn't have any trouble eating it straight.

Overall I really like the Yacon Syrup, and can see myself using it as a dietary supplement to keep me from eating so many snacks throughout the day. It tastes good, and seems to work well, even if it is a little pricey.

-Reviewed, Fresh From the Mailbox: Living Natural Yacon Syrup Review

I was disappointed that when I received this package that the seal was broken. It was not fully broken or removed so I did not worry about using it.

I have been using this product in my coffee and tea recently and I love it! It is a great alternative to artificial sweeteners and there's no icky aftertaste. This tasted way better than I expected so it was easy to give it a try. I like that it is manufactured under proper quality control processes so that you know what you are getting. 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Check out the benefits of taking Living Natural Yacon Syrup daily and start enjoying life to the fullest !

Blue Sky Retail introduces its new product Living Natural Yacon Syrup in its gourmet food line of natural products this 2014.  Aimed at helping health-conscious people stay fit through eating, supplementing or substituting ordinarily processed foods with nutritious natural foods, Living Natural Yacon Syrup is Blue Sky's flagship product for the year.

Living Natural Yacon Syrup is an all-natural food that helps in slimming down, boosting metabolism and energy levels, and providing overall gut protection.  It is a great tasting alternative sweetener that does not only suppress in-between meal sugar cravings, but also gives only a third of the calories of ordinary table sugar.  Taken alone, with drinks, or used in preparing foods like cookies or muffins, it gives a rich sweet flavor similar to molasses.  By simply substituting sugar or sweetener with the equivalent amount of yacon syrup gives a delectable twist to refreshing drinks like juice, tea or coffee, homemade and gourmet cuisine, and even grandma's time-tested recipes.  Whilst improving the flavor of food and drinks, this natural wonder helps make them healthier, too!

The yacon root is a soluble fiber that helps people feel full.  Yacon contributes few calories because it passes through the body undigested.  The active ingredient, which leads to weight loss, is fructooligosaccharides (FOS).  FOS is also found in onions, garlic, asparagus, bananas, artichokes and chicory, but the concentration in yacon is much higher.  With a low GI (or glycaemic index), this makes it suitable for diabetics and those suffering from digestion problems.  Fiber assists in lowering blood sugar, cuts cholesterol and can help to prevent colon cancer by pushing waste out through the colon.  It absorbs water and cleans the gastric cavity along the way for ease with bowel movements which eliminates internal toxins faster. Additionally, the low GI of this root crop extract results to the steady rise of glucose level in the blood, which in turn leads to small gentle increases of insulin in the body.  This maintains the feeling of fullness for longer periods and prevents unwanted between-meal snacking, a better and healthier method than dieting or skipping meals.

 

As to all of Blue Sky's food products, it has an excellent safety profile. It is produced from only pure quality yacon root crops, with no coloring or additives used to alter its purity.  It is manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities approved according to FDA standards.  Living Natural Yacon Syrup and other Living Natural products are available at Amazon.com.
