Equal uses a unique combination of ingredients to ensure it has a great sugar-like taste and does not leave the bitter aftertaste commonly associated with some sweeteners.

Aspartame is the main sweetening ingredient in Equal sachets and tablets, it is composed of two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine, which are found naturally in protein containing foods, including meats, grains and dairy products. Your body digests these components in exactly the same way as it would digest them from these other sources.

Equal Spoon for spoon is formulated with aspartame and Ace-K, like aspartame, Ace-K is approximately 200 times sweeter than real sugar. Ace-K is not metabolised by the body, it is rapidly absorbed and then excreted unchanged.

Additional ingredients are added to Equal to make the very concentrated sweetener easier to dissolve and enhance the flavour of the food and drink. All ingredients are approved food additives that can be safely added to food and beverages.
